Carnival in Rio 2005

As much as we like to think that Mardi Gras in New Orleans is the ne plus ultra as far as public displays of flesh are concerned, we have to admit that our domestic celebrations can't really compare to the ones in Rio in that regard. Never having been to Brazil ourselves, we can't say whether spectators have to contend with the same kind of drunken crowds and amount of puke on the sidewalks in their pursuit of naked boobage as we do here—let's hope not all Carnival traditions are the same everywhere it's celebrated.
