Remember the big clown story that hit the newspapers in January? It was a study, originally published in
Nursing Standard Magazine, that determined clowns were "universally disliked" by children. The story concluded that children's hospitals should not be decorated with images of clowns.
I saw this article published by various news agencies, and every time, it was accompanied by a photograph of some creepy Ed Gein-like clown. I can't help but wonder what types of scary clown images the children were shown when they were surveyed.
No wonder these kids said they didn't like clowns.
