The Boulder County Fair has shut down the "Little Liz, the World's Smallest Woman" sideshow at the carnival after two parents complained to county authorities. What next? Are they going to tell a glass eater that he/she is not getting enough vegetables? |

She wasn't hurting anyone was she ! If she wasn't worried about it why should others force her to stop. I have a friend in the UK who is a clown, believe it or not the authorities have stopped him from using a bubble machine stating that its dangerous. It could make the floor slippery and a child could fall as a result, madness or what !

The politics get to the island as well, tourism is way down this years so in their wisdom, the council have banned live music. And you can't have people on your terrace talking after midnight. This in an island with temperatures in the night 80s and humidity is often 94/95% who wants to sit inside ?

Several years ago, Cincinnati banned "human oddity" shows after a 600lb. fat man died during the Hamilton County Fair.

35 years ago Chicago wouldn't allow Otis Jordan, no feature oddities.
