As some of you may know, Carnaval is currently in full swing.
It's just a cesspool of drugs, STDs, stench and death. If people take skis at least they can get exercise sliding on the vomit.

My sister went to Mardi Gras once in New Orleans. Said it was a fairly pathetic excuse for wretched excess.
She has been invited to Carnival in Rio a few times but has been warned not to go.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
Once city even more tough than Rio for Carnaval is Recife. Rape is tolerated. Law enforcement has the attitude that it's part of the risk of attending. The advice among women who attend is make it clear you're not going to resist and likely won't get hurt. Rio is the drug supermarket venue. Heroine, cocaine, meth, and a bunch of stuff I never heard of is openly offered on the street. Again, law enforcement doesn't care. Someone wanting drugs wouldn't think twice about knifing someone for drug money.
