Oh, to be in Rio De Janeiro for this year's Carnaval...A Rio samba group built a Carnival float piled with naked mannequins meant to look like Holocaust victims. Ahhh, the spirit of celebration! The group of douchebags, Viradouro, reportedly also planned for the float to be topped with one or more dancers in Hitler costume. Well, that would be bad...but at least they're dancing!
After the Jewish Federation of Rio de Janeiro filed a lawsuit, a judge issued an injunction banning the float as it is now from the parade. What a waste of the theme: "It Gives you Goose Bumps."
Har har.
Viradouro would neither confirm nor deny those plans, but a judge said the group would face fines of $113,000 if it ignores her order by parading without removing the mannequins, and $28,000 for each dancer dressed as Hitler. Viradouro is scheduled to present its carnival parade early Monday morning at Rio's Sambadrome stadium...let's see if they have their checkbook handy.
