When Clowns Attack

So they're having problems with nasty clowns out in Seattle, it seems:

For several nights last month, a group of thugs with black hooded sweat shirts pulled tight over their heads, including at least one in "angry" clown makeup, terrorized visitors to Pierce County's Fort Steilacoom Park, police say.

The group cried "woo, woo, Juggalo" as they assaulted park visitors with a machete and fists. They stole cellphones, cash and wallets and even threatened to cut their victims' heads off, according to court documents.

So far, two men and a woman have been charged with robbery and assault for their alleged roles in the string of attacks, said Pierce County deputy prosecutor Phil Sorensen. Prosecutors say the suspects claim to be "Juggalos," a subculture that has developed among the fan base of the rap/metal group Insane Clown Posse.

Angry clowns? Insane Clowns? Psshaw. Mere shadows and pale caricatures of the one true Evil Clown in this world...

Bow down and worship!

Oh, heavens!

Those ICP (Insane Clown Posse) people are dead serious about their allegiance. The guys on somethingawful.com do whatever they can to incite ire by going on their message boards and ICQs and such. And it is some funny stuff.

But your clown? Yes, I respect the clown. May I be excused?

Bing--

Point of clarification, please. Is the clown insane or evil?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

So, then--mimes are eviller than pure evil?

Clowns are 100% evil.

Mime's are 150% evil. Evil concentrate.
