Here in Brazil the mascot of the Income Tax is a Lion, it's of an old ad campaign the government ran, comparing taxes with lions and saying "the lion is tame".

- marcosdumay 7y agoIt's because of an old popular joke in that the government is a lion that will always take a lion-sized bite from your income. It's really an old joke. On any reference I have ever found, no matter how old, the joke is already old and the readership is expected to know it.

I wonder what other countries tuck these kinds of harmlessly blatant humor in similarly unexpected places. It's nice.
