Send in the Clowns!

Coulrophobia: An overwhelming fear of clowns. This lady: She's got it - bad. In this heart-stopping clip, Chris, a woman with a crippling fear of clowns, stares down her nemesis in the most dramatic video you'll see all day, possibly the most dramatic video you will see in your lifetime. With an all-star cast including The Psychologist, Mr. Giggles (the man who is at once her tormenter and her savior), and Parsley, the loyal, wisecracking sidekick who will see her through to the end - Operation Send in the Clowns is not a video you will soon forget. (To see if Chris is truly cured, though, we should send in this clown and see what happens.)

Suspicious Van of the Day

I doubt this will be a regular feature here, but it is on this awesome website GorillaMask found: Suspicious Vans. We see them all the time, lurking, needing a wash, and, as in this picture, being driven by a clown. Van + Clown = Suspicion Overload.

He Should Win a Prize For This

I don't care what they say, being a clown is all fun and games.

Thirsty Clown Urinal

GiggleSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:30:00 -0800

Peeing is now a novelty act! Our innovative friends in Japan made an arcade game out of a simple visit to the urinal. A dude stands and pees into the mouth of a moving clown while creepy circus music plays along- for atmosphere, I suppose. All "eww!" aside, this just ain't practical. Men have a terrible time keeping aim and staying on target when the loo is stationary, so this is asking for a mess. . .but I guess that's the point of the game.

You've Gotta Be Clowning Me, Right?

They ordered Blue's Clues. They got this.

Group of Clowns Among Iraqi Refugees Fleeing Violence

LibertySugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:00:33 -0800

The Happy Family Clown Group recently fled Iraq after two of its members were senselessly murdered. Unsure of why they were targeted, the three remaining clowns sought exile in Syria, a country that receives 1,000 Iraqis refugees each day.

The Iraqi clowns registered with the United Nation's refugee agency (UNHCR). They now are making the most of their exile, working with the UNHCR and performing their show "A Child Is as Scared as a Country" for refugee children.

The UN estimates that 4.2 million Iraqis have left their homes. Approximately 1 million live a difficult life in Syria, where they cannot work legally. Many would love to return to Iraq, but like the Happy Family Clown Group, they fear for their safety and their lives. For some comprehensive information on the refugee situation in Iraq, check out the UNHCR's Iraq refugee site. You know the violence is bad when clowns are the targets.

Flashback: Captain Creepmeister McDonald

Is it just me, or did this vintage McDonald's ad send children a questionable message? Something like, "Hey kids, don't talk or accept gifts from strangers, unless those strangers push food on you and identify themselves as Ronald McDonald!" And then all the little kiddies skip off into the sunset with potentially deranged impostors . . .

Clowns: Creepy in All Languages

You can call him Pierrot, but he's still effin scary.

Clown Makes Grown Woman Cry

GiggleSugar — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 02:00:00 -0700

This woman takes her distaste of clowns to the extreme. The mere presence of Mr. Giggles makes her burst into tears and nearly hyperventilate. As we've seen before, she's not alone. So who's keeping these balloon manglers in business anyway?

WTF?! (Scary Clowns In Nursing Homes Edition)

I know these clowns are well-intentioned, but if "clowns are scary" is a cliché, why on earth would a gaggle of clowns in front of easily-startled elderly folks with heart conditions be a good idea? And has any phrase struck more terror in your heart than "outnumbered by clowns"?! ACK!
