I've organized charity events (through us evil Masons) that have raised tens of thousands of dollars for paraolympics, and for the participants it's anything but a joke. The parents and kids especially take great pride in the athletes. If YOU find it amusing, and laugh at the athletes, it's not that it's a circus.. it's that there is something seriously freaking wrong with you, that you should probably get checked out.

Something akin to a laugh or joke at the Disabled??
Watching disabled people in what could be described as a circus act?
