Honestly, do you know any kids who actually enjoy clowns? I don't. I can remember being three years old and thinking how stupid clowns were. and lots of kids run, screaming in terror whenever a clown comes anywhere near them.
There's a reason that the villain in Stephen King's "It" was a clown. There's a reason the Joker is a clown. And that reason is clowns are creepy. Whe you think "clown" what's the fist thing that come to your mind? Balloon animals? Baggy clothes? Silly shenanigans involving banana cream pies? No, you think pedophile or guy who kills hookers, hides them in their basement, and wears their skin like a coat.
Most people who have jobs as clowns don't do that. (Probably) They're most likely people who need a little extra money or people who made terrible life choices. But according to a very trustworthy source, (a comment on Youtube) the reason clowns give us the heebie-jeebies is their painted-up faces. They always have that eerie grin. And because their entire face is hidden by makeup, it creates a kind of uncanny valley effect. Well, that and the fact that they're adults who make careers out of entertaining and handing things out to children they don't know.
So, with all the reasons there are to hate clowns, why do we still have them around. Why don't we send them all to Creepy Clown Island? (Worst vacation EVER.) Well, it's getting late. Maybe you should
All right, Sport, sweet dreams.
