YOUTHOPIA
By Marylaine Louise Viernes
The greatest freak show on earth


I am sure that a lot of our laborers had been so tired clamoring for the credence of job security and elimination of contractualization. As oppressive companies thrive, many exploited people throw themselves on the streets over nothing. So why not just drop everything and have fun? This is something even the minimum-wage earners can afford! I watched this last week during Labor Day. Check out this poster for more details:

Come one, come all, to the Grand Mala-Carneyvale! This is the show that is bound to blow Las Vegas away, for we have more attractions than Sin City. Full of sins, full of fools! Sin-fool, indeed!

The Newest Freak Act (NFA). This show features the bunch of gambler extraordinaire imported from Las Bigas. These gamblers even have their imported defense bodyguard, Condolence Rice. They will show you the magic of rice! Tickets are only P18 something!

Also, come and see the famous brothers Zomulo, Ten­jamin and Edjun, otherwise known as the ZTE Brood Band! Witness them battle with their drums and their heavy metal guitars. They’ve been a phenomenon these past months, so you must not dare miss this!

For more traditional circus stunts, you can go to the small corner of the Monocyclist Jiggy Pedal, who is able to ride his monocycle using just one pedal. And he likes to scoop money from the awestruck crowd and then do his disappearing act! Guaranteed satisfaction from screaming audience!

A one-night only, and never again performance by the amazing world-class slapstick con-medy artist, Joke Joke Violante! Twice the fun, twice the jokes, and twice the price for your money! He might also do his disappearing act, so you can’t afford to miss this one!

Another thing that you might not ever see at all is The Mar­velous Invisible Man, Hollow Garshee; you will not see him, but you will certainly hear him! This show includes a well-written series of acts and conversations that are bound to blow you away. Don’t forget to get souvenirs in VCD and DVD, pirated format.

We also have the cute and cuddly animal shows, featuring the star kangaroo, Joey, trained by the famous ring man and house emcee, Joe of the Venetian Hotel! Although this adorable little Joey is under a tranquilizer after setting the audience on fire and ruining the show for his kangaroo parents, he will still have shows after a few months expulsion from the Mala-Carneyvale. They call him and his parents, the Broad Banned in the Mala-Carneyvale! Witness the broad band’s narrow escape. This is surely one spectacular family drama!

Speaking of bands, for a more laid-back ambiance, you can visit the lounge where the wonderful songstress Sitti-E performs nightly with her band to render her version of the NBN song, which stands for, No Billions Now? It’s sad, but it is relaxing for sure!

We also have the amazing decapitated ARMMS! These limbs walk on tightropes, dodge bullets, knives and climb on automated polls! Or, poles…

Another mindless, decapitated act is the Horror show of the Brainless, err; Headless Hoarse Man of the Departed of Just East, Sir Raulo! He had tired to seize the throne of his former ally, now nemesis in the slapstick comedy department, Joke Joke Violante, with his equally headless wits!

Since all the shows are exhilarating, you can treat yourselves to the refreshments at Mala-Carneyvale! Try the famous ice cream men—Ben and Neri’s sweets that will make your brain freeze and make you scream—with fury. Be sure to moderate your greed, because sweets will do you no good!

Going around Mala-Carneyvale on foot can be exhausting! You might want to take the sham; I mean the tram that drives around different studios and attraction sites. The ever-efficient Northfail Tram will charge you a bit, but it will also let you end up in the best and final destination in the place—to the cliff, where the tracks end. But not before you have witnessed the best attraction of all: The Glodzilla! Although the cage has been on constant disaster renovation, we guarantee that you can see this attraction before the Glodzilla is set free on the year 2010. Management decided to have a Garter Change before but then the Glodzilla was unleashed and caused so much havoc. Legend has it that before it became known as the fearsome Glodzilla, it was a tiny, cuddly thing that turned wild after being abandoned by her Nanny Perez.

Sounds fun huh? Tell me which your favorite featured freak show is!
