Let's Use Condoms, My Love
• Amorous Pop Culture
Cardinal Eusebio Scheid, the archbishop of Rio is upset:
Grande Rio samba school has promised a safe sex parade called Let's Use Condoms, My Love.
Dancers will act out sexual positions from the famous Indian sex guide, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.
School director Joaosinho Trinta said: "This is one of the most original and polemic themes ever and if we get censured we will interpret it as a Nazi act.
"We will have huge sculptures portraying the positions and also the dancers will do the poses as they parade.
Samba parade recreates Kama Sutra
An archdiocese spokesman said on Wednesday the archdiocese was considering asking officials to bring indecency charges against the samba school.
Carnival could be "discredited in front of the world with unacceptable scenes ... indecent images that ruin the party and disturb the peace," the spokesman quoted the archbishop as saying.
Brazil is the world's biggest Roman Catholic country and the Vatican strictly opposes the use of contraceptives.
Grande Rio's Carnival song will promote condom use. The lyrics urge: "Fulfill your desires, kiss me on the mouth, make my dreams real ... but if you want to see me and have me, we must protect ourselves from evil."
