SÃO PAULO, Brazil — The citizens of Brazil have taken to the streets to demand wide-sweeping changes from their government. All you have to do is look at their signs to find out what they want.

While many have called for the impeachment of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, São Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin and Mayor of São Paulo Fernando Haddad, others have gotten a bit more creative. Some of the signs seen on the streets of South America's largest city can be seen in the photos above, but here are a few others that were particularly outside the box.
