Ahh...Freaks. Just Good Ole Fashion Freaks

Today it is considered unethical for circuses to put people with disabilities on display purely as curiosities. However, clowns and other circus performers may have short/tall stature, hypertrichosis, or other unique features.

Really, unethical? I think that freaks would be just the kind of draw this economy needs.
