Poor but posh

Finally, somebody is giving real help to the poor.

But don’t get your hopes up, poor Americans, ’cause it’s happening in Brazil.

In that great South American nation, plastic surgeons have decided to offer free beauty treatments to the economically deprived.

And not just an old tube of lipstick or a half-empty bottle of hair gel. We’re talking chemical skin peels, laser hair removal and even Botox injections.

It’s about time!

There’s nothing worse than being poor and hungry and homeless and looking like hell at the same time.

Finally, the poor can adopt that haughty, sneering look that the rich have perfected.

And since most poor people don’t get enough to eat, they’re already slim and don’t have to diet!

Why hasn’t somebody thought of something this spiffy over here?

Hey, the poor will always be with us.

But if the son-of-a-guns looked better, working folks wouldn’t mind them so much.
