Triad Clown Couple Says Mysterious Sightings Have Crippled Business

It's not a good time to be a clown.

Once upon a time, when America was straight-laced and serious, a goofy clown wearing an outlandish outfit was perceived as amusing.

But now, we have people who look and dress and act like a freak-show act walking around in public, and ordinary people are threatened with sanctions and shaming if we don't treat them as if they are perfectly normal.

In that context, a clown costume isn't that amusing anymore.

story yesterday said the clown sightings were a hoax?

Triad Clown? Ya mean...
???

I’ve always found clowns creepy. They’re right up there with mimes and Democrats.

A scary clown triad

[ronniesgal]

didn’t the Juggalos ruin it for regular clowns?

And they are STILL creepy!

Don’t they know that many children are downright freaked out by clowns? Wake up screaming at night, and now have a face for the thing hiding in their closet!

BAN KLOWNS!!!!

Go to youtube for Post Sugar Rice Krinkles, brought to you by Krinkles the Klown.

Watching it forward is creepy enough but seeing it played backwards, from the klown’s mouth to your cereal bowl, is much creepier.

I am almost 63-years-old and you want me to scar myself for life? I’ll take your word for it.

If one is frightened by clowns [why?!], merely perceive them as fodder for pistol practice. It makes bad things laughable...

[Mears]

I never gave clowns much thought until I read Stepnen King’s “It” many years ago.

Since then they creep me out...

I read it, too...he does good stuff. Read The Stand yet? That miniseries was great!

[elcid1970]

Heh, heh, I’ll soon be 68 & Krinkles Klown is laughworthy. Post Cereals must have fired whoever came up with it.

Especially the rooster crowing backwards at the end/beginning like a harbinger of approaching doom.

C’mon....won’t kill ya to look once. Pretty sure, anyway.

Well, okay . . . I’ll put my future peace of mind at stake for you. Actually I looked for it and found the commercial but not the backwards part.

Do you have a direct link?

[elcid1970]

“Krinkles creepy cereal commercial” has several versions on youtube but dog my cats the reversed version has been pulled!

That’s not the first time something put online backwards gets taken down. Must be some really bad juju in reversing stuff.

For the first time in my adult life I can say that I am proud of YouTube for saving my mental psyche . . . at least for a little while - or until dementia finds me first.

Sorry, but we had 8 years of a clown, so maybe the clown business is off because of 'Sir Kenyan Clown'..

Unfortunately, the Dems got a few clowns...Hillary is the murderous clown, which is really bad...
