Carnival Holocaust

Talk about a sick society, it appears one of the samba schools down in Rio is planning a Holocaust float that includes 28-people tied upside down to crucifixes. An idiot impersonating Adolf Hitler is to dance over it all. Yesterday the main Jewish federation won a court injunction prohibiting the spectacle under the penalty of tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Only time will tell if the Viradouro samba school will try to make its point that even the Holocaust can become a Carnival float if its handled right. "This is against violence," Paulo Barros said. "The way we've done it, I don't think it's in bad taste."

He's got to be be kidding. This has to be the prime example of how far we've come as a shameless species.

The parade starts Sunday night.
