Kid loses hand and part of ass by being an ass

So a 15-year-old got his hand bitten off near Sao Paulo, Brazil. No wait, according to the AP, it was ripped off. He also lost some of his ass.

Let's hear it for Pernambuco state fire department spokesman Marcio Maia for saying it was the kids fault:

"People insist on ignoring the sign posts warning of the danger of shark attacks, especially beyond the coral reefs about 150 meters (490 feet) from the beach," Maia said.

In other news, Brazil's getting pretty nutty with sharks too. I know I watched a shark week special about a particularly bloody rampage down there.

There's plenty of nice things to look at in Brazil, when you're on the beach. You don't have to go in the water to admire all the asses, although if you had goggles. It's a tough one, I know, but sharks are after me, so I'd stick to the beach and wear sunglasses.
