Lost Tribe Found In Amazon, Paparazzi Immediately Dispatched

They’ve found a lost tribe in the rainforest on the Brazil-Peru border who probably weren’t lost, but you know, just avoiding us. This is exciting because it means hippies can make an argument to stop deforestation in the Amazon.

Illegal logging in Peru is threatening several uncontacted groups, pushing them over the border with Brazil and toward potential conflicts with about 500 uncontacted Indians living on the Brazilian side, Survival International said.

“Uncontacted Tribal Wars” sounds like a hot reality show. Just kidding. No one better do that or they’ll have Gabriel’s vibrators to answer to. After the jump, check out a video from the BBC explaining that these people are probably not even immune to a common cold. Which would explain why they are trying to shoot down the paparazzi plane with bows and arrows in that picture.

So when were these tribes found and then lost?

Pobres … man, they are probably freaked the F out? Imagine you’ve never seen a helipcopter & all of a sudden it’s hovering over you. What would you do? I wonder what they’re talking about today? They must be scared to death.

Yes - i’m pseudo-hippie
