Lifestyles of the Poor and Drug Dealing

Posted by samzenpus on

A Brazilian tour company is in hot water, after it was revealed that it was offering tours of Rio de Janeiro slums, including photos with the local drug gang members. For $55 you get a 4 hour tour of Rocinha, the city's largest slum, including a visit to the "bocas de fumo" where traffickers sell drugs to Rio residents. If you don't want to pay for the flight to Brazil, I will drive you into the slums of Detroit for the same price. Pictures with gang members are at their discretion.

    Are there translators available for the Detroit tour? I'm used to Texas slums.

      Having a gun held to your head is universally understood as a "bad thing".

      See Star Trek for proof. :)
