How to stop the Menacing Clown problem.

PSA. CGI clown makeup on footage of Donald Trump hovering over Hillary in the debate.

“Is this cool? Is being a frightening clown cool?”

:smiley:

That’s my question – how many people have actually been arrested for menacing people (or even for just wearing scary clown costumes and standing around in a menacing way) as opposed to taking advantage of the clown hysteria to make threats via social media or phone calls or whatever?

This whole hysteria reminds me of a Spongebob episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPmzRa-sXQs

Personally, I can’t wait for the next craze and I hope it involves people dressed in taco truck costumes handing out free tacos.

Cecil’s timely column:

Yep, we thought it was time to address this.

The obvious thing to do when you’re menaced by a clown is to go for the jocular.

Wait-- he wasn’t? I was going to advocate shooting clowns on sight, then go take out Trump.
