LONDON (Reuters) - Bad news for Coco and Blinko -- children don't like clowns and even older kids are scared 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.

A friend of mine; basically a grown man, (Well age wise that is. He hasn't grown since the 9th grade) is deathly afraid of clowns. Pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen was when we went to the haunted trail thing in the middle of nowhere Ohio, and they had a clown house. He was absolutely petrified. I was almost on the ground laughing.

I have a really good friend that is definitely scared to deaht of clowns. One time at the Erlanger Lions Carnival I had a clown come up and give balloons and trinkets to the kids. Well I took this clown over to where this guy was working and you thought I had a gun aimed at him. Oh well I still laughed about it afterwards and we went on with the fun. JD
