Some of these people had medical defects. But they got to travel and see things and places for free that we work our asses of and still can't afford to see.
This is weird but, the music, the clothes, the antique environment, the freaks all those stuff just gets me fascinated, like if I wanted to be part of that you know? Am I going mad?
And those pinheads laughed all the way to the bank...side shows were the only employment that these folks could get. They were well cared for and most could have left if they wanted to, but chose not to. I didn't dig the tiger abuse tho'.
The scary thing is, someday in the future someone will be saying they wish things could be like the good ol days of the 2009 era. Moral: THESE ARE THE GOOD OL DAYS!!!! Enjoy em.
@RosesforThorns1 I guarantee it will happen. Why? Because things are just going to get worse. Overpopulation will put stress on EVERYTHING. I bet in the not too distant future we will be saying "I remember when we had plenty of fresh water. Now its almost gone." Yep, look at history and learn. Thinge never get better over time (for us on earth), they just get worse. Crime, poverty, economy, etc. These days are much better than what we have to look forward to. YIKES!
If you want to see "freaks" its a movie made in 1932 called FREAKS which has actual circus freaks playing circus freaks... (kinda inappropriate word if you ask me)
it got banned/pulled from theaters just about everywhere, google it
Wow! I do remember these short features from way back when. Never made it to Coney Island, but my parents first took me to Ocean View when I was 6, in 1950. To a 6 year old, it was the most awesome thing on the planet, and the freak shows were WEIRD. I think the last time I was there was around '70, and it hadn't really changed much.
that was cool ...what an innocent time ...it looked like those roller coasters did not even have a seat belts then ....big tuck and roll leather wood carts.....haha !
Am I in the weird part of youtube again?
