I can't help but notice the more a society takes Carnival season seriously the more a **** hole it is. I am glad this hedonistic nonsense is only restricted to New Orleans in the US.

Yeah...and the fact that it is based on the religious calendar makes it all the more insulting.

I know them sweat hawgs stank!

I thought there was supposed to be a beautiful aspect to this...hell, I've raised Spotted Poland China sows that looked better than them and didn't sweat as much, either.

You got that right. No wonder the Nazis fled to Argentina instead after the War.

Well, if you simply must have an "elite school," why not teach the samba?

Still, lots of seriously not-guilty dancers pictured.

I’m not seeing much joy there.

I’m amazed at what went into it; the costumes and floats.

Some floats look like they were inspired by Pokemon

With Rio at Carnival time, there is just not enough ways to say “excessive”.

I’m 77 ... so lots of memories. But my ONE night in RIO during Carnival is probably my favorite memory. Seeing it is great ... but hearing/seeing it is just unbelievable. (Oh what a night!)
