		 It would be nice if clowns disappeared, as they stopped being a form of children's entertainment about 50 years ago.  I don't hate them but I think they're pretty stupid. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			Cirque "clowns" are a whole other concept. Too bad American clowns, much like our automobiles, are so behind the rest of the world.

		 Wow, too right.  I found clowns disturbing too, and I couldn't understand why grown-ups seemed to think us kids ought to like them.  My stepfather even had a crying clown print hanging in the family room at one point. <shudder>   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I don't think I found them frightening, in the sense of being a threat, I just thought them unpleasant. And the crying clown art, just icky and morose!  |

		 I've been scared of clowns ever since Poltergeist (that hanging puppet clown that I had in my room as a kid didn't help things any either).   Pennywise merely sealed the deal when I read "It" in 7th grade.

	Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. Can't sleep... clowns will eat me. No, I didn't read the article. I presume there are photos in it. If that is what is to be avoided can someone go pull the text so I can read the article? Oddly enough, IT is one of my favorite books. And Flubber does a dead-on impression of Pennywise.  |

		 Bozo never scared me, Ronald McDonald never scared me. All the clowns in Dumbo never scared me. I've never understood why people claim to be frightened by clowns. Being afraid of all clowns because of a few horror movies is like being afraid of all ventriloquist dummies or all talking Tina dolls.

		 I was afraid of clowns, talking dolls, and ventriloquist dummies long before I ever saw horror movies about them, though.  There's just something... sinister about them.

		 Don't like ventriloquist dummies either. Thanks to commercialization, Ronald McDonald doesn't necessarily scare me, but I have no need or desire to go up to "him" if "he" was ever at McDonald's the once or twice a year I visit one.
