I hate clowns.  The creep me out in ways I can’t quite describe.  There’s just something about them that brings out a true primal fear in me.  People used to laugh at me, but I’m evidently not the only one to have this fear.  It even has an official sounding name (though I don’t think mine is bad enough to be called a phobia).

Scary clowns can be funny though, it seems.  A friend showed me the new Wal-Mart clown ad and I just about peed myself laughing.  So, below are some of the best clown ads I can find!

E-Trade Superbowl Ad

USPS Flat-Rate Ad

Newest Wal-Mart ad

I’m fairly convinced that 90% of the people who work in advertising are high as a kite while at the work place. Either that, or it’s actually a very small minority that is high, and they just happen to be the ones making most the ads we see. Maybe they’re cheaper, I don’t know.

I know I’m not the only one who’s thought that, I’m sure. I’m sure not the first person to bring up how dumb some ads and logos and such are. A great example would be a couple strips from Real Life Comics by Greg Dean

It so happens that certain Native American tribes are allowed the use of peyote for religious ceremonies since they’ve already been doing so for thousands of years.  I honestly wonder if there are other laws that protect people in certain occupations in a similar manner.  Something along the lines of “All bonafide advertising agencies may enjoy the use of crack cocaine for inspirational purposes.”
