Outraged local parents sickened with 'sex circus'
Villagers in the small town of Stropton were left shocked and appalled last night when a visiting travelling circus degenerated into an 'animal porn show of graphic proportions.' The three-hundred-strong capacity crowd, made up predominantly of children, had settled into their seats on the recreation ground on Hamblers Heath expecting the usual light entertainment acts of clowns and acrobats. They left, however, having witnessed a 'cacophony of animal debauchery, unthwarted by the circus personnel.'
The performance had begun as any other, ringmaster Jolly Joe Johnson welcomed the families into the 'Greatest show on Earth' and introduced the first routine to the expectant throngs; the world famous Hernandez High Flyers. Unfortunately, the delighted smiles of the crowd were soon to be turned upside down.
The ringmaster next introduced a pair of performing elephants named Rosie and Salvadore. The act started well; balancing on steps, bowing to the cheering crowd. However it soon transpired that the plucky duo were somewhat of an item and that Salvadore was not shy in declaring his feelings in front of the ignorant spectators. Children laughed at the elephants playing 'piggyback' until realisation hit home and parents clambered to shield their offpsrings' innocent eyes. Two aides ran onto the stage to try and stop the act but, in doing so, other animals held backstage were released and ran out into the circle causing havoc. It is reported that up to 20 animals including giraffes, horses and monkeys went rampant through the tent as horrified onlookers rushed to the exits.
Mother of two Shirley Donaghue was in the big top when the events occurred. She told us; 'It was shocking, my poor children will be scarred for life after this horrific experience. We were enjoying the show when the animals stampeded straight for us. There was a crush as a rotund gent got stuck in the turnstile and we feared we'd be trampled.'
Two people suffered minor injuries caused by the crush, no complaints against the animals have been made as yet. A spokesman from Chuckle Brothers Circus was unavailable for comment although the remaining two performances this weekend have not been cancelled.
