Mmmm-kay. TFA has one (1) picture of a clown in a parade. Our dainty sensibilities are such that we have to reprint a "safe" version of the article without the picture?

Anyhoo, the quote that makes me scratch my head is, "We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them quite frightening and unknowable." Unknowable?

At least I know that if I ever want to terrorize the entire LoT, all I have to do is show up to a party in clown makeup. The Clownodore.

I requested it. I. Do not. Like clowns. I don't even like the clowns in the Electrical Parade. And I still remember the horrible picture someone (I remember who, I will not name names) posted of a very scary clown. That was very mean.

Good to know.

I think kids don't like clowns because people read others with body language and facial expressions. With all of the makeup, you can't read a clown. It's disturbing to have a person smile with a frown painted on. A lot of the newer clowns don't use the makeup. They have a funny nose and clothes, but no other human-altering makeup.

Oh, and my son like the Insain Clown Posse which REALLY frightens me!
