Clowns everone hates them so why do they exist?

I think the reason people don't hate Krusty is because aside from the demented psycho makeup, he's more of a poor-man's Johnny Carson gone wrong than he is the traditional "clown." I do have to say that his sideshow dudes are pretty scary.

Plenty of folks like clowns, I don't likeor dislike them myself. Those annoying mimes have got to go however, sure the population of mimes is lower today then it was in 1981 but they are still out there somewhere silently stalking city goers (well it sure better be silently or they'd just be annoying clowns then wouldn't they?).

Is it true that mimes are originated in France? :uhoh:

Well, the art of pantomime really started in Rome and gradually evolved. In France, pantomime blanche (introduction of the white face paint) came about in the 17th century.

It continued to evolve in France until the mid 20th century; Paris become the place to be for mimes.

WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE!

Ha ha! Beautiful! (Great flick, by the way. I'm in the middle of the book at the moment.)

I myself, love clowns. I wanted to be one when I grew up when I was younger. I know that some people are actually afraid of clowns, but unfortunatly (at least in my area -- mostly middle and high schools, colleges not so much) it's become popular and cute to be afraid of clowns. So it's hard to tell who has a problem with them for real until you dress up like one on Halloween and really invade peoples comfort zones (please keep in mind that I mean just standing really close to them. Not... touching awkwardly. Anyone would be afraid of a molester clown...). That was a fun day. Made a lot of people lose the right to say "I'm scared of clowns! Aaaahh!".
