I am outraged, a Holocaust themed float? WTF.

A Carnival float with a pile of model dead bodies commemorating the Holocaust is causing unease before the lavish parades in Rio de Janeiro this weekend.

I am outraged and angered. It is truly disgusting to see this. What is wrong with people. I really, really do not understand what kind of “art” this may be.

I wonder what would happen if we put dead bodies of “Jesus” on that float. I wonder how outraged the Brazilians would be. Anyway, way to disrespect a serious event in the history of man.

From the article: “Viradouro insisted its Holocaust float is not meant to offend anyone.

“The float is extremely respectful, it’s a warning, it’s something shocking that we don’t want to happen ever again,” said Paulo Barros, Viradouro’s artistic director.”

Especially on a parade which most people are “in the mood” to see beautiful floats and see this one. Its very interesting to see their reactions! lol
