Clownpocalypse: Clown Sightings Spread to Florida, Virginia and Colorado
Heatstreet ^ | 4:00 pm, September 27, 2016 | By Emily Zanotti

Reports of “killer clowns” have emerged in three new states, as Virginia, Florida and Colorado struggle with Internet rumors and reported sightings that have left several towns shaken.

Residents and authorities in Palm Bay, Fla., have been on high alert since a resident reported seeing two “creepy clowns” staring at her from across a road as she walked her dog. And in Marion County, Fla., deputies are concerned after it emerged that a Facebook viral video, depicting a clown standing silently on the side of the road in the dark, had been filmed along a main thoroughfare in the area.

The video has more than a million views on Facebook.

In Henrico County, Va., a mother and daughter captured a “creepy clown” leering at them from another car during rush hour.

They’re probably just confused transvestites who haven’t quite figured out how to choose and apply make up.

The local sheriff should call a press conference and demand that the locals in the woods who are hunting down these clowns with guns, axe handles and sledge hammers should stop immediately and go home.

Two days later announce a slightly different message.

Wait ‘til Halloween.

Clown outfits will probably outsell Trump masks.

(I’ll be wearing my Trump mask under my “Make America Great Again!” hat.)

Never speak with a clown inside a storm sewer.

That’s one of my basic rules.

“Do these people even know that there was no such thing as a clown phobia until Steven King made his B movie?”

I’ve not liked clowns since i was a kid in the 60’s. Patent falseness about them.

BTW, Steven King’s “It” didn’t start general clownphobia in the 80’s. I’d wager it was John Wayne Gacy’s face in the 70’s (those vacant eyes, under happy clown makeup) on the nightly news.

Right you are! In fact, he was the first RM in tv ads:

Seems as if ‘ol Willard got typecast in his earlier days.

I hope you mean you get a lot of correcting people about the details in King's book there or you'll have Chris Hansen paying you a visit!

At any rate, that part wasn't in the 1990 tv miniseries adaption, which was infinitely superior to the book.

In the upcoming remake Pennywise looks like a crossdresser:

It looks like a faggot i would have seen at Limelight in the city 25 years ago.

Speaking of “Adult” prostitutes, my friends and I were going to a club in brooklyn. There were hookers around still before Rudy got rid of them all.

One friend decided he wanted to die of a venereal disease and visit one of the “ladies” before going into the club.

He was gonna take his car. I told him “rudy will take your car moron”

So he just walked across the street, figuring (rightly) that she would have a room nearby.

He gets half way across the street when some mope in a truck pulls up to her and three Cop Cars SWOOP DOWN.

He came back to us pale as a GHOST.

Saved his car, his clean police record, his soul and his death from HIV all in one night. Should have been more grateful.

Yup. That lady of the evening could have led him to many more horrific evenings laying dying in an AIDS ward.

The Bozo that I remember as a kid in Chicago was a racist creep, with his two sidekicks Sandy and Oliver always the butt of his pranks and forced to clean up after him, speaking with an obvious negro accent. Of course, I thought it was all hilariously funny back then, but looking back as an adult, it really wasn’t.

Well, I’m assuming that was quite awhile back. People weren’t as sensitive or as easily offended as they are now. It really wouldn’t have bothered me anymore than the cartoon animals getting all violent on one another.

I’m far from being politically correct. I think the crows in Dumbo were heroes, and Huckleberry Finn is one of the great works of literature, rivaled only by Falada’s Alone in Berlin. But looking back at the cheap stunts that Bozo put Sandy and Oliver through in the 1960s, I’ll bet when they were finally cut from the show they joined the BLA(;-).
