My hat, my life

The name, Edigar Mao Branca. You can translate something like this: Edgar White Hand.
This fella is a representative in Brazilian Congress and he insists on keeping his hat (a kind of cowboy hat) during the sessions of the parliament. He says he always used it – at any place – since he was a horse tamer, long ago!
Lord, have mercy of Brazil…

Simple Life Brazil

The Brazilian version of Simple Life sent two ‘model and actresses’ (Ticiane Pinheiro and Karina Bacchi ) to a farm in Sao Paulo state. As you can see bellow, the two beauties didn’t love that much the idea of stripping and cleaning the fish they just caught. It will be broadcast soon on TV Record, Brazilian second large TV network. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Gotcha fishy.

Who said WE have to mess with this thingy?

Brazilian Representative Candidates

In Brazil, there’s an assigned time in national TV for representative candidates to show up their platforms. It’s mandatory and it shows up in all TV broadcasters at the same time. This is a video made with the most bizarre candidates to the past 2006 general balloting. Some of them got actually elected. For me, the best, most bizarre of the lot is Lara, 31031. By the way, this numbers assigned to the candidates are the numbers people use to vote for them on the electronic ballots.
