Due to a quirk of Brazilian law, candidates are allowed to run under the name of their choice. As a result, at least six Brazilian politicians have officially renamed themselves "Barack Obama" in a bid to get an edge over their rivals in October's municipal elections.So a politician is black and everyone thinks he looks like Obama? Ricky Gervais says that's racist.
And yes, the raison d'être for this entire post was the title. I was going to go for 'Change You Can Belize In', but that would just...muddy the waters geographically. Nyuk Nyuk.
