The Erie Times News ran an interesting article about why the days of the classic carny freakshow are numbered. The article is set in the World of Wonders, one of the last "odditoriums" still on the carnival circuit.
"Thank God as a young boy I saw someone sticking a nail up their nose, or I would have a terrible life," said Apocalypse as he pulled a cigarette out of a metal Band-Aid tin. "You want to see a freak show? A guy sitting in a cubicle, staring into a computer all day, typing until he gets carpal tunnel syndrome, with a 'thank God it's Friday' coffee mug sitting on his desk. There's your freak show."
