In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for example, there was Profeta Gentileza (literally translates as "Profet Kindness") who was a small entrepreneur during the 50s. After 1961, when he was in his early 20s, he abandoned every material posession he had to only dedicate himself to a spiritual mission. He lived in the streets of Rio as a nomad for about 35 years wearing a long, potato bag type of gown, rocking a long Jesus beard, reaching out to the public by spreading messages of kindness and christian love. He would paint random words on the walls of downtown Rio and at other sites that have now become hot spots because of him. This year will be the 10th anniversary of his death.

Now, meet Frank Chu:

The other day while reading some blog, I learned about this other great personality - Frank Chu. He's a famous San Francisco eccentric that walks around the Bay area with signs composed of puzzling combinations of words and made-up terms, all surrounding the theory of the 12 galaxies. He protests 7 days a weeks, sun up to sun down, and his main mission is to spread the word on how Bill Clinton owes him about 25 billion dollars for a sort of "Truman Show" in which he is the star, that is shown all over the solar system with amazing success. He also wants to sue the CIA for not paying him and his family as movie stars, and he also claims that it has been discovered that all the years that he was medicaded in the past were the result of medical malpractice by psychiatrists connected to the CIA. This video can show you better than I could ever explain - believe me, you will thank me later.
