Brazil: This is what's left after the World Cup

“Pichação” is the punk brother of graffiti. Pichadores don't want to make art, they want to shock, to

vandalize. It's made to be ugly and agressive. In Brazil it was born in São Paulo and their main

influence was the typography of punk rock and heavy metal band logos. Although it is illegal, it's

the most current cultural expression in the brazilian streets. It's possible to see “pichações”

everywhere, even at the top of the highest buildings. As its made to protest, recently brazilian

“pichações” have found a new target: the World Cup.

“Dilma (the brazilian president) stick the World Cup in your ass”

“World Cup is my balls *LOL”

“Fuck off the World Cup, Pelé, Fifa and the shemale lover (Ronaldo)”

“Fifa get out”

“World Cup for whom?”
