apparently word is getting around that clowns are creepy, and possibly even scary. a university of sheffield england study seen on the bbc news states that the majority of children find clown images too scary and that children find clown faces and imagery frightening and unknowable. yikes! perhaps if england had a decent child clown outlet like we do in the states, the thoughts of clowns wouldn’t be seen as so scary.

it’s friday and it’s the holidays. gonna be lots of food on the table. maybe some carrots. which could mean there’ll be a lot of left-over carrots. not much you can do with left-over carrots … either eat them or throw them out. i highly recommend throwing them out. they can get really, really disgusting after a while. and speaking of gross leftover carrots … um, what the fuck happened to carrot top? creepy. scary. yikes. and, now more than ever, still not funny. should’ve posted this for halloween. images of the horror that is carrot top 2.0 borrowed from the endless stream of disturbing content that is totallycrap.com. must go burn out eyes now.
wow. if this next clip is a commercial, i’m buying one of everything. please watch the rad and perplexing (making it more rad) youtube gold titled baby octopus. it’s either a wacky japanese show or a wacky japanese commerical for a really terrible daycare service. seems to need the yakety sax theme from benny hill. any live action show with people running around in creepy monster suits is great with me. plus, that there octopus has got a sexy mouth. thanks to the devious minds at cobracreative for the clip. enjoy!
warning: clowns are heading into nursing homes to feed upon entertain the elderly. send help now! what? don’t believe me? well, thanks to wmfu’s beware the blog there’s proof. bear witness to the end of sanity and watch clown ministry video 1 and then, yes, clown ministry video 2. i’ll let the dialogue from the video speak for itself:
when you’re ready to launch out into the unknown, possibly the best place to begin is in a nursing home, or a care center for the elderly. one reason is simply this: the elderly really receive you quite well. i think it’s because they already know how vulnerable they are. they’re lonely, and longing for touch. so as clowns we take seriously what jesus said in matthew 25 …
also, halfway through the first video, there’s some very good advice on the “clown clustering” phenomenon:
when you enter the nursing home, do not stand there with your group in a large cluster of clowns. clowns can look rather intimidating if you see a lot of them in one place.
so true. so very, very true. i remember a traffic-stopping clown party on geary and 23rd ave in SF about 3 years ago. dozens of country clowns and hillbilly clowns. there was a pie fight too. soo scary.
