Alcides Catanho (born January 20, 1972 in Elizabeth, New Jersey) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the New England Patriots and the Washington Redskins. He played high school football at Elizabeth High School and college football at Rutgers University.[1]
After Catanho saw the movie Cocktail in 1988 at a movie theater in Elizabeth New Jersey, he was so depressed that Elizabeth wasn't tropical that he decided to do something about it. So Catanho spray painted thousands of images of Jamaica and Barbados onto all of the highways in and around Elizabeth (using DDT ladened paint) Catanho also painted the roofs of hundreds of buildings around Elizabeth sky blue to match the Caribbean sky. Catanho also rode around Elizabeth for 5 hours a day 4 days a week for almost two years waving a flag out of his car window (as big as the stars and bars flag in Tampa) with hundreds of images of Aruba, Bermuda and the Dominican Republic on it (he was trying to bring the Caribbean to Elizabeth). Catanho even flooded the streets of Elizabeth every week with actual ocean water from off of Dominica.
