I now understand why kids fear clowns!

[WillParkinson]

The above appeared on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel yesterday in a story about the Circus Parade. I was frightened just looking at this.

1. Zoiks!

[stuntcat]

2. Was that supposed to be telling how nice this "Circus Parade" was?

I'd stay the hell away from it.. This picture is a warning I think!
I bet the people at the paper knew just what they were doing with the scary clown.

5. The article...

Is how wonderful it was that the Circus Parade will be back in Milwaukee in 2009.

Complete with psychotic, brain-eating zombie clowns, apparently.

6. One of the BEST all-time lines in "Seinfeld"...

...even if you don't happen to be a Seinfeld fan...was when Kramer encountered "Crazy Joe" Davola dressed as a clown, and mentioned that he used to be afraid of clowns, and Davola asked in a menacing voice "Are you STILL afraid of clowns" and Kramer paused for a minute and replied "yesssssssssssssssssssssss...."

Yeah, I know, Michael Richards imploded. And when you watch the Seinfeld DVDS you get the feeling that he sees himself as Sir Lawrence Oliver. But some of those shows still crack me up. The "Pagliacci" episode was one of them.

Pennywish is the clown I ALWAYS think of when I see ANY clown.

16. Hey, they're just like you and me.

Except that we don't hide under people's beds waiting to grab them and drag them to their death while laughing maniacally accompanied by insane, swirling carnival music.

[WillParkinson]

18. We...don't?

Damn. Another memo I missed.

[sammythecat]

17. That is just hideous!

Good Lord.

[Tektonik]
