Brazil Unknown

Another publicity campaign has generated racial offenses in social networks. The company Santher, decided to disclose a line of black toilet paper, the first of its kind to be sold in Brazil. The campaigner said he thought of an action that would value black as a symbol of elegance and refinement. The actress Marina Ruy Barbosa was called to be the poster girl, wrapped in a paper dress next to a luxury black roll, she was photographed by the photographer Bob Woodward. The problem was the hashtag used to advertise the product on social networks: #BlackisBeautiful. The term demonstrates the implicit racism of the association between the act of using a toilet paper and the black color. It may not have been the intention of the agency, but the public in social networks has already demonstrated against the brand.

The tragedy occurred in the city of Janaúba, in the interior of Minas Gerais. Altogether there were 10 deaths: 8 children, 1 teacher and the watchman, who set fire to himself, in the students and caused the fire that resulted the tragedy. The Minas Gerais State Attorney's Office (MPMG) has opened three inquiries and a procedure to investigate the fire. One of the objectives is to verify the watchman, Damião Soares dos Santos, had psychological problems. Around 9 o'clock on Thursday, the guard entered the school, threw flammable material against the children and into his own body, and set it on fire, which quickly spread. In the midst of the tumult, people tried to extinguish the fire with buckets of water and rescue the victims of the flames, without success.

A driver hit a man and drove for about 100 meters with his body attached to the car in Osasco, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. Check out the video in the tweet of the Band News portal.

At first glance, it may seem like a joke. But it's not. On the 17th of this month, the Massarandupió beach, a refuge of naturists in the interior of Bahia, was the scene of the event "Forró Nu". The poster (featured picture), in which all people appear without clothes, promised "gifts, play and sexual freedom." In addition to paying a ticket of BRL 80 (more ou less USD 25) for each couple, the other requirement of the event is that everyone would be without clothes. The event has very clear rules. Only couples can enter, sex in public is prohibited and the presence of children is prohibited. One of the organizers of the event ensures that the prom attracted people from other states: "We have many clients from various states, including from Rio de Janeiro, looking for us," said the organizer, before pointing out that no one can have sex at the party. "Forró Nu is an event that follows the code of ethics, which does not allow for publ...

In a small town in the interior of Brazil, an alderman fell into the joke of "whatsapp's groan". During a discussion of a new law, in the Town Hall of Votorantim (SP) on Tuesday (15), municipal councilman Bruno Martins, was a victim of the famous trick. Not realizing that the sound of the cell phone was on, the councilman was surprised by the sound of "a big female groan" which echoed through the auditorium of the hall where the meeting was being held.  Watch the video: Who stayed very revolted, was municipal councilman Adeilton Tiago dos Santos, who at the moment was talking about increasing his own salary.

This isn't the first time this thing happened, but it's no less absurd. A client of Cariacica, in Espírito Santo, was called "Chorona" (crybaby) in the invoice of the telephone account of the company Vivo. The lastname of Sônia was changed to "Chorona" with the words "Do not return anything", possibly referring to claims and requests for compensation made by the client. In an interview with a local radio, the woman said that she complains "every month" of the bad services of the company. This would have been the second time the insult was added in the telephone account. After this case and being mistreated by telephone in the last contact with the costumer service, she has already called a lawyer and started a lawsuit.

A resident of the city of Caceres, Mato Grosso, went to the police station to register a bulletin of occurrence (BO) against his wife for recurring betrayals.   In the record, he says that he has already witnessed several betrayals and that he even caught his wife in bed with another man. The man also said that he tried to contain the betrayal by damaging the woman's bicycle so she would not leave the house.   The document was classified as "atypical nature", which isn't considered a crime by the police. The complainant should to appear at the police station later this week to explain the offensive terms that were used in the description of the fact. There is no information on the names of those involved in the case.
