If the thought of clowns wasn’t already enough to scare the pants off some people, 21 clowns are dropping theirs for a 2009 Naked Clown Calendar.
Graduates of the San Francisco Circus Center’s Clown Conservatory are getting naked for the calendar to help raise money for the Judy Finelli Fund, a non-profit organization that works with the MS Foundation of Florida to do advocacy and research for multiple sclerosis. It also will provide scholarships to people with MS who want to do circus arts.

I cannot reiterate this enough, clowns are evil! It’s a well documented fact, I hate clowns (see < a href= “http://horrorfatale.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/a-show-of-hands-afraid-of-clowns/” > here and < a href= http://horrorfatale.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/it-has-a-fuckin-name-for-joy/> here). So, this is some disturbing info to me.

LONDON (Reuters) - Bad news for Coco and Blinko -- children don't like clowns and even older kids are scared of them.
The news that will no doubt have clowns shedding tears was revealed in a poll of youngsters by researchers from the University of Sheffield who were examining how to improve the decor of hospital children's wards.
The study, reported in the Nursing Standard magazine, found all the 250 patients aged between four and 16 they quizzed disliked the use of clowns, with even the older ones finding them scary.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Larry Harmon, who appeared as Bozo the Clown for decades and licensed the name to other Bozos around the world, has died at age 83.
Harmon died Thursday at his home of congestive heart failure, his longtime publicist, Jerry Digney, told The Associated Press.
Although not the first person to play Bozo, Harmon took on the famous clown's persona and, as an entrepreneur, he licensed the character to others, particularly TV stations.

Using a cell phone while walking is so distracting that people are likely to miss a clown riding a unicycle.
And yes, this is the result of real research, which involved mostly college-age students walking across a main campus square while a real clown performed. The research also found cell-phone users walk slower and weave about more than others.

Villians take a huge part of the story... Their role is to show that humans commit crimes everyday without knowing it. In a sense, it adds a twist because humans are evil and not just them. It is very symbolic to human the flaws in nature.
One of the villians is Lazy the Clown.
This is how Lazy the Clown is created into the story.

Here’s an excellent example of pwnage: when the white supremacist group VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK tried to host a hate rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, they were foiled by … clowns!
Unfortunately for [VNN] the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.
Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns.
