International update: Brazil
Not exactly the Bloods and the Crypts... Police in Brazil arrested six women from the notorious "gang of blondes." Three more arrests are expected soon...
Police in São Paolo arrested three members of the so-call "gang of blondes" over the weekend, with three more arrests expected soon.
The women, described as bilingual and well educated, have been linked with 54 kidnappings in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro since 2008. Police say the women kidnap female shoppers and max out their credit cards, according to a report from Agence France-Press.
From what I'm told, they started out by kidnapping male shoppers. However, the male shoppers were actually thrilled and tried to return to them after being released.

Illiterate clown elected to Congress in Brazil

What does the ability to read or write have to do with following the will of the special interest groups they represent anyway? The wealthy lawyers and deep pocketed unions will pay someone to read to them and give them crayons to use during their play time. When asked to comment on his plans to improve the economy in Brazil, Grumpy said nothing and honked his horn twice...
