It's a circus, my friends ...

... and you shouldn't believe a word they tell you.

It's all tricks and decoration, no real entertainment.

Did I mention this is life? A circus is your life.

You have your ringmaster, calling out different attractions, introducing you to the new comodities they found wherever. The ringmaster is what tells you everything you should see, everything you should do. "Come one, come all, come see the Amazing ... Have you wonderful ladies and gents tried the ... You haven't LIVED until you've laid eyes on ..." Translated to us: "Come boys and girls, come spend you money and your time and go watch a movie with no point or purpose ... Eat this and that and then ponder why you're the fattest generation ... If you haven't yet, you better take a look at this useless crap and spend more of you PARENT'S money ..."

Sideshow Bob! Oh, what a freak. At the circus it's okay to point and laugh at Sideshow Bob. He's used to it, he's paid for it. He's meant to be a freak with no emotions or thoughts, he's there to entertain YOU! While you're at it, why just point and laugh at Sideshow Bob? Let's point and laugh at this group of "normal people." Let's have a chuckle at that girls expense and not even worry if she's bothered, humiliated, or hurt by it. It's all in good fun. If Sideshow Bob can handle it, anyone should be able to.

Oh, watch now. The animals are being let out of their cages to come to the ring. It's perfectly fine to gawk and prod and poke and whip and ride them. They're just animals. It's not like any abuse done to them will carry out into real life. Children shouldn't be worried about getting hit like those animals do, or getting treated like the animals. No one, would ever mistreat little Jimmy or Sarah. Because all people are good ...

Oh dear Ringmaster, quiet down. I'm not interested in what you have to say. I'm tired of life as it is already without your manipulation and deception. My friends visiting Sideshow Bob, I am ashamed. He DOES have feelings, he DOES have thoughts. There is nothing wrong with Bob otherthan the society he has come to live with. Children treated like animals?! A shock and an outrage. What sick, demented mind would compare the two and put them at such a risk? None, but the Ringmaster of course.

What an outing, what a CIRCUS! How odd it has come to be.
