And what do you consider worse? :P
Honestly, I'm surprised other nations didn't do this... but then again... Brazil met my expectations of people (in general). Congratz! :P

Oh, shame on us :/ But not all the Brazilians are like this, we have better people, I mean, I HOPE we have.

Fast. It's free. Eat it. Doesn't matter you ruin it while grabbing it.
Kinda reminded me of what I saw behind shopping center, when McDonalds employees threw "old" burgers into a trash and large group of hobos started to kill each other while rolling in trash and eating the burgers along with papers and other crap.
But don't ask goverment to fix the mentality of people. You don't want goverment to controll every step people do and how people think. Not more than goverments already do.

Actually I watched that video and came away with the impression that it was just a bit of fun. That it was meant to be like that. A free for all plus maybe a cake fight?
Couple of interesting things I noticed. In the Canadian and Indonesian examples, there were staff cutting up the cake and handing it out to the public.
Would we have seen similar scenes if the same happened at that event in Brazil? Is there a reason why there was no staff there to control the crowd and dish out the cake?

That is a very disturbing statement. I think it indicates the attitude at the root of the problem.
"The government" is not some mysterious being that is supposed to be your nanny.

I mean, the government doesn't make any campaign to make the citizens to care about the public things and preserve it.
edit:
Also if something is free the public tend to get it only for himself and doesn't care with sharing even if he doesn't needs it.
