Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, a 45-year old illiterate Brazilian man best known for his portrayal of Tiririca the clown, just won a place in Brazilian Congress with more than 2x the votes as the next closest candidate. JOKES: YES WE CAN.Tiririca caught the attention of disillusioned voters by asking for their support with the humorous slogan: "It can't get any worse" and a promise to do nothing more in Congress than report back to them on how politicians spend their time.
"What does a congressman do? The truth is I don't know, but vote for me and I'll tell you," the 45-year-old said in his campaign advertisements.
Ah yes, it's a great day to be Brazilian, isn't it? Yes, just like every other day. Those women got ass for days weeks. Some even months! Next order of business: bulletproofing a clown car.

fucking awesome!!!!
this reminds me of the guy in california who set up an award and medal for a serial killer. submitting it to their congress just to show that our law makers aren't actually reading the laws they're passing... it passed giving a serial killer the award and plaque (though he's actuall been dead for a while).
