You may be freezing along with the COED staffers here in the American Northeast, but everybody’s stripping down and celebrating Carnival inRio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Take a look at these pics that cover both the festivities and the aftermath of the Carnival season that’s currently taking over Rio, and enjoy some really bizarre sights. You might also want to keep in mind that the Carnival goes on through February 17th, if you’re really sick of this cold weather in parts of the USA, and just want to escape your frozen environs. New Orleans is more affordable, of course, but anyone looking for a weird time will be swayed by these (mostly) WTF pics…
