Scary Clowns

Scary clowns are terrorizing France!

"The threat of neighborhood clown gangs has provoked a grassroots response of teenaged self-styled clown hunters (chasseurs de clown), who have organized vigilante resistance groups, both online and in the streets. Some of these groupes d’auto-defense have themselves run afoul of police.

When five teens in Mulhouse attempted to organize an anti-clown resistance group⎯armed with a tear-gas canister, a baseball bat, a telescopic baton, and brass knuckles ⎯they were promptly arrested."

That's right, it's almost exactly like Gotham City Imposters (video at YouTube), "Countdown to Clown Beatdown!" or "Let's Kick Some Bats in the Balls!"  If you've never played the game, you can customize the catchphrases to your language, French or otherwise.

Clowning Around

This was a photo over a fireplace at The House on the Rock Inn. I don't know why it's so important to immortalize Ernest Borgnine posing as a clown, but apparently it is. His hand is suspiciously close to being in his pants and who knows if there's a hole in his pocketses.
