Two influencers are dead after refusing to wear lifejackets on a speedboat that sank off the Brazilian coast – because they didn’t want the safety gear to ruin their tan in photos, according to police.

Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, 37, and Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27, ignored pleas to wear their life preservers when an overcrowded boat taking them back to shore from a yacht party capsized in the rough waters of Devil’s Throat along the Iguazu River, according to local reports.

“Some didn’t want to put them on because they were taking selfies,” Sao Vincente Police Commissioner Marcos Alexandra Alfino said, based on testimony by the boat’s captain.

Were any firearms tragically lost in the incident?

Implants are heavier than water, so they don’t float.

How do you get to the age of 37 and know nothing, zero, zip? I’m telling you, social media was created to ultimately kill people. And it’s working just fine!

“ Influencers”? Funny how the English language is devolving. In a saner time in the past, these two would be considered narcissistic skanks.......”

Yes.

Influencer is euphemism for salesman or pitchman.

They sell things on the internet.

Being single and female is a clue. Unless they have a father, or husband or boyfriend to mansplain things to them, they are a walking disaster waiting to accomplish its mission.

Who wrote this? “Viscous waves.”

And the concern for tanning and refusal to wear life jackets did not occur when the boat capsized but before.

Definitely. Men are important. Only feminists and commies don’t agree

Let’s see now. An overcrowded speed boat, in rough water in a place called Devil’s Throat. I don’t need no stinking life jacket. It might obscure my beautiful breasts. I hope they didn’t influence many people.
