Title: Clowns are out...(nah!)

Apparently kids are still scared crapless of clowns, yet people still hire them out for any number of places where kids will be. BTW, they paid for this study. I think any parent could have told them that!

LONDON (Reuters) - Bad news for Coco and Blinko -- children don't like clowns and even older kids are scared of them.

The news that will no doubt have clowns shedding tears was revealed in a poll of youngsters by researchers from the University of Sheffield who were examining how to improve the decor of hospital children's wards.

The study, reported in the Nursing Standard magazine, found all the 250 patients aged between four and 16 they quizzed disliked the use of clowns, with even the older ones finding them scary.

Hmmm.

An adult man who dresses in makeup to play with and entertain little kids at birthday parties. Nah. Nothing creepy about that!

Seriously, clowns do and always have freaked me out.

I think John Wayne Gacy put the final creepy nail in the coffin and there is no pun intended in that may his victims rip.
