If you've heard of the show Cash Cab, you can skip this paragraph. It's a game show where the unsuspecting customers get in what they think is a regular New York City cab where they'll pay to get to their destination, but it's the opposite: if they agree to play, the driver takes them to their destination, quizzing them and paying them for being in the cab. If they make it with less than three errors, they can then either take the money or go "double or nothing" on a bonus video question. There is a "three strikes and you're out" rule: if you miss three questions, the cab pulls over right then and there, and you get kicked out wherever the cab is, you don't win any money.
The Brazilian version ads a twist: the cab driver invites street urchins, if they answer the questions correctly they get to keep the money; if they lose, they get kicked out onto the street, then men with machine guns mow them down!

Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
