BringBackFergy Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 What's the deal with all these clowns? Just kids playing tricks on people or are there really people out there who dress like a clown on a normal day? Are they a protected class? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/20/creepy-clown-sightings-are-spreading-across-the-united-states/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 This reminded me of a 2013 CNN Op-Ed written because a rodeo clown wore an Obama mask during his routine. The reason is stayed with me is not because CNN found someone who declared wearing a presidental rubber mask as racist, but that the person who wrote the editorial had this to say as a member of the 3000-member strong Clowns of America, International: So what is this clown community and where do I get these ethics? One of the main international clown organizations based in the United States is Clowns of America, International. We are 3,000 members strong and are organized into clown "alleys," groups that perform together. As part of our training, and really the training of most clowns, we have a strict code of ethics covering such things as drinking while clowning, cleanliness and remaining in character. We take offense at the actions of the rodeo "clown" because we are strictly trained not to offend anyone while "in clown." So remember...don't offend anyone when you're 'in clown.'

BringBackFergy Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Marketing for an upcoming movie. Not a bad idea. Hoping the Ryan brothers aren't a precursor to what we might expect next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 These clowns are going to get the beating of their life or shot. Or both. They may instill fear in some parts of the United States. In others, it just invites generally well-adjusted people (and parents) to be violent vigilantes and purge some aggression. Nobody likes clowns. Or mimes.

Or mimes. why can't I dress as a clown and stand where I want to stand? Walk where I want to walk? Its a joke that because people dress differently they are reacted to differently and that's the irony of this. A plain jane run of the mill creep may sit in the park on a bench all day or go stare at the women sunbathing. But put him in a clown outfit and ermagawd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you want to lure some kids, yell at some kids, threaten schools or stand on some private property, yes, you could be beaten severely.
