Brazil's sex trade: How the country's one million prostitutes are preparing for the World Cup

Only a small part of the preps: Prostitutes are taking English lessons.. Limo services being offered.. Apparently one dental student will earn $5000 for giving ‘exclusive attention’ to a German businessman for two weeks.

The INDEPENDENT reports further:

In one zona, Santo stops continually to chat with the younger girls who stand at the doors of their rooms. “Those girls when they start, they are too crazy, they start making too much money. They have sex without condoms and sometimes they get boyfriends inside of here and that’s when they get pregnant. Loads work until just before they have babies. As I say, they get crazy. They also fall in love, but with the wrong guys. They could have all the businessmen and they end up marrying a builder. I’m not discriminating but they should see the prostitutes that marry a rich guy. One married a judge and lives in luxury. Another got pregnant by a guy, married him and now has eight maids in her house.” How many actually attain this particular fantasy is unclear.

What’s love got to do with it?

Money to be made.

The World Cup is there..

Brazil's sex trade: How the country's one million prostitutes are preparing for the World Cup

The image you are looking at was taken by the AP of a person in Brazil suffering from xeroderma pigmentosum, or “XP.” It’s a condition in which, for better or worse as a description, people ‘melt away’ ..

The rare disease stops the skin from being able to heal itself from the sun’s rays. 

The AP has more on relatively high amount of people in one village that are suffering from this..

The sleep that defies sleep.. some 'weird' patterns emerge in Brazil, unless it's a hoax or mass hysteria..

Reports of a strange sleep epidemic in Brazil: The complaints relate symptoms such as weakness, malaise, fainting, partial memory loss, and in the worst cases, even hallucinations. All victims, simply, begin to feel an irresistible desire to sleep - and then, they just want to sleep.. 

This was the most bizarre quote from the report on the Brazil sleep disorders:

“Hope Yakimova, residing in the village said: People are falling sleeping suddenly, anywhere. Sometimes, some of them, in the same moment, near one of other, standing or sitting. "

It sounds like a creepy scene from a Stephen King book.. I agree with the DISINFO report, this could be mass hysteria..

It's raining spiders, hallelujah

It did though, in Brazil. Cloudy with a chance of arachnids.
