No laughing matter

In May of 1981 children across America were reporting clowns who would try to force or lure them into vans. Though the encounters were frightening, the clowns never successfully kidnapped a single child. Soon the reports stopped, and the sinister clowns were never heard from again...until now.

    Clowns are never a laughing matter. Sinister fellows one and all.

    Dressing as a clown to lure kids? That's like dressing as a wolf to lure deer. It's not going to work.

    John Wayne Gacy did have a son, you know. You'll note that the article is from Chicago.

    Did Gacy ever perpetrate crimes while in costume? I never knew he had a son, but I know one of his employees became a notorious serial killer.

    I think the explanation for the phantom clowns lies elsewhere. They have never physically hurt anyone, none of their vans have ever been identified or found abandoned, police have chased them without sucess.

    What are we doing talking about Clowns when the real menace are Gnomes. See http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/weird/article1817406.ece and http://arbroath.blogspot.com/2008/03/little-person-dressed-as-gnome-stalking.html. Someone should talk to Judge Floro about this.

    If you want to talk to the Judge go right ahead.

    Since you like gnomes, you should look up the video clip of a leprechaun in a tree.

    The final nail in the coffin for clowns is that E-TRADE commercial with the talking baby who spends his earnings renting a clown and find he "really underestimated its creepiness."

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical...

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
