People buying freak show tickets. Cut to lurid circus freak show posters: "Madam Zenda: World's Greatest Mind Reader", "Prof. Frank Graf: Human Art" (tattooing; poster only), "Marian: Headless Girl From London" (extremely lurid and practically indescribable), "Winsome Winnie: Fat Pretty And Jolly" (the circus fat lady), many others including "Zip & Pip: 2 Georgia Peaches".
