I was thinking about writing something about the wacky candidates in this year's elections in Brazil, but BBC was faster than me and published this story. It says pretty much what I had in mind...

Complementing this article, another thing from Tiririca's campaign that has drawn considerable criticism is a brochure that has been distributed mainly for kids. In this brochure he uses pictures to explain what he will fight for once elected and uses many of his memorable 'slapstick' lines. It is in Portuguese but you can have one idea of its content and how it looks like.
So, too much democracy or a revealing portrait of Brazilian Politics?
