    Default Clowns

    I was always afraid of them. The funny thing is that they exist and work to make children laugh and cheerful. *shiver*
    Could any of you laugh at them as a child? Who the blue hell can find them funny at all?
    For me they always seemed to be very sad and scary.
    I don't like them these days, either.

    Roland would have understood.

    I never got why people are afraid of clowns. I'm ambivalent about them, I don't find them all that amusing, but I'm not frightened by them either.

    Are they funny for you???
    I don't say they are horribly scary but they as scary as a crazy dog, for example.

    No, not really funny either. I just don't really care about them at all.

    i have a strong fear of them. ever since i was a kid. i saw a regular guy at a festival this past week, and he only had a red clown nose, no makeup. he was throwing bowling pins in the air and walking in our general direction.

    i still put my head down and could not look into his eyes.

    it's completely irrational.

    I think it could stem from the fact that many clowns, like many teachers, are often adults who don't actually like children. That comes across in their work - hence scary clowns. Thats just my theory

    i always felt that if they were really happy, why do they have to paint a smile on their faces?

    because they have something to hide, that's why.

    Pennywise didn't even scare me. That's probably why I didn't enjoy It very much.

    I think Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handy says it all for me.

    To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

    Not at all. I just don't get the scary clown thing. I mean, I guess if you were traumatized by a clown by a child I could see it, but still. It's a clown.

    A clown is never just a clown. There is always a person behind it...

    Exactly. Which is the same reason I'm not scared by people in costumes. There's a person behind it.

    For my post I am always afraid of people. (I mean if I am scared I am scared by a person.)
    Monsters vampires ufos and stull like that can't make me scared.

    If a person was physically or verbally threatening me, then yeah, I'd be scared. But if he or she just dressed up as a clown or a monster or something and walked around, it would't bother me a bit.

    Your point is absolutely healthy and understandable and I agree with it.
    Still I can't stand clowns.

    Guess I can't argue with that.

    I like scary clowns the best.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Clowns have never scared me much, except for Pennywise :shudder:

    Although my high school boyfriend was terrifyed of them, ever since he was a little kid who went to the circus. A clown was walking up and down the stairs of the arena preforming tricks when he tripped and fell down them. He landed right next to my ex's seat and looked up at him with blood pouring down his painted face going "Hellllpppp meeeeeee". No wonder he was scared to death of them, that would scar me for life too.
