A recent study says 100 % of kids are AFRAID OF CLOWNS!
Bad news for Coco, Bozo, and Blinko the clowns! A recent study says 100% of children dislike clowns and most of them are even afraid of them!
The news that will no doubt have clowns shedding tears was revealed in a poll of youngsters by researchers from the University of Sheffield who were examining how to improve the decor of hospital children's wards. The study, reported in the Nursing Standard magazine, found all the 250 patients aged between four and 16 they quizzed disliked the use of clowns, with even the older ones finding them scary.
We're putting this whole KIDS HATING CLOWNS study to the ultimate test. We're sending our intern Ballsy Brian out as a clown to really find out if kids are afraid of clowns!
