Cancelled: Holocaust float and Hitler samba dancer

A judge in Brazil has quashed a plan for a Holocaust float that was to be used at Carnival. It's hard to believe anyone thought this was a good idea in the first place. There's a photo to go along with this story, and it's fairly gruesome. USA Today:

A Brazilian judge has banned a controversial Carnival float that depicted Holocaust victims and was to be accompanied by a samba dancer dressed as Adolph Hitler.

The creators said the float was a protest against genocide, but judge in Rio de Janeiro backed a complaint from the Jewish community, saying the festival "cannot be used as a tool in the cult of hate or for any form of racism ... or for the banalization of barbaric events."
