Thanks to Dan for the tip!

My favorite part was the amazing closing act with eight motorcycles in the Globe of Doom!

And the clowns weren’t too annoying either. In fact, one female chick was sorta hot and I really don’t know how to feel about that.

Triola hilariously spewed a venomous email at me way back in August of 2011 threatening a LOLsuit against me, but of course nothing came of it. This time, though, this clown who is hired by parents to entertain children, threatened me with physical assault, stalking and murder. Its true! The email said:

I thought you took the video of me off your article of a clown in Illinois who had kidding porn. But someone pointed out to me that it is still up. Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t believe I have ever met you in my life. I don’t know you. I have never done anything to you. I have not slept with your wife or hit and run your car or anything that would cause you to attack me. I have done nothing to you. So why are you doing this. If you would like to meet I will fly to where ever you are. Your ugly, out of shape and I could drop you like a bad habit. If your so tuff meet me. Lets do it. You don’t have the balls, you hide behind your computer like the wimp that you are. You were the kid that got beat up in school, the loser, the coward and your afraid to face me. By the way I did hire a lawyer. The problem is your such a loser you have nothing. I win the case, which I would, but you have nothing anyway. If your so worried about child molesters then why don’t you put a video up of the guy that did it. Your letting him get away. He can go on abusing children and just tell people just look on the Internet that’s not me in the video. Your a sick animal is what you are You better watch your back!

Don’t hire Downtown Clown. He threatens murder, plus he’s a creepy-ass clown.

From Denverpost here:

An animal rights group will pay Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus $9.3 million to settle a lawsuit the circus filed after courts found that activists paid a former circus worker for his help in claiming the circus abused elephants.

Courts later found that the animal rights activists had paid a former Ringling barn helper involved in the lawsuit at least $190,000, making him “essentially a paid plaintiff” who lacked credibility.

Two courts agreed the former barn helper, Tom Rider, wasn’t credible and didn’t have a right to sue.

The Vienna, Va.-based Feld Entertainment Inc. sued the animal rights groups and Rider in 2007, accusing them of conspiring to harm the company’s business and other illegal acts. The lawsuit claims the groups were working together with the goal of permanently banning Asian elephants from circuses. Twelve other defendants including The Humane Society of the United States, the Animal Welfare Institute and The Fund for Animals are still involved in the lawsuit

If you donate the these animal rights organizations, you are financing the harassment of American businesses, and are financing a lawsuit that gives the money to the largest employer of clowns on the planet. And I certainly had no idea the owners of the Ringling Bros. Circus were from a neighboring town.

From the NYPost here:

A 67-year-old man dressed as a clown went into cardiac arrest and died in front of throngs of horrified spectators at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday.

Robert Blasetti, 67, was with his wife, Irene, who was wearing a similar outfit and who desperately tried to revive him by administering CPR.

The tragedy happened as the two were making balloon animals at Sixth Avenue and West 39th St.

“All of a sudden he collapsed and fell on his back. People came to him right away. It didn’t look like he was breathing. People started pumping his chest,’’ said witness Tuvia Yamnik.

The onlookers weren’t horrified that the man dropped dead- they were horrified that he was dressed like a clown. And Pro Tip: When doing mouth to mouth on a clown, be forewarned: Clowns taste funny.

The entire horrific story is from FoxNews here:

What they found on Arnett’s computer was unlike anything some of the investigators had ever come across: long, graphic, online chats about his desire to abduct, kill and eat children. They said he had also made photos of a naked 2-year-old boy in a roasting pan inside his oven. The child and two other boys Arnett allegedly abused and photographed were later identified and found alive.

In July, authorities arrested four men they say had online discussions with Arnett about kidnapping and eating children. Those arrested included Ronald Brown, a children’s puppeteer from Florida (A YouTube video shows Brown during an appearance on a Christian TV kids show in the 1980s. In the video, he tells a child puppet that he did the right thing by refusing to look at “dirty pictures” some other youngsters tried to show him.)

In excerpts of an online chat between Arnett and Brown from 2011, the two men appear to be discussing their desire to cook a child for Easter.

“he would make a fine Easter feast,” Arnett says.

“yes, his thighs and butt cheeks would be fantastic for Easter,” Brown responds.

Prosecutors said Brown acknowledged his online conversations but said that it was all a fantasy and that he would never hurt anyone.

If you can, read the entire horrific article that details how a children’s toy and some good detective work led to the arrest of 42 of the worst pedophiles, one of whom admitted that he was now gay and a child predator because he was raped by scout master as a child.

Nothing says “Let me anally insert balloon animals into your child!” like Comic Sans and a clown costume.

From AOL here by way of Cathy:

An Arkansas clown was arrested Wednesday after a large amount of child pornography was found on his home computer.

Police traced the download to the Internet service provider of Thomas Harold Morgan, also known as “Sondance the Clown.”

There was “enough material on the computer that it would take [investigators] at least 2 or 3 weeks to go through.”

Morgan’s clowning website states that he has spent over twenty years working on his career. Being a clown, the website states, “is something deep inside.”

Here is your kid-touching nightmare fuel.

I don’t have an account at Ancestry.Com where this little nugget was discovered. I wonder how many other clowns have killed little kids in the 19th century?

The record is in the California Biographical Collection Burial Records according to Ancestry.com

I love how it scares the baby so badly. And now the baby will forever fear monkeys, which, like fearing clowns, may one day save your life.
