I've noticed that all the cool kids like to say that they hate clowns. I think is because they have no sense of history. Once upon a time, clowns were supposed to be creepy. That sense of menace contributed to their effectiveness. Funny because they're creepy, cool kids-not in spite of. Somewhere along the line, though, there was a trend towards the sanitization of clowns. But you can't sanitize the menace that easily- clowns are grotesque, and efforts to cuddlify them only make them more so. So, no, I don't hate clowns. I rather like them, like I like Keane big-eyed kid paintings and songs like "Daddy's Hands"(Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´/Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong/Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle/But I´ve come to understand/There was always love in Daddy´s hands)- I get a kick out of any cutesified version of the horrid. Call me sick.
So, 2 clowny links for you:
I am redeemed, but not with hot dogs
