It feels like we're being hounded, guilted about this. Perhaps we should revel in the fall of the Clown Era. They're creepy and they make people frightened or angry. What does a clown provide the world? Don't give me that "entertain the children" line. Want to make a room full of toddlers cry? Bring in someone wearing white grease paint and polka-dot clothing. I'm not sure what makes people want to toss clowns into vats of boiling acid, but yeah. Fewer clowns, more crumpin'.
