I have mentioned before that I hate clowns. I don’t really know where this hatred originated- I think sometime around the age of 12 or so- but I began to realize that clowns aren’t funny. They are creepy and menacing. The only time that clowns would be funny is if a big batch of clowns were attacked by ninjas. Or pirates. Or the ATF storming the “clown compound” with flame throwers.

But in this case, a clown was performing some wierd circus stunt, and there was a fall from a good height, followed by a crushing cage. Children were there to witness this final un-funny clown act.

Kids Watch As Clown Is Crushed to Death

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — A hot-air balloon caught fire during a circus stunt, killing a clown acrobat as dozens of children watched, police said Tuesday.

The accident happened Monday night as the Royal Russian Circus was performing in Scariff, County Clare, a village in western Ireland. About 100 people were in the audience, most of them children. Police said the clown was a 26-year-old man from Belarus but didn’t release his name.

Witnesses said the man, dressed in a clown outfit, was hanging from a cage suspended by ropes and a hot-air balloon inside the canvas tent. When the balloon exploded in flames, the cage fell on top of the man.
