Journal Stargoat's Journal: Clowns 7
I am tired of hearing everyone talk about how scary clowns are. Seriously folks, this is passe. Steven King wrote It many years ago and the movie is almost two decades old.
Clowns are bright, friendly, and most of all, funny. They make colorful balloon animals. They tell jokes. They act as the truth in all of us, making us laugh and groan. They spend time with animals and like to entertain people.
But people feel that they should be scared of the friendly clown. They are told it is cool to be. They watch reality television shows where women and men are frightened of clowns. This is ludicrous.
Yes, the greasepaint of the clown has sometimes been adopted by evil men to add horror to their actions. They seek to subvert the naturally laughable aspect of the clown and thereby extend their own gross indulgences. It is an assault upon our collective spirit and it should not be allowed to succeed.
Clowns should make us happy. They are funny. Let us stop proclaiming how scary and evil they are and return to the simple truth. Let us see a clown and let us laugh.

Hell, I work with a bunch of clowns. The only thing scary is the level of work ethic.

I think people disliking clowns came first and was the reason for the popularity of IT.
In my experience, about 50% of people report that their childhood experience was that clowns were disturbing and not fun.
