Ironically enough some of the most popular freak show attractions during Victorian times were things like “The Stoutest Lady Alive”, or “American Midgets”. Both of these attractions would still draw a crowd today. As a matter of fact they still do. Only now instead of being part of a circus act, or hidden away and only viewed when someone buys a ticket, now they are ever present on reality television daily. With shows like “My 600 pound life” and “Little People, Big World” drawing viewers on networks daily, it really is hard to believe that we as a society have progressed at all. I guess the upside would be that these people are paid quite well to put their lives on display for the rest of the world, and at least if people are disgusted by them, or even laugh at them when they watch, these people do not ever have to know about it.
