Question

i don't really HATE them..but they freak me out...lol...i think it's because i don't really know who's behind that retarded laugh and makeup...it could be a pervert or something...lol

what about you?

Answer 1

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda 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.

Answer 2

I HATE clowns!!  

Answer 3

i dont like clowns my self, i feel bad when i see them since in my childhood. it is freaky to see a smiling face 24/7. it is not normal to me..

Answer 4

Hahaha...

Well, it's because people started portraying clowns as evil and scary. That's why you feel this way. Just like barbie dolls.

Yikes, I don't like them either.

:)  

Answer 5

i didn't like clowns to but when i heard "the candy spooky theater" (its a japanese rock bands that are gothic clowns) everything change !!!

but yea i understand it could be some petifial (dont know if i spelled that right)

Answer 6

Are you talking about those performing at the circus or those that in real life?

If they cost you no trouble in your live and bring a lot of laughter`s, why not.

Answer 7

And you could be right !

If the person behind the makeup is hiding, or using the makeup as a "come on "

I love clowns ( the good folks) because they want to make others laugh and feel better for the moment . I guess it is the motivation behind the wearing of the makeup that makes the difference

Un fortunately some people do not have the ability to sense when a 'clown ' in not genuinely just clowning around for the laughs.

Children would be vulnerable to a pervert like this .

Answer 8

People tend to be scared of clowns because the make-up utterly obscures facial features and emotional expression leaving us suddenly clueless. That's why it's such a common fear, up there with once-dangerous things like spiders, snakes and heights. It's a genuine worry.

Not so much that their a pervert, but that you have no signals from them with which to predict their behavoir. There's been a lot of study on it.
