Judge bans Holocaust float in Brazil

With Mardi Gras on hand, here's an apropos tidbit from Yahoo(!) news. Viradouro, a samba group from Rio de Janiero, had plans to further their legacy of controversial floats - a list which includes Adam and Eve having sex (banned) and depictions of scenes from the Kama Sutra (also banned). Jewish leaders worldwide were (predictably) incensed. The parade, which is the two-day-long climax of the Carnival celebration, has a history of adult content; it features scantily-clad dancers and the theme this year is "Things That Give You Goose Bumps," so a degree of controversy is to be expected, if not openly encouraged.
