Subject: Re: Wal Mart Clowns

  For a while I wished not to comment about this topic, I had not seen the
commercial. But a few hours ago I saw it. I did not see anything that was
offending or something that would damage a clowns "reputation". I dont know
why everyone is making a big deal out of this. This is a repeat of the
Swallowing a 260 postings. Lets get mature here people. They showed two
employes dressing up as clowns and making balloon animals and then they said
something like "We do not really know what we are doing." or however that
went. I am sure that when all the people who saw this, they said to themselves
"Hmm, If this is what clowning is maybe we shouldn't hire one". Come on now,
most of us know that this is unlikely. They were tring to make a joke about it
but it didn't come out right. I have to agree that this was not funny but did
i think this was damaging the image of clowns? NO!! As allways I dont mean to
be offensive but lets think hard about a subject before we post on it.

Wishing you the best in the Holiday Weekend,
