This is work safe.
My bro sent me this. It's a video of a show in Brasil. The theme here is that they are by a reputedly "haunted" graveyard late at night. The host has decided to place a robotic skeleton on a moped with a speaker, then drive it by unwary pedestrians. Enjoy!
Mostly what the skeleton says:
"Hey you, need a ride to hell?!? Need passage to hell? Come back! Don't run we're all going to hell..."
Check out the rest of the site, there's loads of funny stuff amongst the garbage.
Pretty funny. I doubt you could get away with that here. Too many ambulance chasers would line up for lawsuits...especially when they scared the homeless guy.
Wow.
I just watched that video.... What a riot.
They probably couldn't do a video in this country that scared people that bad..
Check out this video.
Talk about a haunted graveyard.
I would love to know what he was saying. The guy sleeping on the sidewalk looked a bit like looter guy.
Pingao Martin and Nicollo - Enjoy!
My early translation was bad, didn't sleep much last night. But when the skeleton approached the people the "Hey you..." part is fairly spot on.
I saw loads of homeless on my fisrt trip, it's not uncommon in a medium/large city to find them sleeping in the streets. In Rio, I saw thousands one visit only to here they had been either relocated or murdered for the Earth conference two years later. Many Brasilians don't think of them as human, at least in my discussions with some of them. Particularly those who have been affected by crime via the homeless.
Looter guy? Probably. He's already in hell for certain.
Maybe I just lack imagination, but wouldn't your first question be "Why would the reanimated remains of a human elect to roam the afterlife on a Moped with training wheels?"
It is to ¡ L Õ L !
I don't think this would scare Americans at all.
Very funny stuff
Thanks
You're both correct, but in Brasil, they have Macumba and Camdomble as prominent religions. Similar and as intense as the Haitian or Cuban variety of Voodoo religions. It is deeply interwoven with Catholicism in many areas, particularly NorthEastern Brasil.
And by their standards, the walking dead isn't such a stretch.
Sometimes pragmatisim has its rewards.
