Giveaway: Because I Love You All!

Because I love you all, I will be having the best giveaway ever. This giveaway comes with a quick little story of two friends. A very good friend and I have always had a contest as to who can bring back the tackiest gift from a trip abroad. She currently holds the title for bringing me a stuffed toad keychain and a kangaroo testicles bottle opener.

Anyway, I saw this and thought of her. While lovely it just doesn't beat kangaroo testicles, but it is perfect for my readers. Tacky with a touch of ridiculous all while having a logo representing Rio de Janeiro. It was love at first sight.

A Christ the Redeemer nail clipper. I mean, what home doesn't need this?! And when you think it can't get any better...

You open it and see that it is also a bottle opener. I think this is exactly what Jesus was hoping for when he turned water into wine, a nail clipper/bottle opener in honor of a statue in his honor. Doesn't get much better than this folks.

And since this such an awesomely random item, I'm giving it away to you. I feel it's small enough that I won't get totally screwed with shipping so the world is this clipper/opener's oyster. Anyone can apply to have this badboy.

Also, in case you didn't notice, it's also a keychain. That way you can take your Christ the Redeemer nail clipper and bottle opener with you everywhere.

I know. You are welcome.

Pink Jesus?

Being the statement maker that the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro is, he lit himself up in pink on Tuesday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In other news, Caricoas stormed Christ statue looking for what they thought was the coolest funk party location yet. 

Poland vs Rio: Round 1

Oh those Polish. Trying to be bigger than Brazilians.  Really, this is a Polish joke just waiting to happen.

So they have built their own Christ statue and it is bigger than the one in Rio de Janeiro. And by the way, it does not count if the French didn't give it to you.  All monuments in the form of human figures have to come from the French. I really couldn't tell you why but it's just how it's done. 

But in all seriousness, the Polish people have donated their hard earned cash to pay for this huge statue in the middle of nowhere.  It's a pilgrimage destination... I'm not sure about that last one.  I'd much rather pilgrimage my ass over to Rio to see a big old Christ. Then again, there's a lot less temptation in a Polish field than on a Rio de Janeiro Mountain. 

Here's the link to the report on BBC. This isn't the actual title but I do feel it's much better than theirs:
