Creepy Clowns

Every day it seems I read another story about creepy clowns scaring people. Are these sightings for real or just the latest hoax? If you read my blog with any regularity, you know that I love clowns and feel that they've gotten a bad rap due to evil clowns like John Wayne Gacy and Pennywise. Clowns used to be funny and cheerful and now they're evil and creepy. What a shame. Bozo could never make it in today's world.
