A photo from the Denver Post website, in a collection called Policing the Slums of Rio de Janeiro. The caption reads: “A young girl stands in a shopping cart in the poverty ridden City of God favela, or slum, on December 2, 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.”
Not sure what to say about this really, just two observations:
(1) the photos ride under a banner ad for the job of Police Chief in Grand Junction, Colorado (it pays $120,000 if you’re interested)
(2) if I had a pound for every use of the phrase ‘poverty-ridden’ on that page I could… well I’d have quite a lot of pounds.
Thanks (I think) to @henrymullen for the link.
