Oops, jumped the gun on you. Yeah, clowns scare kids. This is about as groundbreaking as the CDC study proving college kids drink more. Why aren't researchers out...I don't know, curing cancer? Or fixing criminals?
Mimes are worse. Mimes are like the ninjas of clowns. A mime is a clown that you won't hear creeping into your bedroom as you sleep.
I was never scared of clowns, but I have been disappointed by them. I remember the first time my Grandma took me to a circus I was so jazzed up to see the clowns and when I did I was like “That’s it? I thought clowns where funny?”
I'm not afraid of clowns, never really had a dislike for them either. But I was also never like "WOOT! there's a clown!". Now that I think about it, I find them annoying, not funny, and I'm easily irritated by some douche in an ugly suit covered in makeup in my face acting like a tool. I guess I do hate clowns afterall.
Oh wait. Did anyone ever see that "Are you Afriad of the Dark" episode with that evil, cigar smoking clown? They took it's nose so the evil doll comes after this kid....creepy as fuck. EDIT: Holy fuck I found it..... The other parts are in the side panel on the right...
I thought they were funny, when I was a kid. I don't see anything remotely scary about them. Kids today must be wusses. I can't believe there's been no mention of Captain Spaulding, yet. Best clown, ever.
