drinking my morning coffee while watching the local news and i see a commercial for diet cranberry juice where a woman freaks out and kicks a clown three times in the face. then it helpfully says on the screen "yes you cran!" i laughed. made me think of other times i'd seen clowns mercilessly beaten, like when opus from bloom county went on trial for beating a clown with an olive loaf. made me wonder why our society is so anti clown and why its acceptable to physically abuse clowns and clown people. was wondering what gbs thought of this phenomenon and whether it's just in the u.s.a. or if clowns are beaten regularly in the rest of the world. if possible please include a/s/l in your replies for use in future research into clown violence.

Like you might as well have challenged someone to name a serial killer who named himself after the zodiac calendar or something!

In fact probably the single biggest contributor to the "anti clown culture" you speak of in the op is the fact that there was an extremely famous clown serial killer and it was unfathomably creepy! So that's pretty much the answer to your thread. Why do people beat up clowns? Blame John Wayne Gacy.

John Wayne Gacy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Wayne Gacy (March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994) was an American serial killer and sex offender who raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Gacy regularly performed at children's hospitals and charitable events as "Pogo the Clown" or "Patches the Clown", personas he had devised. He became known as the Killer Clown due to his public services as a clown prior to the discovery of his crimes.

“Oh, how sweet,” Marlene Warren said that Saturday morning in May 1990 when she saw a clown with flowers and balloons at the front door of her Wellington home. That was the last thing Warren, 40, said as she opened the door and was shot point-blank in the face by the clown, who was wearing an orange wig, red nose and a painted-on happy face. Her 21-year-old son, Joey Ahrens, ran to her as she collapsed in the doorway and looked the clown in the eye — deep brown eyes, he remembers. The killer sauntered away, climbed into a white Chrysler LeBaron that had no license plate and drove away. Marlene died two days later at Palms West Hospital. It's kind of a thing!

I like that really old tweet that is like: The best insult is saying "hey who's this clown?" Because not only are you calling them a clown but calling them not even one of the better known ones
