What clothes? They look 98% naked to me. They also look like the emperors Royal Guard from Star Wars.

War paint and loin cloths?

I don't think they have clothes, other than something covering their midsection. The color in the photos does make it look like they are clothed, but photo #5 is the closest one and shows that the color of their skin.

Holy Cow, I am suck a tard!!! I looked at it again (face inches from screen) them ppl are almost nekked... I swear, I thought a few had on red clothing and the others, black clothing.
Making an eye appointment today, that is for sure!!!

Okay, taking this another direction. It says "Illegal logging in Peru is threatening several uncontacted groups, pushing them over the border with Brazil and toward potential conflicts with about 500 uncontacted Indians living on the Brazilian side, Survival International said."

Judging by the photos, these people seem pretty well prepared to take on anyone dumb enough to delve into their territory. And if these loggers are illegal, then apparently Peru needs to step up their enforcing of laws.

Guns > arrows

Unconfirmed report that the first words this tribe spoke were translated as "Have they fired Bill Maher yet?"

I thought it sounded more like "have they delivered my Bud Light yet?"

New thought and comment:
Even uncivilized ppl know to "cover" themselves, you'd think teen boys would know to pull up them friggin' pants!!

Drink some Canadian beer, rumour has it they are good.

Geico's new slogan - "So easy even an uncontacted tribe can do it".

If there are uncontacted tribes threatened by logging, then there must have been some contact with them, else we wouldnt know they are there. If a tribe falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it....

Gun or no gun, I wouldn't want to get caught in their "territory".

Good point. And I like how this director guy says the world needs to wake up before these tribes are made extinct. So is he saying they are a different species of animal than humans?

And why were THEY the ones that were uncontacted? Maybe we are the ones who lacked contact with them?

heh... nice... I'm sure they have a note on their message board that they have made contact with one of the previously unreached tribes of humans...

Geesh, can't believe anything anymore can ya?
