2/23/2004: Adam and Eve float

It's Brazil's Carnival, and workers at the Rio Grande samba school in Rio de Janeiro are nearly finished with a Carnival float portraying a scene never shown in Sunday school -- Adam and Eve making love. And the Brazilian Catholic Church is threatening to sue.

Sue? Why, because they're in the patented missionary position or they have a copyright to Adam & Eve?

It's already too late... This special float has been forbidden because it showed some explicite kama-sutra positions.

They'd just as soon forget the word "beget"...

Yeah, becuz dey begettin' it on!

Nah, its because of the dancing that happens at the parade.

I'm sure there are hundred or thousands of topless women in the parade. I guess that's not that bad.:p

Brazil = cooler than Utah.

Everywhere = cooler than Utah. Unless you REALLY dig intricate multipart choir singing and noncaffeinated beverages.

Yea -- isn't The Polyphonic Spree from Utah?

Yikes! Shoot me now.

Somebody spent a lot of time making each little box on that web site a link to something.

What does the side view of that float look like?


I found this article:

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/health/7996950.htm

Among the interesting tidbits:

"The school's 80-minute parade Sunday will feature a giant float of Adam and Eve caught in the act of original sin, as well as same-sex kissing and couple-swapping. All will be singing the school's theme song, Let's Dress with a Condom, My Love."


The BBC has a more subtle translation:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3505109.stm

"Let's Wear the Little Shirt, My Love, is Grande Rio's song this year, a slang reference to wearing a condom."

does it include the ummm... serpent?
