Yes, I know. I read the article when it first came out a couple of weeks ago. Simply trying to inject some humor.

Well two of them look as tho they have been tanning for quite a while, there is the one who has been burnt to a crisp, red hurts enough but if I burnt black I think I'd be screaming.

There is some talk out there that this photo is the result of a Government hoax created in an attempt to shore up their campaign to save some of what is left of the rain forest. Anybody have any info on that?

If it's a real deal, I think it was bloody stupid to get that close to them in a helo, it could have a marked impact on their culture. Imagine a UFO settling over NY, then just flying off.

I think one of those guys is wearing a watch.

THE man behind photos of warriors from an "undiscovered" Amazon tribe that were beamed around the world has admitted it was a publicity stunt aimed at raising awareness of logging.

Indigenous tribes expert, José Carlos Meirelles, said the tribe had been known of since 1910, and had been photographed to prove that they still existed in an area endangered by logging, The Guardian reported.
