Remote uncontacted tribe spotted for the first time in Brazil, umm or wait, or is it in New Jersey

ONE of the world’s last ‘uncontacted Indian’ tribes has been photographed from the air near the Brazil-Peru border.

The photos were taken by global organisation Survival International, over one of the remotest parts of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil’s Acre state.

Survival’s director Stephen Corry said: "These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist.

"The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct."

There are more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, with more than half living in either Brazil or Peru.

So I first saw this story on the news this morning, and for the last few hours I couldn't get it out of my head that I have seen members of this tribe before. Hmmm... but where. Then in the crapper it hit. These are the douche bags oompa loompa's from New Jersey. Now the only photos from this tribe are aerial shots, so its tough to tell if they have a greasy product in their hair, but the orange skin color is uncanny similar. You be the judge. I am also wondering if the helicopter dropped a empty coke bottle on them.
