I do not understand the interest in clowns that are all messed up like that (symmetry wise). Don't worry, I know I am alone in this opinion so I will quiet myself and return to the shadows.

You aren't alone. And interestingly, there seems to be a slight loss in interest recently....but I think they are awesome!
