"Don't you feel
everything, everyone
is going mental?"
"Everything's Just Wonderful" - Lily Allen
Every language has a culture behind. When it comes to Spanish, this is no exception, as a language, it recognises certain compositions and events that bring its speakers to tears of pure joy. In the case of the Spanish language, History makes it hard to find one of those after 1939... this, of course, until the Maldita Lisiada happened.
This work of art was naïvely made by Telemundo, a Latin American TV producing company, without even the thought of the possibility of it becoming a meme. After years, once time had buried it within all of the televisive junk the company represents, the Internet found it... And it did what the Internet does best: bringing it back to life... as a lisiado phoenix.
I keep thinking this is what we should study in Spanish. Because everything else about the language is irrelevant and you know it.
On the other hand, this makes up for a perfect cult movie: The Lisiada Syndrome. It would be about a devil who possesses people making them shout "MALDITA LISIADAAAAA" all the time and spit foam. Also, it's my idea so the hero must be fat. Despite that, though, I would pay to watch it for sure. Then I would scream "MALDITA LISIADAAAAAAAA!" with all of my heart and lungs and I'd know I can finally die in peace. That's every human's life goal.
Too serious, I know :/
