Clowning...

First off let me say that I am not one of those people (increasing in number, it seems) who professes to have a ‘phobia’ of clowns. Nor do I find them particularly sinister. I remember being mildly disturbed by Anthony Quinn in La Strada, but that’s another story…
However, when I saw this poster (it’s everywhere in our town at the moment), I couldn’t help but think that the artist, rather than trying to entice people to visit the circus, had set out to play on the fears of those sufferers of Coulrophobia.
It's coming to your town...
