You remember these guys?Last month the news was all abuzz about photog José Carlos Meirelles' photo of a "lost tribe" on the Brazilian-Peruvian border. Everyone from the AP to CNN to Yahoo! carried the story, amazed at this tribes ability to remain untouched by such a technologically advanced world. Even your very own flyGIRL went to the Portuguese website to take a closer look at the little orange man bravely firing arrows at the low-flying plane in which Meirelles rode. Oh how dumb we all were.
These cats aren't lost. and the photographer that was assured to pick up a Pulitzer? Well that cats a liar.
Apparently this tribe is about as "lost" as Matthew Fox and my boy John Locke because Brazilian authorities have known and interacted with this tribe since 1910. Now the lenser is claiming he only lied to bring more attention to the slaughtering of Brazilian rain forests. Uhh huh.
Oh and the orange dude? That's paint. But the bow and arrow was so serious.
