Meanwhile at the Rio Carnival

[malaise]

<snip>
Controversially, one samba school wanted to use a float to portray the naked bodies of holocaust victims.

The Viradouro school said they intended to send a message to the world that this should never happen again.

However, after Jewish leaders took the issue to court and the float was banned.

To show their dismay at this decision, Viradouro used the float to focus on freedom of speech instead.

It carried a group of people with white scarves across their mouths, and a banner which proclaimed "You can not build a future by burying history." Another banner stated "Freedom even if it is late."

I think the original float was a warning to humanity. It should not have been banned. Pity they didn't say that the float depicted the victims of Bush's wars.
