Krusty.

An illiterate Brazilian clown has won a seat in Congress with more votes than any other candidate. He received 1,353,355 votes while the next best-supported politician only received around 694,000.

This makes me seriously doubt the intelligence of 1,353,355 Brazilian people.

    POLITICAL SATIRE BECOMES REALITY

    Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva – known by the clown name Tiririca, which means “grumpy” – received more than 1.3 million votes, more than double that of the next closest candidate, Reuters reported Monday.

    Tiririca ran for a congressional seat in Sao Paulo state, the nation’s most populous, using the campaign slogan “It can’t get any worse.” He offered no promises other than reporting back to constituents how their representatives spent their time.

    “What does a congressman do? The truth is I don’t know, but vote for me and I’ll tell you,” he said in campaign advertisements.

    Public prosecutors had tried to prevent the clown from running because of “evidence that he is illiterate,” Reuters said.

    Tiririca appeared at public events wearing a blond wig and silly outfit.
