The Clown Care programme?

This thread has serious potential.

People who are afraid of clowns are humorless and self-important.

JerseyTim: People who are afraid of clowns are humorless and self-important.

I'm not afraid of clowns and I love almost every other kind of comedy, but I can honestly say I've never found a clown "funny". What the hell is funny about a middle-aged man in oversized clothes and makeup making an ass of himself? There's no humor there.

Clowns are terrifying.

For me there are two reasons:
1) we had a ceramic clown/doll at my house when I was a child. It was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

2) I wasn't exposed to scary movies as a kid. A friend showed me Killer Clowns from Outer Space and I had nightmares for a very long time. Now I like the movie, but am still iffy about clowns.

Approves.

Only movie that ever gave me nightmares.

This thread needs more S & M clowns.

I wasn't afraid of clows till that bad horror movie in the '80s Killer Alien clowns from outerspace.

The, Bart, the.

clows=clowns

The Clown Care programme has involved two million hospital bedside visits since it began 21 years ago, employs more than 93 professional "Clown Doctors" and has been copied across the world in countries such as Italy and Brazil, Dein said.

It's Clown Care, not a vagina.

I'm an adult and clowns creep me out. Especially the sad clowns.

It's not the clowns that scare me... it's their chainsaws and meat cleavers.

I'm sorry, looked that movie up, its Killer Klowns from outer space.

If there's a singing telegram clown delivery service available in my area, I think I've got a great idea...

Yeah, a clown would never kill you and then bury you in it's basement.....

I love this picture. I'm the little screaming little redhead.

It's the first time I ever saw a clown, and although my outward reaction to a clown is much calmer now, I am still making this face on the inside.

Keep thinking that way, clowns, even though your heart is breaking.

These guys:



But they are pretty much just gay

This guy:



Another classic evil clown

and of course we can't forget the most evil clown of all,



Yes, I could go on and on and on ......

I do believe it has to do with the "uncanny valley" concept. That, and the fact that clowns tend to do mime stuff that practically demands audience interaction, and frankly, people have been turned into passive viewers by too much Tv watching and find participatory entertainment uncomfortable when it is so up close and in your face. Especially if it's not pee-your-pants funny, and likely somewhat embarrassing.

Hold it!



Does not approve

Methinks the world is getting pretty warped and pussified - afraid of farken clowns? Grow up. Bin laden must by laughin his arse off.
And chill out - learn to laugh before y'all die of ulcers by age 40

Now get off my lawn ya punks....

Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you?
Everybody laughs at the things that I say and do.
They all laugh when they say me coming,
But you don't laugh; you just go home running.

Everybody loves a clown, so why can't you?
A clown has feelings too.

I joke around at a party when you are there.
But you don't laugh, you don't look; you just don't care.
If you wondered why this clown is crying, look a little closer; inside I'm dying.
It's not easy to be in love, you see
When you're a clown like me'

I don't know how to say that I love you,
'cause you would smile and say "tell a joke or two."
Yes, I'm a clown, but I don't want to be.
Why can't you see the other side of me?

Guess I'll be the guy who plays the part
Of a clown with a broken heart.

Dreaming of your love, and not knowing where to start.
Dreaming of your love, and not knowing where to start.
Dreaming of your love, and not knowing where to start.
Dreaming of your love, and not knowing where to start.

Why would anyone be afraid of this clown?

Oh, clowns are fine.
These guys, however, scare me!

It's a vagina AND a clown car!

Oh yeah, almost forgot the obligatory:

Kinko, Kinko, the kid-loving clown
if the kids just love me back I'll never wear a frown
Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown
if the kids just love me back I'll never wear a frown!!!

Kinko's in his Kinko car, pockets full of change
lots of dirty pictures and sticky candy canes.
All the kids love Kinko for the presents that they get
silly leather clothes to wear and happy cigaretts.

-Hi boys and girls, my name is Kinko the clown!!!
-Hi Kinko!!!
-And I really love you boys and girls!!!
Really, really....
-Awwww
-But my legs get tired standing out in the parking lot handing out
stale tootsie rolls to you rugrats, so if anyone wants to come back
to Kinko's trailer and massage his legs, he'd really really like it.
Really, really.....

Kinko, Kinko, the kid-loving clown
if the kids just love me back I'll never wear a frown
Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown

We go to Kinkos clubhouse, sometimes after school
we play in Kinkos crawl space, there's never any room
We have to sit on Kinkos lap there's never any chairs
Kinko likes to tickle us and give us funny stares.

-Gee I haven't had this much fun since Christmas when I got
to play Santa Clause and all the boys and girls got to sit on Kinko's lap-
-Mommy mommy! Kinko hurt me!-
-But that was in Indianapolis and thanks to the liberal reciprocity laws here
Kinko can be with you boys and girls today or anytime.

Jimmy Johnson ran away and didn't say goodbuy
Kinko went to look for him to help the FBI
But Kinko has some handcuffs on his eyes were full of tears
said "I'll be back to play with you sometime in 20 years!"

Kinko, Kinko, the kid-loving clown
the parents wanna beat me up and run me outa town!
Kinko, Kinko, the kid-loving clown
tar and feather Kinko and run him out of town!

-Bye boy's and girls!!!!
-Bye Kinko! See you at the turn of the century!
-Kinko really love you boys and girls!!
Really, really....

Bin Laden? Really? Wow.

I hated clowns when I was a kid, not because I was afraid of them, because I thought they were stupid.

My sister was afraid of mimes. She used to have nightmares that they were trying to break into our house. Kind of a funny mental image...

ultraholland:



oh christ i almost hurt myself laughing at that one.

The Onanist - This thread needs more S & M clowns.

I agree Prob NSFW (new window)

I am just curious... Why do farkers feel the need to post entire song lyrics in any given thread? Seriously, why?

Why so serious?

i hate clowns for a few reasons. one, because they are just innately a little frightening to me... a mixture of a distrust of anyone who covers their whole face, an unease at their inhuman features, and pennywise the dancing clown.

but beyond those more irrational fears, i also just hate clowns because no normal, mentally balanced human being ever ends up working as a clown. all the clowns i've ever met were fairly disturbed, and disturbing, individuals.

Bin Laden is himself an icon of irrational fear. For years he's been nothing more than a commodity for the Bush administration to justify funding for the war on terror.

He was a one trick pony who got lucky because of our complacency. He's nothing to fear.
