have you never seen the freaks movie? it's a classic. the most
   famous of famous sideshow attractions all in one movie. We would
   call it exploitation now - but many of these folks, cigarette
   rolling man, armless girl - got paid a lot of money to do what
   they do. they were grown adults mentally perfectly capable of
   getting into a business arrangement, having lawyers and such.
   Anyhow - it's a unique movie. "
