Creepy clown sightings

[Phoenix87x]

So I've been hearing a lot about these creepy clowns lately. I haven't come across any personally, but over here in the Philly area, that's all people have been talking about.

Thoughts on the the 2016 clown phenomenon?

It made the news also here in Italy, it happened also in Europe apparently.

Either there was ONE clown dude that lost his marbles and then copycats followed, since in the globalized world we live in it takes no time for a trend to spread, or there's a global conspiracy of clowns ready to take over the world.

Send in The Clowns!!!!!



All right, on a serious note.  What happened to people's images of clowns?  They used to be weird yet sometimes funny looking beings that just wants to have fun.  Now people's perceptions of clowns are they are just too annoying or too scary and that they should just go away.  This creepy clown sightings isn't help much with that image and now people might do crazy things if they see a creepy clown, like run them over, knee them in the groin, or something that causes people to run away from the clowns.

Beat me to it. I was gonna post Gags.

But anyway it's getting ridiculous. It's overtaking schools to the point where schools are sending notes home anput the clowns and scaring little kids. I'm so done. Not all clowns are pennywise.

Yea, it's a bit out of hand, but I can't tell if it's made up or not since I hear a lot about it on the web, but see none of it and don't know anyone who's seen or heard of it in real life.

However, the local news is reporting that the local schools are advising kids to not wear clown costumes for Halloween.

Maybe they are celebrating Halloween early.  The world is full of clowns.  What else is new?  Not really news worthy.

So about a mile from my house, a dude dressed as a clown tried to kidnap a baby on a busy street in the afternoon. Not sure why the clown outfit  or the stupidity, but the brazenness of it scares me shitless.

Hope he gets a clown horn up the keister in the clink.

He got pretty fucking lucky, that's a very Mexican heavy neighborhood, if the raza would have seen him pull that shit, they would have beat him to death for sure.

Yesterday I was attending adult hockey camp in Lake Placid at the Miracle on Ice rink and the goalie coach spotted a clown right behind our bench. A few others saw him too, but he was gone when the rest of us turned around to look.
