Clown Hysteria: Why is Everybody DOWN on CLOWNS?
Clowns
All the world apparently doesn't love a clown.Why the haters? 
It seems to be hip to see ALL clowns as "creepy" and zombies as cool.It's ironic that zombies streaked in blood and oozing death are deemed benevolent while goofy clowns donned in ginormous polka-dots are most likely evil.Am I alone, but what's not to love about red rubber noses, orange wigs, baggy pants, exaggerated make-up, and over-sized floppy shoes?99.9999999999999999% of Hollywood - and everyone on TV - wears fake hair and too much make-up. So what?
For the record
My favorite zombie is "the tall mixed drink consisting of several kinds of rum, liqueur, and fruit juice."
Did You Know?
Most clowns are not tools for the fast food industry.Statistically, less than .0000000000000000000001 % of clowns are serial killers, mass murderers, or pedophiles - fictional or otherwise. Thank you, Stephen King :-) No doubt, a higher percentage of politicians and pollsters are murderers and/or pedophiles.
