Another welcome first

He stops from time to time to look at the sex work photocopy ads glued to the pay phones in Downtown Rio. One actually shows the hard cock of a shemale. The photo is small but it looks uncensored. He thinks it's good news that the ads are more explicit. He even sees one with a man in leather shorts. That is another welcome first. Men doing sex work ads on pay phones. Nice. He thinks about an artist friend that wanted to do some work using sex work ads as a theme. Next morning on the bus to his office he sees a huge graffito in capital letters saying FUCK NORMALITY. He figures someone was feeling oppressed by some majority and decided to sort of shout back in disapproval. He wonders if the majority of cariocas that don't speak english will get it anyway. Maybe using a translator online. He looks up and wonders if the weather will stay fine and dry until he gets back home tonight.
