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: Giselle Bundchen lookalike… Welder Rodrigues from Cia da Comedia: Daniel Xavier, one of the Cartoon Networks producers asked his friend Jhonnie to draw this one: (more…) © Rico Ferrari on Bizarre Brazil, 2007. | Permalink See more posts in the category Characters, Oddities, Photography, Culture, Humor, Bizarre, Nerdstuff.

But who lives, Deckard?
2007-05-15 12:10:18
Now the Pope is gone, back to business. Every time a foreigner friend say me how violent is the US and blahblahblah I tell he or she about the incredible number of deaths every day in Brazilian slums, trench towns and downtowns. There are weekends in some cities (especially Rio de Janeiro, but also Sao Paulo and other minor metropolitan areas) where body counts can be as large as three, four, five Virginia Techs. I’m obviously not proud of this numbers, as you can imagine, but I won’t start a personal crusade either. Well, enough said. And some numbers from World Health Organization Statistical Information System to compare the 2002 body count. This numbers are sent to WHO by the governments, so it’s all official figures. In 2002 in Brazil the leading causes of death for men in all ages groups were: 40812 deaths from: Unattended death (R98)* 35886 deaths from: Acute myocardial infarction - Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified (I219) 22360 deaths from:

Mayor of Sao Paulo promess to finish the polluted air
2007-05-19 19:09:30
First, Mr. Kassab, Mayor of Sao Paulo City, prohibited the billboards, now is the polluted air. This is a bit arbitrary, is it not? I am very afraid about one thing: could we have permission to fart at open air? See the this post, “an almost class” about this subject by Rico Ferrari.

A secretary or a miracle?
2007-05-14 13:00:33
Your Holiness, I have forgotten asking you a little favour. The case is: I need desperately a secretary. Could be a modest one, like your secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, for example. Would you mind recommend me to the Almight in your prayers? I thank you on my knees. Sincerely yours, Ira.
