@ Carla and @ Gilmar From what I know regarding the radio station sponsoring this event, it's just something to get people's attention, they like to do that a lot just for fun. It doesn't mean there's actually going to be a man biting dogs! ;)

Possible explanation In journalism they say that "dog bites man" isn't interesting news, but if you want to get people's attention, say "man bites dog."

Algum dos nossos colegas que moram em Portugal poderão falar melhor sobre este espetáculo.
Carla Selyer (asker) Nov 6, 2017:
