World Cup Tourists Take Selfies With Toothy Suarez Ad

An advertisement on Brazil's Copacabana Beach is getting more attention than its creators ever intended. The ad, featuring serial football biter Luis Suarez with the words "all or nothing" in Portuguese, has become a popular spot for World Cup fans' selfies. They're looking for photographic evidence that they, too, have been bitten by the soccer star.
