Clown sightings: hysteria in the US reaches a fever pitch

I'm strongly against our photo contest site participating in the hysteria that is widespread and growing. It's dangerous. Someone may be seriously hurt. <<<("...rational reason not to have a clown challenge") Okay? Why not wait until the hysteria subsides, or, are you all interested in feeding the hysteria while the subject's hot? Go for it next Spring or mid-Summer. Or, better yet, go for a side-challenge.


Because the subject is hot-its a good time to explore it. I agree that we should NOT all dress as clowns and take pictures on the edge of the woods.

You have created enough of a controversy to put doubt in heads that matter, and squashed it, so don't worry.

You could make it Clowns Without Humans ... or just wait for the brouhaha to fade away ...

It's a dangerous time to incite violence. Just leave the clowns off DPC, until societies and terrorisms calm down. It's not funny!

the clown, the fool, the jester has always been a necessary part of society and the dark side an inevitable one.

so yes. ignore the clown at your peril. banishment not an option.

Monsters, real and imagined. Standard editing.
oh no! Don't chicken out!


Much better!


I know its better, but after thinking about it, I really don't see what is wrong with having a clown challenge.

Can't you see it plays into a fake hysteria about the fears in our collective imaginations, fueled by ridiculous doom and gloom authoritarian demagoguery?

Either one is find, but just as long as we all agree there is no rational reason not to have a clown challenge.


I'm still for a clowns challenge. No description needed.

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

Good clowns don't have a monopoly on clowning and never have.

Maybe instead of clowns just make it a Halloween speed challenge?
