With all the hoopla about clowns in the media - what's your thoughts.
Do you like clowns?
Who is your favorite clown?
How many famous clowns can you name?
Do you think it's fair that Ronald McDonald had to go in hiding?

Don't like or dislike them. Sad for Ronald McDonald and the fact that kids cannot enjoy such a simple thing.
Didn't Red Skelton paint clowns? And aren't there two kinds--happy and sad ones--each with their own name??

Why did Ronald McDonald have to go into hiding? Guess I need to read more ! McDonald's is hiding its famous mascot, Ronald McDonald, in the midst of a wave of scary clown sightings across the US. The company said Tuesday that it's "mindful" of the clown sightings and it's paring back Ronald McDonald's public appearances as a result. "McDonald's and franchisees in the local markets are mindful of the current climate around clown sightings in communities and as such are being thoughtful in respect to Ronald McDonald's participation in community events for the time being," McDonald's spokeswoman Terri Hickey told Business Insider. Ronald McDonald — with his clown-like face paint, red wig, and yellow jumpsuit — has long been the face of McDonald's. But with a recent rash of disturbing clown sightings across the country, Ronald McDonald’s appropriateness at public events is suddenly being called into question, as the Associated Press first reported. The creepy sightings began in Greenville, South Carolina, in August, when several children told authorities that a group of clowns offered them money to follow them into the woods. The suspects were never found. Since then, there have been hundreds of reports of strange clown sightings, some of which have turned violent. A mother in San Francisco last week claimed she fought off someone dressed as a clown who tried to grab her daughter. In a separate incident last week in New York City, someone dressed as a clown and wielding a knife threatened subway riders and chased a teenage boy off a train.

I still think the whole thing is silly. You know who I can't stand? That old fat man with the white beard. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. No way was I going to sit on his lap and tell him what I wanted for Christmas. I hope a bunch of idiots commit a few crimes in Santa Suits - then they'll have to ban Santa from the stores - and maybe we can celebrate what Christmas is really about .

Do you like clowns? I'm indifferent
Who is your favorite clown? Blinky the Clown. He was a fixture on one of our local tv stations for 40 years and I used to watch him every morning before school.
How many famous clowns can you name? Blinky, Bozo, Puddles the Sad Clown (sings with the group Postmodern Jukebox), Pennywise (Stephen King's It), Insert politician name here.
Do you think it's fair that Ronald McDonald had to go in hiding? Again, I'm indifferent

I'd rather have a clown than a witch for president. And it looks like the clown won.
