Clowns are creepy and should be outlawed!


Nevermind if the guys in THIS film are guilty.

ALL CLOWNS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. There is no good that can come of having clowns. They're just evil and creepy and they suck.

Discuss.

Tell that to all the kids at the hospitals who cant wait for the clowns to visit them.

Tell that to the nursing home patients
and the orphanages

Most clowns are wonderful people and spend much of their time helping and volunteering.

ok so youve seen a couple of creepy or scary clowns.
Are you going to be a bigot about it?

Saying all clowns are creepy is like saying all black people steal or all gay people are feminine or all Muslims are terrorists.

Do you see how incredibly ignorant your claim is?

Stop trying to spread lies about clowns. In fact, very few are creepy weird or scary.

I wonder, littlegoldwoman, why you feel the need to be so frequently insulting in your responses? Fear of clowns is a common phobia. I've known grown people to burst into tears at the sight of Ronald McDonald. Some people do find ALL clowns to be creepy. And expressing that opinion is nothing like saying that all black people steal or all Muslims are terrorists.

Yes it the exact same thing because behind every face full of makeup there is a person. A real person who gets sick of the negative stero types against clowns and the fear is ignorant.

Imagine what would happen (and just how stupid it would be) if someone broke out in tears every time they saw a hispanic man with long hair just because they were scared of the No Country For Old Men guy.
People wouldnt stand for it and they would be forced to get over their fear or hide it better.

You cant imagine the abuse clowns go through because our society has allowed this stigma. Its stupid and people need to realize, there are real people in every clown suit.

Civil rights for clowns! Down with clown-ism! In fact, clowns are the bestest people on the planet. And the bestest people FOR the planet, what with their carpooling, 30 to a car the way they do. They were green when green wasn't cool. How DARE anyone not like or be afraid of clowns! After all, it's not like they CHOSE to be clowns! They were born that way. It's not like they can just wash the clown off their faces or just stop being clowns. Oh, wait. They can wash it off and stop being clowns. And they're not a protected minority, either. Hmm. Sucks for clowns. John Wayne Gacy and Pennywise (Stephen King's Pennywise, not the band) ruined it for all clown-kind. :( Kinda makes me like a sad clown. And now I think I know how it feels to be a clown, with people discriminating against them for not being funny, and being incredibly annoying at the same time, throwing buckets of confetti on people who think it's going to be water. No! No! I'm afraid of water, too! I'm melting! I'm melllllt-- Oh, wait. It's paper. Great. Now I've got a thousand paper cuts. Thanks ever so much, Clown. You just wait. I'm gonna take that stupid red nose of yours and stick it where the sun don't shine. You have to sleep sometime. You can't stay awake forever...


Sorry, lost my train of thought.

Ummmm, I am reading another of little gold woman's posts. At first I thought she was simply unbalanced but after the last post I think she might be extremely uneducated. It appears that she believes clowns are real and not people dressed up. Maybe they live with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny with the Tooth Fairy as her personal servant. I would very much like to know where she lives because apparently everyone there is super dooper friendly and polite!

You need to grow up! It's paint and a wig. Are you an adult? Don't you know that they aren't born all painted up like that. It's the silliest, most infantile thing I ever heard. You best stay inside on Halloween. Clown might get you. For crying out loud!
