Why do I need to give my CPF (my unique Brazilian Tax Payer number) or passport number to book a ticket to visit a museum? I wonder… and I wonder if my visit is going to be under scrutiny, just like this illustration…

A few minutes later, as I was thinking about this strange experience
(15 minutes to book a ticket: registering, submiting personal data, not being able to buy ticket until email is confirmed, being told off for not filling my tax number, trying to remember my tax payer number, re-submiting, trying to remember my paypal password, reseting paypal password, eventually buying ticket, and thinking all the way through damn I should do my ICOM card but at least it’s interesting to see what visitors have to go through…), this other picture appeared on my twitter feed…
If there are any coincidences, of course.
Good times are over.
