Do you hate clowns?
I had no idea that there was a word for those who have an aversion to clowns: coulrophobic.

So... If you hate clowns...

1. coulrophobic..that's interesting..
I don't like clowns, I find them creepy.. :scared:

I don't really like any kind of costumed character coming up and trying to get a reaction from me.

27. I'm with you on that
When I read the title of this thread the first thing that came to mind was how much I hate mimes. Almost as much as bush. Well, not that much, but you get the idea.

6. I despise them too, and....
those moronic sport mascots. Revoltingly infantile.Mimes are just barely OK saw one in Brussels that was drawing a crowd.
BTW, there wasn't a person in Europe (and I spoke with dozens), NOT ONE, that supported the US on Iraq.

7. My first attempt at starting a religion here on DU
had a hatred of clowns as one of the central beliefs:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the clowns and the tyranny of clownish men.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the clowns.

For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost cotton candy and large shoes.

And I will strike down upon clowns with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to juggle and twist balloons into unholy shapes.

And you will know I am the Dingbat when I lay my vengeance upon clowns.


More details here. I may try again. ;)

8. Just the evil, sadistic clowns who are actually mass murderers in disguise
I don't have a problem with the regular clowns, but I'm not sure how to tell the difference.

20. Always disliked clowns, even as a child. And then when I saw
the clown in the Stephen King miniseries "IT," well, now I hate the damn things.

30. One thing I've never understood
Have you ever noticed that in a significant proportion of ghost stories or stories about toys that are evil (both real and fictional), clowns seem to feature predominantly?

Why is this? What is it about a clown or a clown toy that is associated with evil or ghosts?

31. A clown ate my kid sister...
but I have learned to forgive, and now love clowns.

It's those little cars I hate. And seltzer bottles.
