So uhh, clowns got feelings too.
Just out of curiosity, is there anyone on the Forum who is, or knows a member of, this profession? I'm wondering what the reaction to the whole coulrophobia thing is, especially in light of the random sightings that took place last year (my personal take on that is it was some sort of viral marketing that went really bad, because if it genuinely was the work of pranksters, those morons deserve to get their tails kicked).
Just to give a little context to my question: I live in the Caribbean and while we do have clowns at parties and similar events, this whole picking-on-clowns thing isn't a big deal over here. If anything, Stephen King's book actually made clowns more popular rather than less. Just wondering what the general feeling is out there, and whether people's perception of the scary-clown stereotype has been influenced in any way by pop culture phenomenon like King's work.
