AMERICA — Clowns are too scary for Halloween. As clown fears and hysteria grip America, clowns are finding themselves banned from participating in Halloween festivities. Stores have pulled clown masks from their shelves. School districts, counties and festival organizers are banning clown costumes. You can’t even wear a fake red nose in public without being stopped and harassed in public. How did America find itself in such a pitiful state? How did America become so afraid? As the saying goes: you can judge a country by the way it treats its clowns. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
