While browsing through some Diggs on digg.com, I came across a recent article written by Carlos Cardoso called Breaking news: Brazil blocks AdSense payments.

Here’s a copy of the email clipping from Brazil’s AdSense team he posted on his blog:

From: “Google AdSense” adsense-pt@google.com
Subject: Important message about your AdSense payment

Hello;

We´d like to inform you that the delivery of your AdSense paycheck, from December, was aborted, unexpectedly, due to restrictions imposed by brazilian customs laws, related to courier-delivered checks.

be assured we are working to solve this impasse as soon as possible and we will contact you again as soon as we´ve further information.

Cardoso comments “What kind of government is stupid enough to block INCOMING money? there´s not even a single fracking tax advantage to people who BRING money to the country, but at least we should´ve equal rights to people who make money in country.”

Personally, I find this sadly humorous. Sad because these people aren’t getting paid and because their government has their panties in a bunch over something. Humorous because I agree with Cardoso.

You can watch for updates on this posting on The Jungle Book.
