Thanks to loyal Brazilian tipster Romeo, who may or may not attend the festival depending on whether his dog is out fighting crime that morning or not.
Mar 1 2009 PEW PEW?: Man Holds Woman Hostage For Ten Hours With Original SEGA Light-Phaser
That's right folks, a Brazilian man held a 60-year old woman hostage for ten whopping hours with a Sega Master System Light Phaser. Captain PEW was looking to collect on an unpaid debt, and things got 8-bitty when the lady refused to pay.
The Light Phaser, the light gun that shipped with the Sega Master System, must be fairly common in Brazil, considering how incredibly popular the 8-bit console was in the country--it was one of Sega's strongest markets.
Fortunately, the man released his hostage, unharmed, after negotiating with police.
Well thank goodness there was no shootout! Because one time a friend tried to PEW PEW me with a NES Zapper and I was given no choice but to jam it up his ass, cord and all. Suffice it to say, Duck Hunt = awkward.

Sep 4 2008 Showing Off: How Not To Win A Fight
This is how not to win a Capoeira fight. It really got me thinking -- If I'm ever in a real fistfight, I'm pretty confident my opponent will break me like the pasty little Eloi that I am. Unless, of course, I happen to be packing a taser and don't deep fry my own scallops trying to get it out of my pocket.
Thanks to Ian, who once punched a guy back to the future.
Jun 19 2008 Worst Ferrari Owner Ever
So some Ferrari owner in Brazil crashed his 2000 360 Modena into some other car. Then -- at a later date -- had to push it around town because it was out of gas. Not surprisingly, it turns out the dude hadn't been paying his taxes and fines for the car either. Which makes him the worst Ferrari owner ever. While most owners treat a Ferrari like their baby (one that wasn't an accident), this guy treats his like a redheaded stepchild.
A bunch more pictures of the damage, him pushing it through the streets, and a screenshot of the car's tax sheet after the jump. Anybody that wants to shed more light on the article feel free to, my Portuguese is limited (and I'm dumb as shit).
Jan 9 2008 Pac-Man Shoes Are Hand Painted, Brazilian
Need the perfect footwear to go with your Pac-Man Hoodie? How about these spiffy little numbers? While details are iffy at best, allegedly a boutique in São Paulo may or may not be selling them. The name of the store is thekalaka and it looks like a punk store of sorts. Anybody down there that can provide some more information? At any rate, you could get a pair of white canvas shoes and paint them yourself if you have skills with the brush, and if you do please make me a Zelda pair. I've been dying for a pair of Zelda shoes for, well, nearly two sentences now.
Another picture of the shoes after the jump.
