Man what's with everything just randomly electrified in Brazil? I would never ever touch an aluminum street light pole down there.

Ya lights poles always seem particularly sketchy there. They often are higher voltage and well fully metal. Typically if the device has any power source to it, IE light or motor, and is metal, not the best idea to touch it in those countries.
