Who's Laughing Now?

An article on Yahoo News just caught my attention, mostly for its memorable headline:


According to the article, a new University of Sheffield study found that "clowns are universally disliked by children". How universally? Well, 250 patients (ages 4 thru 16) in a children's hospital were polled on whether they liked clowns, and the kids unanimously voted NO.

The researchers in the article sound surprised by this. Apparently they've never heard of Stephen King.

ABOVE: Come on, everybody loves
child-eating extradimensional demon clowns!

Or the Simpsons.
ABOVE: After this, it's a miracle that Bart can
still live
in the same city as Krusty.

Or Batman.
ABOVE: I would absolutely LOVE to hear
the people of Gotham City's thoughts on clowns.



NOTE TO THE MARMOSET: While doing "research" (for lack of a better word) for this post, I googled, among other things, "fabulous Schwinn bicycle" and "crisp 50 dollar bill". No such luck.
