Nude Carnival Queen, Viviane Castro, Bodypaints Obama On Her Leg (NSFW PHOTO, VIDEO)

*Scroll down for photo and video*

SAO PAULO — A Brazilian carnival queen famous for her skimpy attire is grabbing headlines again for painting President Barack Obama's face on her body.

Viviane Castro paraded nearly nude early Saturday with the U.S. leader's visage on her right thigh. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's face was on her left thigh.

Castro's stomach read "for sale" _ a message she said represented the sale of Brazil's Amazon to the U.S. Many here fear the U.S. wants to control the resource-rich region.

Castro appeared in last year's Rio Carnival parade wearing nothing but a strategically placed piece of tape 1 1/2-inches (4-centimeters) long , violating a little-enforced nudity rule and drawing a penalty for her samba group.

She wore the same patch this year.

And we get weird about a miniscule nipple shot of Beyonce. Next year, let the Carnivale folks host the oscars. More than the ratings would be UP

nice to see a culture that appreciate­s women who are not all elbows, knees and ribs, huh?

Glad someone was reading my posts. LMAO!

I didn't know this when I first started posting but I saw her last year at Carnaval. This picture didn't remind me of her at first. But I certainly did remember her from 2008!

I was hanging on the fence, right at the edge of the parade in the Sambadrome­. I looked down briefly to fix my own cute little costume and then looked up. There she was coming right at me. An iridescent Goddess of Power with absolutely nothing on but her sexuality. OMG! As a comfortabl­e hetero woman I've never experience­d the sensation.

I advise all to go to Carnaval in Rio. Like Muslims having to go to Mecca. Or the Bucket List idea. Gotta go at least once before you die or you haven't lived.

Should we read anything into the fact that the author of the article can't tell Left from Right?

She's just like the White House. No Bush and people suddenly like her.

I think she's somewhat well known in Brazil.

Yes, she is. She appeared nude except for iridescent spray paint at last year's Carnaval in Rio. She made quite a sensation, but her Samba School lost points because she broke the rules. She's a great dancer! The rack is real.

Alright.
Yes, Ms. Castro looks spectacula­r.
Yes, she has fantastic thighs.
But, as a number of HuffPoster­s (particula­rly the tireless 'jozinha') have attempted to point out, Obama's index finger, culminatin­g in a flame, clearly extends to Ms. Castro's lower abdomen - depicting a rain-fores­t.

Yes, she's a spectacula­rly built women - but please try to read the political subtext.
Like, without the libido.

You are kidding, right?

You actually believe her goal is to make a political statement. ROFLMAO!!

Now samba girl... samba!!!

Yeah, in some cultures, people don't go totally insane over a naked breast. Not saying that they don't appreciate them, but they aren't repressed like Americans. It is possible to combine the two things in a humors way (think of political cartoons in which the statue of liberty depicts the U.S., this is the same idea, except it's a real woman. Justice has a bare breast, and I think that some of the other female anthropomo­rphisms of American values are or have been depicted that way as well.

I'm just saying that it's possible for some people to see both aspects of this, and I'd be lying if I said I haven't looked back at this photo quite a lot for non-politi­cal reasons.

You are kidding, right?

You actually believe that a painting of Obama pointing towards a rainforest with flames on his finger ISN'T a political statement?

Preach it girl, preach it! I love the mix of sexuality, art, dance, and political speech.

I've been posting that for days. Are you kidding! No one cares. Start laughing. It's worth a good laugh.

I tried to point it out, too :) But I think that the text becomes invisible to many a hetro male eye.
