Proving that Brazil doesn’t have a First Amendment:
A Brazilian comedian has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison for telling offensive jokes.
Offensive, or really fucking funny? I report, you decide:
“What show could be more inclusive? I even hired a sign language interpreter just to be able to offend the deaf-mute.”
And my absolute favorite:
“I’m totally against pedophilia – I’m more in favor of incest. If you’re going to abuse a child, abuse your own. What’s he going to do? Tell his dad?”
Apparently, the audience roared with laughter all through his set. The authorities? Not so much. He’s facing eight years in the clink.
To which I say: “Libertem Léo Lins!“
Were the authorities all named Karen?
