Unemployed since the eighties, He-Man left Greyskull to live in Brazil. Though he’s a pitiful failure since he was fired from Hollywood, he’s still powerful in some ways, so this motorbike shop employs him as a debt collector.

So this southerner young couple was a bit bored with urban semi-civilized Brazilian life and decided to live Diogenes style: in a barrel, literally. They bought a big oak barrel from a neighboring winemaker, and installed it in a small patch of land in a hill (1400 meters above sea level) far from any town in a mountain called Montenegro (Black Mountain) in the southern Rio Grande do Sul state. In this video you can see them showing to a national TV reporter how they use and recycle everything on their property, how they live “close to nature and birds” and so on.

“In a full moon night I can read without artificial lights” says the girl at the ending. Diogenes “get out of my sun, Alexander of Macedonia” of Sinope should approve of them.

Thanks for the hint, Träsel.

Jacare Banguela (.br) means literally the “Toothless Alligator”. It’s the most successful humor blog in Brazil and a powerful source of Internet memes. The most successful meme, indeed, is the one which spreads Jacare’s trademark: Any sign that mimes an alligator spread mouth (made with hands, legs, etc) eating something. Another successful meme is the “Drunken of the Week Award”, also featured above. I’ve collected some of the most creative from Brazilians all over the world to you:
