Evil Clown Altered Thought Processes Lead To Magical Thinking

Quality Of Life Begins In Your Mind
I’m my therapist’s office one night; to kill time I read a book about Clinical Intervention. The slow, frequent but irregular light from passing cars gives plenty of light to read by if you are not in a hurry.

Later, as I go over the things on the desk and shelves, I wonder what it must be like working with psychopathology everyday. All the book titles are depressing and boring. Their spines sharp and pointed.

I check the plant and it seems adequately watered and in overall good condition. But it is thickening a bit much to one side; I give it an eighth of a turn so it gets light from a slightly different angle.

There is a large and small pad of paper and two sizes of post-it notes. I lightly sweep the surfaces of each with a pencil to expose writing from the sheet before. I careful fold them away for later.

I wonder, what drives someone to do this? You’re helping people, but being surrounded by psychos all day?

Holding up a few pieces of mail to the window hints at mundane correspondence from associations, conferences and a Nonviolent Crisis Intervention workshop.

I think I am aware that this is not appropriate.

Scanning a workbook with pages earmarked, I see that I have nine or ten of twelve of the relapse flags. I wonder if I should mention it at the next session?

All the staff have finally gone and the cleaners left hours ago. I’m nervous about the lock on the files, it’s giving me trouble. I can get it open without a problem, but it would be obvious. I’m at the point of yelling, I have that tension like stone in my muscles and I’m breathing through gritted teeth. I try to concentrate, but I can’t relax.

I don’t want to leave a mess or rifle everything to make it look nice and random. Suddenly, I’m so exhausted. I just need to sit and think.

I take a swig and then more. I’m real careful about not spilling and I always us plastic instead of glass. But I’m not even loose enough to unclench my teeth.

A car passes obnoxiously loud and for a moment I see myself surreally reflected in a glass frame and mixed with the picture behind. My lips stretched wide exposing teeth and gums, my face half lost in some pleasant pastel icon, one eye staring wildly, the other shifts transitorily out and in of darkness.

I wonder what drives someone to do this and my gritted teeth twist into a grin.

Technically I think it is a ‘Sensory-Perceptual Disturbance’ and I laugh like a wounded animal.

It is really time to go.

Evil Clowns Remember That Halloween Is Everyday

Sucking Upon The Memories Of Others Is Dark, Elusive And Entirely Fitting

Trying to relive the spirit of this song I Roamed the Blogplains in search of the memories of others.

This picture cribbed from Frostyland because we are thinking of the same song and because I can't seem to upload today. Have I already exceeded my allotment? I must query the Ministry:

(Everyday is) Halloween
well i live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the
night cos to me everyday is halloween
i have given up hiding and started to fight
i have started to fight well any time,
any place, anywhere that i go all the
people seem to stop and stare they say

'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene'
o, why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me it's
the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

well i let their teeny minds think that they're
dealing with someone who is over the brink and
i dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday it's everyday o,

why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me it's
the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
o, why can't i live a life for me? why should i
take the abuse that's served? why can't they see
they're just like me i'm not the one that's so
absurd why hide it?

why fight it? hurt feelings best to stop feeling
hurt from denials, reprisals it's the same it's the
same in the whole wide world

Ministry, 1985. (Everyday Is) Halloween, 12" Singles (1985).

Other Peoples Interesting Memories Include:

I miss my days nights in Berkeley, the white face paint, the trench coat that didn’t cover much chock full of toilet paper, squirt guns, rice and such. I miss my black leather steel-toe fuck-me boots and my black and white striped stockings. I miss my genderless friends and the 7-11 that was always closed when the movie let out...

... I don’t think I’m so far as looking down my nose, but I certainly have discovered, or rediscovered what I listen to in the eighties. They were dark, and illusive as smoke, but I liked them – I wore them well.

Evil Clown Dresses As Dead Kennedy To Resurrect Halloween Spirit

What's Halloween Without Vengeful Spirits And Mood Music?

Here's a song to have on hand if you are asked for a 'Trick' before you get your 'Treat' at the door:

So it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose

Whatcha gonna be
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day

Better plan all week
Better plan all month
Better plan all year

You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that

I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby nothing's changed
(repeat)

You're still hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on

After Halloween

You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow
Shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months

Remember what I did
Remember what I was
Back on Halloween

But what's in between
Where are your ideas
You sit around and dream
For next Halloween

Why not everyday
Are you so afraid
What will people say
(repeat)

After Halloween

Because your roll is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and see it through
But what will your boss say to you

And what will your girlfriend say to you
And what will people out on the street they might glare at you
And whadya know, you're pretty self-conscious too

So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass.

Brilliant and Profound Unfallen Clown Decodes Fearful Symmetry

Well Tempered Critic Clowns His Own Eminence

A Master of Myth and Metaphor and the Double Vision of Language, Nature, Time, and God is regarded and remembered as a towering figure.

By most.

In a book there is a chapter about Frye. It is a compendium of Eulogic commemoratives. One particular letter has been helpful pointed to me.

It describes an encounter with Frye at a book launch party. Formally seated next to Frye the author briefly describes their initial lack of conversation, Frye’s shy social nature and the parade of visitors paying their dutiful respects to ‘Professor Frye’.

“You get ‘Professor Frye-ed’ a lot.”

“Yes,” he replied with soft weariness, “constantly.”

“Want to make it stop?”

“Oh yes.”

I held a bright red clown nose in the palm of my hand.

“You think?”

“Mmmm.”

He put it on.

“Does it look silly?

“Yes,” I said quietly, “of course.”

He began diner.

The ‘Hi Norie’s’ began and the Professor Frye’s ended.

“Um . . . may I . . . keep it?”

“Sure…”

They had a fine conversation on the clown tradition in different cultures and ‘Norie’ remained in the nose all evening.

N.B.: Text Abstracted from the wonderful letter of Gale Garnett, Toronto, Canada. The book is P. Gzowski, 1991. The Fourth Morningside Papers. McClelland & Stewart.

I found this little interlude reveals his clown nature. He understood the necessity of the clown to undermine the imagined order and to his credit he had the ability to do it to himself.

Northrop Frye in the Fables of Identity is remembered as a:

Distinguished and ground breaking Literary Critic

Thoughtful Theologian

A Minister Unto the people

A Clown

Pills the Clown is Scrying the cafe

Here is a clown that takes the game of exquisite corpse to a sideways dimension

Unable to full filter the surrounding din he channels the first words to stumble like drunks into his consciousness onto google: See the amusing line dancing results here:

Pills the Clown: Scrying the cafe.

Keep it in mind the next time you have sensory overload in a public place full of the jabbering of gibbering mouths. If you are drowning in the dimension of sound, grasp at a handful of verbal straws and Scry them. The results may be amusing but are always alluminative by nature.

America Might Be Evil, But Man – What A Pair Of Legs! - Litotes The Clown

Who’s the Evil Clown again?

Cory McDonald AKA Mr. Twister the Clown used to walk around ahead of the parking patrol and put money in peoples meters so they wouldn’t get ticketed.

Q: Good Clown OR Bad Clown?
A: Illegal Clown Activity must be punished regardless of the moral, ethical or aesthetic intentions of the perp.

All Boys and Girls Know That No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

This kind of Samaritan neighborly behaviour was intolerable to the local jackboots of uniformity enforcement. Ticket loving Cops found a law that requires only the driver ante up the monopoly tax.

“Daddy can I put the money in?”
“Sorry honey, I wouldn’t want you to go to prison for inability to pay the fine now that you allowance is cut off… besides,it’s against the law.”

Twister was fined for ‘interfering with parking enforcement’.

In a quixotic moment the clown fought city hall.

The council killed the bylaw while wearing clown noses.

Twister became a local folk hero and a small victory was won over the forces of stupidity, pettiness and dumb laws.

The Fuzz was furious over lost revenue and being made to look stupid, petty, intolerant, money grubbing and mean spirited on a national level.

The law is not believed to have been applied before or since.

The real lesson here is that parking meters, fines and their enforcement are designed and need to make the public fail.

Gun Wielding Evil Clowns Rob Doughnut Shop

Descriptions Of White Faces, Red Noses And Wide Grins Is No Help To Police

Two clowns hit the family-owned 'Henry's Donut Shop' Wednesday morning, and they're still on the loose.

A. Zepeda, October 20, 2005, http://www.komotv.com/stories/39838.htm

EVERETT - Think of clowns, and birthday parties or circus rings may come to mind -- not gun-wielding robbers.

But that was the case in Everett Wednesday morning when two armed clowns hit a doughnut shop.

In full clown make up with red noses, two men walked into Henry's Donut Shop and locked the door.

The owner was alone, her husband on his way.

"He took the gun and told me, 'not to move.' He wanted money," said husband Be Le, who also sells Vietnamese sandwiches at the shop.

Le's wife showed the clowns the cash register, but they had something else in mind.

"He didn't want it. He wanted money inside," said Le gesturing toward the back of the shop.

The clowns forced Le's wife to open the safe in the back room. They got away with $300-$400 before running out the back door.

Obviously the description of white faces, red noses and wide grins is no help to police.

That's what worries regular customers.

"I'd hate for something like this to happen to them again, because I know it's a family-owned business and you have to be sympathetic to that," said customer Sue Jon. "This is their livelihood."

Neighboring businesses are now taking extra precautions.

"Like this morning I was alone, I didn't unlock the door until 10," said hair salon owner Kathy Little. "I just kept my eye out for customers."

Developing An Evil Clown Reputation For Pun And Frofit

It's All In The Wrist Balloon Boy

Clowning is accessible because it costs nothing to start. It’s as easy as being a therapist: Just tell people “I’m a clown” or hang up a shingle and your in.

Total lack of accreditation leads to nonexistent quality control – but don’t worry, the industry has plans to police itself.

Here are some common questions you may be asked – be sure to have your answers memorized in advance.

Q: How many clowns does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Shut your pie-hole, I’m telling the jokes here, oh, and I slept with your mother.

Q: Did you get laid off before becoming a clown or just quit?
A: Shut your pie-hole, I’m telling the jokes here, oh, and I slept with your mother.

Many clown schools have popped up. This is because it is more lucrative to sell hope than work for a living.

They usually have standards, certificates from a laser printer and may give a ten minute talk on professionalism or ethics.

Reality is an Evil Clown’s most important intangible asset. Be sure to list it on all financial documents and in loan applications.

Remember a reputation can’t be bought, but it can be easily borrowed or left as a lifeless husk on a moment’s notice – a fringe benefit of working in an industry where the dress-code is a disguise.

Confounded Clown Midget Pictures

PentWhistle And The Evil Clown Cavalcade

I have just recently learned from Professional Whisperers that there are a disturbing and growing number of Internet Lurkers seeking Clown Midget Picture Purveyors.

I am off to investigate; and if possible profit. If I am rejected for the operation, I am used to standing on my knees for long periods of time.

The investigation is cutting into my time, so the moment has come to introduce a tribute.

Queue PentWhistle:

I have been following PentWhistle’s Blog ‘When Clowns go Bad’ @ http://chaoticclown.blogspot.com for some time now.

PentWhistle describes herself as a ‘madcapped clown-about-town, looking for laughs, laughing at looks. What?’

The commentary and content is insightful and wide-ranging. PentWhistle thinks about Evil Clowns a lot.

I recommend that you keep an eye on her.

Sample work includes, but is not limited to:

What's so Evil about Evil Clowns - addressing the evil clown phenomenon

How to Recognise an Evil Clown - A Thesaurus for the sore us

A Clownwork Orange - The Chief Character and Clown Culture

In one blog she asks:

Why do we need him? Why has he come among us? What message has the Joker wrapped up in a twisted turn of his crimson grin?

Good Question.

PentWhistle is seriously and mockingly looking for answers, I read with avidity.

Evil Clown Best Know For His Roles As Dummy And Cross Dressing As A Grandmother

What is 'it'? Life? Circumstances? Existence in its sublime absurdity?

I find it remarkable.

I am going to use Barry (right), likely very unfairly. I am not naming him or thinking directly about him, but his act and his picture have got my mind churning somewhat on the use of a disguise as a disguise. Let me complicate.

If you have inclinations or happinesses that are not socially running at a premium, it occurs to me, as it must occur to others, that one might be able to slip past the rope by slipping on a red nose and a little makeup and after a deep breath and a stiff drink overplaying your secret desire In Front Of God And The Whole World.

If you get the tone and timing just right, the crowds will adore not abhor you. This is closer to the real deep magic of the Clown - not the hedge magic of card tricks. This is where the Clown begins to meet the Magician of the tarot and of mythology.

Eddie Murphy's Raw (1987) video was a huge retailing success in the early years of VCRs. His success was partially fueled by his high octane brand of homophobia and red leather.

He also made light of a lot of painful sounding memories such as abuse and alcoholism.

He could make people laugh so hard that they’d cry.

For a moment he was the funniest clown on the planet.

But it wasn’t Eddie that started me in this direction…

Meet Barry Lubin, 2002 Inductee Into The International Clown Hall of Fame

Barry Lubin began touring with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1975. He teamed with Jim Tinsman in performing Schnitzel-a ventriloquist routine. The two of them were the first American clowns invited to compete in the Monte Carlo Circus Festival performing that routine in which Barry, who is small, performs as the ventriloquist’s dummy. However, Barry is best known for playing his "Grandma" character.

While with the RBB&B circus in the ‘70’s, Barry was given the rare opportunity to work in the stands throughout the entire show. From 1983 through 1987, and again in the 90’s, Barry joined the cast of the Big Apple Circus. The trio, Michael Christensen, Goeff Gordon, and Barry Lubin, became one of the most acclaimed circus clown troupes. In Acrobats of the Soul, Ron Jenkins wrote: "The trio created an exciting style of ensemble clowning that is rare in modern American Circuses. Their comedy was deftly integrated into the context of the circus acts that surrounded them."

Barry has been featured several times on Big Apple Circus posters and program covers. After Barry left the circus, he teamed with Dick Monday performing Schnitzel and other routines. The pair was part of Disneyland’s Circus Fantasy performance, the Royal Hanneford Circus and the Great Circus Parade Festival. Barry also taught at RBB&B Clown College.

Everyone Loves A Clown - But Which Kind?

Evil Clown Origins:
Some Are Evil
Some Become Evil
Some Are Driven Evil
Some things need no embellishment:

There are certain things one should never do in a clown costume.

Drinking alcohol is one; telling off-colored jokes is another. Swearing, smoking, and behaving distastefully round out the list.

It’s known as the clown code of ethics, and it’s just part of the clown curriculum taught by Spanish Springs resident Teddy Bear for Truckee Meadows Community College.

“Most people think that clowns are just clowns, but there’s a lot to it,” said Bear, who goes by the clown name “Huggie Bear” and is a retired telephone operator and mother-of-two.

“It’s not a good idea to just wing it.”

So students in Bear’s class go beyond the basics of juggling, balloon tying, and puppets.

At the evening lessons hosted by Reed High school, they learn to keep their hands on a child’s shoulders if they get hugged, and to aim for the chin — not the nose — when they throw a whipped cream pie. The do’s and don’ts of costumes and make-up are covered in detail.

By the time the five-week class ends this month, her eight students will know better than to repeat the mistake Bear made when she took up clowning 23 years ago. Her first clown costume combined a casual sweatshirt and cut-off pair of jeans with a white-painted face.

“Which was all wrong,” Bear laughed.

“The white-face clown is the elegant clown. You’re supposed to wear dress clothes.”

Bear opts for less fussy outfits herself, sporting bright hats and suspenders, subdued clown make-up, and a straight blue wig. But she tells her students that being a great clown requires more than a great costume.

“A Halloween clown is someone who puts on an outfit,” Bear said. “What makes a real clown comes from the heart. It’s a sharing of love. You have to love people.”

You also have to have skills to make it through birthday parties and street festivals. That can mean playing the guitar and singing, like Bear does, or tying balloons and juggling, or riding a unicycle while doing any of the above.

“You don’t want to do stupid things that are risky just for a laugh. You want to use educated skills,” Bear said.

Some of those skills can be more difficult to teach, like the keen instincts and social sensitivity all good clowns must have.

Clowns need to know when they are hitting the mark, Bear said, and when to back off. Particularly now that scary movies like Stephen King’s It have transformed the friendly clown into a frightful figure.

Bear recalls one man she approached at the Sparks Hometowne Farmer’s Market with a tied balloon.

“He just immediately panicked,” she said. “I really felt bad when I found out he really was terrified.” Kids with developmental disabilities are on the other side of the spectrum, Bear said. She has yet to meet one who didn’t adore her.

“They just love clowns,” she said. “They’ll grab onto you, and they won’t let go. You have to be very careful.”

Lucky for Bear and her students, most folks fall somewhere in between, and most children still believe in the magic of a clown.

“I just love their reactions; I love to see their eyes sparkle; I like to see them laugh.” Bear said. “They look at you like you’re a star.”

Evil or Innocent? Clown Fails To Find Anything Funny About His Name

Would You Let Randy The Clown Perform For Your Kids?

Sometimes mistakes occur.
Sometimes accidnets happen.
Sometimes a warning.

Lascivious

I'm sure the parents of Plainville are intelligent.

Lecherous

It is likely that the Plainville Recreation Department is staffed by competent people.

Characterized by frank sensuality

It is good that people take their jobs as seriously as the Plainville Pride at Work group.

Uninhibited sexuality

Newspaper editors in Bellingham have reasonable access to dictionaries.

Horny as hell

They do a criminal records check for these sorts of things, don't they?

Every Clown pays particular attention to their Clown Name:

- It will be your professional name
- It should not infringe upon an established clown in your area
- It should not get you sued by an overzealous corporation or brand-sharks with stables of lawyers looking to bill more hours
- It is often an extension of the character you want to play

In a world of symbols, abstractions and icons it is all too easy to project ourselves into the intentions, truths and morality of others.

See you there

Hay rides and games will be ongoing 3:30-5 p.m. in the town park, located behind the town hall on South Street (across from Cumberland Farms). Randy the Clown will be on hand designing balloon sculptures that will be given away to kids for free. There will also be free refreshments and candy bags.

Wounded Pride Leads Vengeful Clown To Behead 25 At Friendly Cove

Hell Hath No Fury Like An Evil Clown Scorned.

JJD*, Nootka Sound at Friendly Cove, March 1803.

Trade mission goes terribly wrong for Captain John Salter of the US ship Boston.

When the Boston arrived at Friendly Cove, Chief Maquinna had been trading with Europeans for more than two decades and he knew the drill.

Through hard work and cunning he had made his way up off the street. Through deals and arrangements, Maquinna had become the most powerful man on the East Coast, a man of respect, a man to do business with.

He greeted Salter, assessed trade possibilities and exchanged gifts. He was given a double-barreled rifle. With it he shot ducks and gave them to Salter as a matter of protocol. Maquinna and his warriors danced aboard The Boston to entertain their guests.

But one of the locks on the rifle had broken and Maquinna mentioned it to Salter. Salter assumed it had broken from misuse and called the chief a liar, a shmuck, a stupid fusking savage, etc. in front of his men.

Maquinna knew only some English, but knew he was being insulted and dishonored - he didn’t say a word.

Like Odysseus, Maquinna returns in the guise of a clown with a few friends to amuse the crowds before unleashing the slaughter.

Next day, Maquinna returned with some associates, bearing gifts. Everyone was happy, it was business as usual.

Maquinna wore a mask carved to resemble a fierce animal, they danced wildly and joked around for the crew then stayed for dinner.

Only two were spared.

The ship's blacksmith John Jewitt, instead of being decapitated accidentally had his skull split open and collapsed unconscious.

When he came to it was all over. Jewitt promised to be Maquinna's slave for life; fight for him in his battles; repair muskets and make knives. Maquinna let him live.

On the quarter-deck 25 heads of the Boston's captain and crew were arranged in a neat line on a thick lamina of blood. Each head was brought to Jewitt for identification.

John Thompson, the ship's sail-maker, was later found alive and spared after Jewitt claimed the older man was his father and threatened suicide if his ‘father’ was killed and reminding Maquinna that he would lose his services. Maquinna reluctantly spared Thompson.

The Boston was looted and scuttled.

You Might Be An Evil Clown Already

Don’t let them see that you are hurting, frightened and dying inside.

You know it’s all a sham or at least you are afraid that it might be. Is it paranoid to watch every look, listen to every word waiting for the hammer to fall?

Have you ever been accused, by yourself or others, of being emotionally unstable, insane or crazy? Do you go to meetings and only pretend to be there? Only pretending to take notes? Saying as little as possible? A mask of attentive interest?

Your painted face. The stench of lies. All you have to do is play ‘The Game’: be conventional, cultivate hypocrisy, always smile and never swear. Your own private little hell.

Clowns may have a glimpse of their own ugliness or of that of the larger world; they may somewhat knowingly struggle against it.

If they are cursed, they are as the idiot Cassandra, daughter of noble Priam; a seeress who knew the future and yet remained helpless to avert it; mocked into her grave by betrayal and murder. Jonah is her twin bother, he does prophesy and the people do believe, but God changes his mind and leaves Jonah high and dry on the deal.

Dispelling contradiction and hypocrisy makes all things possible, but is not allowed.

What does this do the mind? What does it do to the soul?

Colonel Walter E. Kurtz’s psychotic radio rantings intercepted by U.S. Army Signals Intelligence out of Cambodia during the Vietnamese – American War are more cogent if one acknowledges, at least for the sake of argument, that he is trying to reach ‘beyond [the] timid, lying morality [of politicians and the general staff]’.

It was observed that ‘The man [Kurtz] is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad.’

"They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write fuck on their airplanes because it's obscene!" said Kurtz.

Is this, then, true delusion and mental illness or simply a case of rational moral insanity?

Evil Clowns have a vicious internal seed that flowers outward into expressions of devastation.

Everyone laugh at the Angry Clown.

"Clowns always speak of the same thing, they speak of hunger; hunger for food, hunger for sex, but also hunger for dignity, hunger for identity, hunger for power. In fact, they introduce questions about who commands, who protests."

Orlando Clown Wows Judges By Playing With His Big Balls

Magicians, Dancing Teens, Twirlers And Jugglers Never Had A Chance When This Clown Revealed His Balls On Stage.

Reporter Julie Pace can’t get over their pendulous size or the masterful way he bounces them around to the throb of pulsating music:

Zipping up the suit and pulling on his hood, Helfrich carefully placed four rubber balls -- each more than 5 feet in diameter -- on the stage. As pulsating music blared through the speakers, Helfrich unleashed the talent he calls Big Balls, which consists of balancing and bouncing the balls, sometimes bouncing them off his body, sometimes bouncing his body off the balls.

What does it take to learn such a talent?

"A short attention span and a lot of time on your hands," Helfrich said.

Evil Clown Band Slipknot Furious At Parody

Notorious Drug Fueled Evil Clowns Fight To Protect Hard Earned ‘Brand’ Reputation From Soulless Corporation.

Corporate Fast Food heavyweight Burger King tried to awaken from its deep slumber recently with a Parody of Super Bad Band Slipknot. They sponsored a band called Coq Roq and launched a new chicken strip.

The Humane Society was not amused by the ‘Subservient Chicken’ overtones of the campaign and were disturbed by what they perceived as the promotion of cockfighting. Sauces include creamy buffalo, barbecue, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and ranch.

Campaign ads feature clips from music videos, including: "Cross the Road" and "Bob Your Head."

Lawyers are famous for their sense of humor; Slipknot representatives wrote a cease and desist letter and then the lawsuits got underway.

Chicken Fries Not In Keeping With Band’s Evil Market Position

Slipknot is well known for songs such as:

People = Shit!
The Heretic Anthem

They have worked hard to claim their market position and maintain their market share in the face of growing competition from imitators and new entrants to the market. Chicken strips are just not subversive enough, it seems, to increase their share of wallet among their primary target demographic.

When Burger King was asked to comment on its counter suit and the apparent bad taste of the Marketing Strategy they would only comment:

“Our delicious-nutritious thin chicken strips are coated with a tasty batter and served in a portable container with a built-in well for the delectable dipping sauce.”

Asked for comment on the Humane Society’s concern Burger King would only reply:

“The packaging is designed to fit into a car cup holder!“

“The suggested retail price for new BK chicken fries is $1.69 for a six-piece snack order, $2.69 for a nine-piece meal and $3.99 for a nine-piece value meal. Be sure to get the value price correct in your copy,” they admonished reporters.

Mime On Clown Action - Mime Cheats On Girlfriend With Clown

Mime After Mime is a catchy trip / love song / marketing ploy / tribute to loss of innocence and inevitable revenge.

For all those who have Loved and Hated:

Mime After Mime

Created by the beautiful, bitter and cynical minds at eStudio.com / www.blitzagency.com

The company is about ‘creating meaningful emotional relationships between buyer and brand.’

They pride themselves on getting their clients targeted market segment to ‘purchase more, shift perception faster, and deepen their brand awareness and loyalty – even with those who perceive branded anything as “the death of cool.”’

They are niche marketers targeting those who dislike marketing. This is done, in part, by deconstructing ‘cool’ and ‘marketing’ with irony, satire, postmodern winks, digs and risqué black comedy.

So their talent is to subvert subversion, or more properly to commercialize subversion, commodify it and sell it back to the those who are rejecting it.

Mime After Mime is ostensibly about Evil Clowns and their ilk, but the artistry of this slight of hand reveals eStudio.com to be magicians.

Ask yourself only; who are they laughing at? You, their clients or themselves?

Why Is This Man Wearing A Clown Face On His Crotch?

Does Nike Think This Kind Of Behavior Is Funny?

Subvert subversion to sell merde. As a near pure brand Nike has nothing to sell but… its… well… brand.

And brand is about lifestyle, aspirations and strong emotions.

Q: Which line of overpriced shoes represents who you are as a person?

A: All of them you shallow mindless fusker.

Nike is the winged Pagan Goddess of victory who runs and flies at great speeds. She is a shape-shifter that can appear in any guise.

But Nike is also part of the Modern Marketing Pantheon as the Deity of Brand.

How many supposed Christians wear this symbol, part Pagan God / part Secular God to church?

Greed, love of money, lust, envy?

When one child kills another child for shoes it is not only a travesty and a sin, it is a Blood Sacrifice on an Unholy Alter. This is the path of Sin that leads to Satan.

Who, but an Evil Clown, could work children in poverty like slaves to sell sacrilegious abomination to other children in a frenzy of greed, envy and Blood Lust?

They revel in their illicit and obscene profits and thrive on the chaos and moral emptiness they sow.

Who but an Evil Clown could market this scheme for their master Lucifer?

Who would defend the Devil with a straight face?

Nike even has its own Prayer – to itself!

It’s called a Brand Mantra. A mantra is a sacred Pagan verbal formula repeated in prayer, meditation, or incantation, such as an invocation of a God, a magic spell, or a syllable or portion of scripture containing mystical potentialities.

Nike’s is: Authentic Athletic Performance

It has even been suggested that 2 Nike executives contemplated getting a few of the shoe buyers killed at random to spur sales of their latest shoe. This is obviously expanding on kids getting mugged for their sneakers. [Paraphrased from Jennifer Government]

Now, ‘Michael Jordan mugged for sneakers’ is hilarious, this is not.

Evil Clown Markets Perversion For Profits

McDonald’s Japan replaces baggy-pants clown Ronald McDonald with a sexy teen clad in a skimpy red and white bikini, thigh high leggings, come pump me pumps, androgynous metrosexuals and cross dressing.

It is a mistake to assume that Evil Clowns’ primary purpose is to pervert or convert the innocence of children with ambiguous sexuality and corruption or that Evil Clowns are at war against Judeo-Christian culture for it’s own sake (the Japanese worship Foreign Gods).

Most often corruption and dissipation are sold in the guise of freedom and choice; Culture, history, tradition, morals or other aspects of our lives that we hold dear are just collateral damage or in the way of squeezing extra margin out of a happy meal.

This is not to say that there are not those who are selling lies that will destroy the country for its own sake, just that it does seem to be the case here.

The art and science of mind control that has been used to sell us audacious lies, obesity and diabetes will now sell you cross-dressing and metrosexuals in the name of a healthy diet.

An evil evil clown does not hesitate to proclaim the truth about these fraudsters: Truth is making its last stand in the minds of our children and an Evil Clown will stop at NOTHING to win.

Also, it is pretty clever to distract us with an apparent attempt at selling wholesome food to Cross-dressers & sodomites from legitimate concerns about Mad Cow Disease, union busting and food that doesn’t taste good.

Are we shocked and outraged by this move or do we barely notice?

Private Thoughts Of An Evil Evil Clown At Work

Litotes the Clown Journal Entry 2005-01-05

This morning Vile the Live Evil Clown (names are changed to protect the innocent / dead / consumed), in the freak show I call my life, mentioned ‘Dark Matter’ (see below) casually, was it a slip? He didn’t seem to realize that he said it. It was hard to tell. I didn’t want to look too closely or seem to look like I was looking too closely.

A little later Vile said ‘Cthulhu works through compression.’ Another slip? Or is he trying to judge my reaction? Ascertain my loyalties?

I kept my face blandly neutral and pretended I hadn’t heard. He watched me closely as he continued to talk about bandwidth, multimedia, etc. His attention was like a palpable radar. A physical force. Pinging me through the suddenly thick atmosphere.

In a war between vicious factions, it is sometimes best to seem to be too stupid to know what’s going on, to be ‘asleep’. To be a Clown. Sometimes the disguise is too perfect and while pretending to slumber – I sleep.

What happens to the Clown who can no longer tell where or when the dream begins?

I don’t know which side he is on, I must remain guarded and neutral. In a way it doesn’t matter – that he is in the game anyway is bad enough.

I hate this.

I must find a way; through the fog.

It’s like wonder being violated by a sense of fear and evil. Fear is by far the oldest and strongest of our emotions. Some believe that our biggest fear is of the unknown.

They are mistaken.

Our biggest fear is unutterable, even to ourselves. It is inevitably bound up with fascination and wonder. It is, in part, a machine in which collective insanity incinerates itself as a protective instinct.

It is a spectral tragedy spilling out of the mouth of madness. It is not the unknown – it is the unknowable.

Dark Matter

Material that is believed to make up (along with dark energy) more than 90% of the mass of the universe but is not readily visible because it neither emits nor reflects electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio signals. Its existence would explain gravitational anomalies seen in the motion and distribution of galaxies. Dark matter can be detected only indirectly, e.g., through the bending of light rays from distant stars by its gravity.

Cthulhu

'In His House at R'lyeh Dead Cthulhu waits dreaming, yet He shall rise and His kingdom shall cover the Earth.'

Cuthulhu is the chief deity of a secret cult (www.cultofcthulhu.net). The cult often masquerades itself as a hoax, a joke or fictitious religion. Though its seemingly harmless horror mythos of books, games and other culture products it seduces, corrupts and recruits new members.

Or put another way… A hoax that is presented as a hoax, that presents itself as a hoax, is no longer a hoax, but while an actual hoax is not presented as a hoax, neither is a work of fiction presented as a hoax -- but in the latter case this precondition for the hoax prevents it from functioning as a hoax. But then the "care & verisimilitude of an actual hoax" may create the suspicion in the reader that the tale is a fictionalized version of real events, and in effect an inverse hoax presenting reality as fiction rather than the other way around.

It would be as useless to perceive how things "actually look" as it would be to watch the random dots on untuned television screens.

Evil Clowns Make You Believe In The InComprehensible Or Die Laughing

Evil Evil Clown is being translated into Dutch and Catalan and will be available next year from Non Sequitur ‘It is Important and Intelligent’!

The world is full of intellectual clowns and impostors, but it is also full of Idiotsavants who think that modern French theory is a load of merde. Right or wrong, no clown with a sense of humour or justice will publicly disagree.

Superficial Erudition abounds as it always has. It is the sidekick of insight, a ‘cheap laughs’ mimicry, a foil trying to masquerade or emulate competence and almost failing.

If you encounter agents of obscurantism using highfalutin polemics to confuse, irrationalize or cast a dogma so weighty it collapses on itself – get ready for violence.

These clown theorists and art critics are most often phonies. Their pious belief in themselves and their vindictive epistemological claims exclude them from the ranks of benign jokesters and grifters.

It also means that they are likely to be recalcitrant zealots who, as intellectuals, will only understand violence or the imminent threat of violence. They are not unlike those poor unfortunates who are not able to conceptualize the consequences of their actions and immediate options and wonder why they are back in prison.

Though they often sound like clowns and take clown names, e.g.:

"Sexuality is fundamentally elitist"
- Leotard the Clown a ‘Famous French Finker’

"Language is impossible"
- Beaudrillard the Clown

They are not Clowns!

If, after careful analysis, their books or verbiage seem incomprehensible it is because they mean nothing!

If someone identifies themselves as a semiotic neocapitalist or proclaims or say they know:

- The precultural paradigm of context
- The absurdity of sexuality
- That preconceptualist stigmata of otherness deconstructs capitalist semioticism

Take immediate action:

- Laugh your ass off
- Applaud enthusiastically whenever you feel like it
- Gasping, wheeze ‘Wholly Merde, I get it. . . ”
- Mutter ‘brilliant brilliant’
- Look around the crowd smugly to see if other people ‘get it’

If the sodium pentothal is wearing off, slip on your clown knows and ‘Pie’ them.

The rest will be metahistory.

Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) - Perfectly paradoxical; grotesquely beautiful

Clownbatants Engage Royal Marines With ‘Divide And Fool’ Tactics

Evil Clowns Mock Armed Forces Recruiting


Clumsily cribbed and butchered from:
Sorry. The army isn't recruiting today. Its closed.

A very large and extremely un-amused commando from the Royal Marines tried to throw us out of the [recruiting] centre with the help of a growing number of police officers. But it's hard to move a rebel clown, they don't resist in a conventional sense, but tend to slip out of the clutches of authority like wobbly jelly and distract them from their duties with loud gaffaws and stinging mockery.

The more our pleas to join the army fell on deaf ears:
"Please teach us how to liberate people!"
"Where are the application forms? "
"Why can't we have really really big guns like yours?"

The more chaotic the scene in the recruitment office became. Very long sausage ballons started screaming across the space sounding like ammunition about to explode, sherbert filled toy aeroplanes did manic loop the loops over the RAF desks, one clown crawled around the floor polishing soldiers boots with his feather duster while another read out loud the latest communique from CIRCA … which detailed the absurdity of the so called "hand-over" of power in Iraq and announced the occupation of Leeds by CIRCA and the establishment of the Clown Provisional Authority.

Spot the clown

At one point a very long tape measure appeared and the clowns set up a competition to find the tallest policeman and the smallest protester, an exercise that ended with the clowns getting completely tangled in the tape and falling over.

Whenever the very slick mountain bike cops passed by, clowns would idolize their "cool" lycra shorts, sunglasses and shiny new bikes, causing the police on foot to smile and thus teasing out some of the internal tensions of the force - "divide and fool" being one of CIRCA's key strategies to rebel against the forces of coercive power!

CIRCA's combatants don't pretend to be clowns, they are clowns, real clowns.

Clowns navigate the trackless ether like void engineers under the scrutiny of the unblinking eye:

The first lie of insurgency is that it is everywhere and nowhere
They give resistance a funny face
Improvisation is insurgency
They do not want to change 'the' world, but 'their' world
Evil Clowns will always desert and disobey those who abuse and accumulate power
Because nothing undermines authority like holding it up to ridicule
Because fools are both fearsome and innocent
Because a clown can survive everything and get away with anything.

Run away from the circus: Join the forces of the clandestine insurgent rebel clown army!
