Brazilian trolls are going to strike soon…
Thank you for waiting.
*ahem*
These are the moments where i feel completely embarrassed of being a brazilian, and one of the reasons i don’t live in there, the elections there are nothing but a joke, believe it or not this is not the worst guy i’ve seen trying to be a congressman
I haven’t seen this. Is it great?
Yes, indeed it is real. I feel ashamed of being brazilian at this moments too.
Aww… I think Brazilians are great!
Hi
I’m brazilian and, YES, this notice is real.
But this clown is a clown, in fact, it’s just a comedian who was a candidate could get elected and his name is Francisco Everardo, better known by his stage name: “Tiririca”.
And all this controversy caused by a probable illiteracy.
Great to know, pal!
Me too….
This pretty much explodes our (already small) political reputation.
WTF Brazil.
Really.
Just WTF.
Illiterate clowns are still one step above xenophobe morons with criminal* party members if you ask me.
WTF the Netherlands.
In fact, WTF politics in general.
What the hell happened to democracy?
* The 24 party members have a collective jail time of over 50 years.
democracy’s just the same as its ever been haha
Please don’t fight the good cause with lies.
Several members of the PVV (to which you are surely referring) did dubious things, but just one member was convicted, and he spend ‘just’ one week in jail.
But that’s the strength of Brazil, anyone can get elected even if they are not a part of the “elite”.
Anyone getting elected is not a strength if you are electing clowns.
Actually, in Brazil the votes are of the party, not of the polititian. Tiririca got over 1 million votes, much above what he needed to get elected in the district he was running for. He elected together with him 4 candidates, among those there were corrupt ones. Democracy for us all huh?
The votes in Tiririca elected another 4 of the same party, due to our twisted election rules. Some of these 4, already known as corrupts.
Now, this is the strenght of Brazil.
I know your pain
this is for real right?
yes it is……very real. “Tiririca” was even facing prision…
no, its not real…
Kriss Kross will make them jump up! Mac Dad with make them jump up! Wiggity wack!
yeah. i’m brazilian. there’s nothing more f*cked up in my country than politics. shame on us..
lol ur just so dum… u belive in a US internet news?
Do you believe in Google? Because it’s real.
Do you believe in magic? In a young girl’s heart?
The strange thing is that the paulistas treat the people who live in northeast/north Brazil like me as if they weren’t people just for voting in Dilma. And the paulistas voted in a clown. Is that fair?I guess not.
Matt, don’t generalize.
Stay away from my city!
The girls from my city are the hottest.
que má fé a sua hein? filho de deputado?
He won the election fair and square, and the rest of the candidates are just miffed they lost to a clown despite their expensive campaigns and void promises. Now they are trying to have him thrown out despite what the people have voted and democracy be damned.
Honestly, I see this guy as a much better representative of the people than the average congressman — for starters, he comes from a non-privileged background and has held an honest job in his life, so perhaps he has some idea about what problems normal people have to deal with every day.
If you are brazilian and you are a clown, maybe he is representative of you. Not me, sorry. I want you and the rest of the people who voted him to die. Really. Now. Drop dead. Please.
Fact!
XD
Yeah! So what if he can’t read or write! So what if he has no idea what he’s running for! THE PEOPLE WANT HIM!
Democratic logic has its flaws.
Well the US voted for a clown in 2004, and he couldn’t read or write, much less demonstrate any measurable intelligence…
You just can’t fix stupid…
LOL! Best comment till now.
I less than three this comment.
The point is that he is really illiterated. Its just a plot to carry others candidates to congress. Here in Brazil when a candidate have too many votes, part of his votes can be transfered for other candidates from the same party. But there are so many idiots in Brazil that doesnt know the election constitution. They elected a clown as a joke, a riot against compulsory voting and elected bad politicians
lol illiterated.
Common sense fail.
The real problem -> the corrupts that got elected thanks to his votes.
Dont blame us..We did it for the lulz….
And there wasn’t any other better candidate…
true dat
worked for reagan
Reminds me of Frank Zappa for President:
“Think of all the people who’ve been President of the United States. Could I do any worse? If I didn’t know $#!@ from shinola, could I do any worse?”
And Arnold.
yeah, we are the “champions”…
This isn’t the first time something like this happened. Remember the rhino who got elected mayor of Sao Paulo?
Wow….I wonder how many times Pee Wee Herman has won an election and “The Man” covered it up?
Six.
I mean, not that I would know or anyth*mysteriously disappears and is never heard from again*
Though the irony that the story that suggests his reading and writing are not up to scratch uses the word ‘laugher’ in the first line is not lost on me…
Well, thats just newspaper talking cus
“Tiririca” or Grumpy has a Degree in Law School,
that is just a character he made 1 day to apear on TV and
people love it.
Are you a moron? Tirirca can read a word, he probably paid to pass the examn and be elegible. better saying people paid to him, he represents powerfull candidates whom have been benefict with his votes above the average.
“Tiririca” does NOT mean “grumpy”, this statement was the result of a poor research made by AP that spreaded worldwide. It is the name of a weed which is annoying and hard to get rid of. Check it out: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_rotundus
Wait… being literate is a prerequisite for being a politician in Brazil? Maybe he should become a Fox News staffer instead… apparently their qualifications are much less stringent! We need to run clowns in the US, but it certainly wouldn’t be the first time there were Bozos in the congress.
People voted for him as a protest vote. But with the voting system, elected other 4 candidates. Now, we are the clowns and they are laughing at us.
Considering you’re surprised that voting for a certain party member might influence the election results of other party members, you do indeed deserve to get laughed at.
Literacy tests for pols would be a good idea here in the US, I think.
Sports figures don’t have to take literacy tests either. Some college athletes can only spell their name and that is through repetition! They are like literary parrots!
They got rid of that back in the Jim Crow days.
literacy test to vote /= literacy test to be a politician
How rude of you, saying things about someone you’ve never seen.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iWKJmnG8aT4/TMXs_LxXAeI/AAAAAAAAG24/Vpfpz6xBJ7I/s400/Tiririca.jpg
Here you go, now you can say anything about him.
typical brazilian.
fake and gay.
How many Brazilians do you know? Of those, how many are fake and how many are gay?
congratulations, paulistas! you people are awesome for doing such a “protest”! now, brazilian politics remain exactly the same, except that we have a clown in the Congress and we’re a joke for the other countries. things are much better now!
Finally, a politician who admits he’s a clown.
I was thinking that too. Here in the USA, the congressmen and other politicians at least are openly honest about being clowns.
Matt, don’t fall into this trap. Blaming Paulistas is just as stupid as blaming Nordestinos. There are idiots everywhere; in São Paulo, in Brazilian Northeast… Remember, Sarney family is still ruling in Maranhão. Alagoas keeps electing Collor (!) for whatever he runs for!
Hold your horses, man, or donkeys (no prejudice).
well, depois é a gente que tem que ficar escutando coisas como “Ninguém em Brasília presta” ou “deviam jogar uma bomba atômica em Brasília. pega mal pra nossa cidade, e eu fico puto com isso. tá certo que a gente também já cometeu nossas gafes (Roriz e Arruda), mas a gente vota confiando neles, esperando pelo melhor, e não levando as eleições como piada, pq se fosse assim, a gente elegia dona weslian como “protesto”. e quando eu digo “paulistas”, óbvio que não me refiro a todos, e sim àqueles que contribuiram com essa palhaçada (literalmente)…
Don’t know what the big deal is. Here in British Columbia, we elect a clown every 4 years. The same one for the past 3 terms. I don’t see much difference with the U.S. either.
At least this bad ass Brazilian has the balls to come out and admit that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. From that point, it can only get better.
+1 Internet
+2 internet
lol, well, Americans elected David Paterson of New York…doesn’t anyone remember the SNL skits?
We, people, are the real clown.
I’ts true. His name is Tiririca and he wonned being the 2nd most voted here. I’m brazilian and I hate sometimes beeing it.
Wonned?
Beeing?
Seriously, do your English homework before posting feces such as this on English websites….
And for your information, I am Brazilian as well.
Proud to be a Grammar Nazi.
lol, win.
…Grammar Nazi …… that’s a Failoed ou Wooned way of description your “grammar” way of life ?…
(i’m brazilian too, and i’m just joking , ok?… but the “wonned” stuff was really funny)
auhauhahuauhauhaauhahuauh
People from São Paulo state are known for their really bad votes. Besides Tiririca, they also voted Serra, which is much, much worse.
OOOh came on!!! do you really think Dilma will do better? the only thing she will do is please the poor…JUST that…ask her about economics..or foreign/internal debt/affairs….
also, at least serra has a political background…now…what dilma has? she wasnt even known one year ago…
way to go brazil!! way to go
do you think Serra would do a better job?
Oh come on…
Rich people getting richer, and poor people getting poorer…
With Serra, things would be like this for SURE,
With Dilma at least we are not sure.
The reality is, non of them is good.
In this election we voted for the less awfull.
You will stop saying this when you realize that you work 4 months each year just to hold who doens’t work at all… poor ppl needs jobs, education, no free cash for not working….
Why do we think clows are stupid? I met a clown once who struck me as being more intelligent and a lot wiser than most people. Although he tried to teach me to juggle so perhaps he wasn’t so smart.
We don’t think clows are stupid.
This one is.
EXACTLY.
Triste é ver Brasileiros difamando a própria pátria, e em (péssimo) Inglês. No lugar de ficar dizendo que sentem vergonha do pais, vão ficar num pais que não lhes dá boas vindas, e ficarão pagando pau pra eles. A melhor coisa que fizeram foi ou será sair do Brasil, pois não precisamos de envergonhados da pátria.
It’s pretty sad to see a clown in congress, but nothing beats stupid Brazilians who bad mouth their own country when it needs them the most. What does it take, Mr Leno, to get Brazilians to pin a flag on their chest? Please, tell us.
why can’t I be embarrassed? I try and try but I can never find a single reason to be proud. carnaval, samba, rio de janeiro, the joy of being stupid and voting for someone like tiririca, it disgusts me and ashames me. so instead of trying to make the rest of the world like my country and saying it’s great, I say what I think: it’s s**tty. I want to get out of here as soon as I can, and, trust me, I’ll be way better off living in Europe, amazed by the beauty and history and people, and being ashamed of my origins than you, living here and luuuuvin’ the heat and the dirty people and streets and the awful and loud music.
Actually, this just proves that brazilian political system is extremly democratic and complex. Whats the problem of him being a clown? What should concern everybody is the fact that he may be ileterate.
He was elected. So what?Blame some dumbass electors not the entire population. Anyway that means nothing. He will have no active voice in the congress.We vote for candidates, but what really matters is the parties’ votes in congress. Which is ruled by the president in agreement with the parties’ leaders.
Its great to hear ppl that claim themselves “brazilians” talking bad about “their” country…”Brazil is carnaval, samba, loud music and dirty streets”..really? I guess they forgot to mention the monkeys as well…Morons
PS: The brazilian educational system is weak only for those lazy ppl who dont study enough to be admitted in the public higher educational programs
I’m not ashamed of being brazillian, but that doesn’t mean that electing Tiririca wasn’t stupid.
And about your “P.S”: If everyone would study really hard there wouldn’t as many spots to be filled in the advanced public educational system.
Well, brazil is filled with good people and smart people also, but it’s has been crawling with stupidity, don’t get me wrong, i love my country, and i aways tell my friends here in south korea about how nice it is, but when it comes to politics and some of our so called culture, i just don’t know where to hide my face, it’s so embarrassing that everytime i tell someone i’m a brazilian they end up making a coment about the brazilian carnival, with half naked women ( sometimes more than that ), so yeah, brazil is a nice country overall, but it still fails at politics, but you know what? which country doesn’t?
comment*
Many bad guys were not reelected, we can afford a clown, it´s cheaper than a corporate gangster.
Education is not doing it these same things.
so I’m using a translator to write this!
Brazil will
A educação não anda la essas coisas mesmo.
tanto que eu estou usando um tradutor pra escrever isso!!!
dale Brasil
Então pelo menos aprende a usar um tradutor direito… Expressões como “andar lá essas coisas” não são reconhecidas, e a frase ficou sem sentido em inglês. Ah, e a palavra “dale” sequer existe…
Could be worse: “The education is not walking those things really”
hehehehehehe
this should be on engrishfunny
Brazil is going down.
Dilma Roussef have conection with FARC the drugdealers of South America
Lula da Silva is friend of so many dictators in the world
Tiririca paid to pass at the literacy test
Soon well pass by a civil war to get back democracy
Buulllllls**tttt !
double bulls*t
Triple Bullsh*t!
Agreed!
Our country is going straight to the hole cuz people dont use their brain. None of em would be good, I dont think with Serra would be different either.
1,3 million of people give their vote to Tirirca, that means now we have the correct number of retards at this city.
Brazilian politicy = big game of interests.
And yes, unfortunatly this is real !!
Bulls**t. Raoni, you should go back to Sting world tours.
Now if we can pass this requirement in America, the Democrats would get their majority back.
Well… If it was a matter of protest voting, I would prefer to elect a clown who reads poorly than a Tea Party member with a Ivy League PhD degree…
What worried me in these elections was the power that the Catholic Church had over the candidates, who were so afraid of losing votes they were pretty much forced to back pedal and change their views on human rights issues, such as abortion.
the cake is a lie…
And the poor cube had to die for it.
Clowns in congress is hardly news.
Oh Yeah!
Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate but wages war on the world yet a Clown has to prove he can read and write.
Now: All a U.S. President does is sign things (stenographers and short hand secretairies do all the rest) U.S. Presidents only need to be able to sign their name and do what they’re told..
Blind people can’t read print…Deaf people can’t hear hours of political blame sharing, waffle and repartee. Both are capable of intelligent decisions.
Given the choice I think I’d go for the Clown as he is the least likely to have signed a pact with the devil.
A clown that can’t read or right being elected for congress?
Sounds like something out of The Simpsons (Krusty the clown anyone?)
Yeah, but Krusty can still read and write… Grumpy can’t even sign his own freaking name!
The problem is quite serious. The note states that 10 % of the population is iliterate, therefore those people are deprieved of their right to be elected. We should put aside the fact that this guy is a clown, and start taking this sort of discrimination more seriously. This kind of constitutional device (the literacy clause) is a reminder of the efforts made by Brazilian elites to prevent common people to get to power. Until mid 80′s iliterates were not allowed to even vote. Lula’s election (and terrific administrations) was just one step in a much longer journey.
How are we going to expect somebody to make good use of their power if they can’t read and write? Work on making that 10% of illiteracy a lower number, rather than changing political policies that avoid people who can’t read and write to make decisions on behalf of the population.
Being Hi is great!
Brazillian here: Each country with the congress it deserves…
Brazil, once more making headlines around the world. Being Brazilian is tough, you guys!
The politic in our country is so ridiculous that we voted for a clown.
What does that tell you?
The one thing that ruins our coutry is that.
queria só dizer pra estes gringos pegarem na minha benga.
Fui
đây là brazil, quê hương của ronie :X
this is brazil, home of ronie
Someone should make Bill Frist take a literacy test!
Well… what can I say? I live in a country of dumb people. I thought it was funny when he was just a candidate, but when I saw that people actually voted for him, oh boy!
Don’t be ashamed, Brazil!
Be proud!
We did away with literacy tests, and we’ve elected hundreds upon hundreds of clowns to our Congress.
I am ashamed to be Brazillian too. He is an comedian from TV, a type of clown.
And he is bring with him a good quantity of corrupts. If someone has an atomic bomb, please, send to me. PLEASE!!
At least this politician ADMITS he’s a clown.
paulistas voted him? how many northeast people do you want that live and vote in são paulo?
Good point, alas.
This idiot actually wrote “vote-getter.”
How about requiring a literacy test before allowing someone to write an article for AP?
The worst thing is… he’s not the one only clown we have in politics… but the only one assumed…
the worst part is: i’m brazilian and i watched the whole thing and the whole information is true, not a single lie ‘–
the fail here is that the name of the clown in english would be WEED… Brazil just followed california by electing a TV Clown!
The great problem, just to you know, is that the votes in Tiririca elected another 4 of the same party, due to some twisted election rules we have here. Some of these 4, already known as corrupts.
Well at least they don’t hid the clowns.. we have a bunch of clowns in the US but they hide.. good for Brazil
I don’t think u guys get the point. The guys is actually a clown, he worked on a circus and on the TV. This is the only time i have ever been ashamed of being Brazilian, and because of dumb people.
Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KbK8RkYlvE
and then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Iwkv9PBDY
Go on, laugh at Brazil, because thats what the people want.
carnaval clown with t*ts
If at least he were funny
hell yeah i voted for grumpy, grumpy for president!
Existem vários tipos de palhaços:
1-os europeus que riem da eleição do Tiririca enquanto suas economias geridas por não-palhaços estão à beira da falência,
2-figuras caricatas como Sarkozy, “rainha da Inglaterra”, “rei da Espanha”, a Duquesa da Cornualha…
3-os americanos que tiveram por oito anos uma figura circense chamada George Bush (mass destruction weapons) na presidência, motivo diário de chacota nacional e internacional. Sem falar no hilário Bill Clinton que passou o charuto (não é gíria) na estagiária Lewinsky em plena Casa Branca,
4-os “spell checkers” de plantão, verdadeiros corretores ortográficos humanos que, na falta de algum comentário que valha, ficam varrendo o blog atrás de erros de digitação e gramática,
5-os brasileiros que escrevem em Inglês no failblog e todos, coitadinhos, morrendo de vergonha do episódio. Se estão fora do Brasil, não passam de mais um cubano enchendo o saco dos gringos e tomando seus sub-empregos,
6-o promotor do caso Tiririca, mais interessado nos holofotes da mídia que em outra coisa. Em vez de brinquinho na orelha ele poderia pendurar uma melancia no pescoço que daria mais resultado…
Tiririca é um peixe muito pequeno em um oceano infestado de tubarões como Sarney, Collor, Renan Calheiros, José Dirceu, Antonio Palloci, sem contar as novas figuras que aparecerão no governo da “prisidenta”.
We don’t speak african.
De Tiririca para Maurício Lopes:
“Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-pa.”
