Brazil’s Politicians Channel Superheroes
While here in the United States politicians tend to hide their goofy side, in Brazil, it’s a whole other situation. There, politicians have no problem channeling their inner superhero to court voters. Via the New York Times, there an auditor flies through the air like Superman, shooting laser beams from his eyes while using font last seen in He-Man. The candidate for a Catalão City Council seat dressed as Spider-Man and vanquished scoundrels in striped prison uniforms with well-aimed body blows.
This is all a move to cut through and grab voters’ attention. With over 20 political parties, you need to do whatever you can I guess.
If only our elections were this entertaining.
