Send in the cl....no don't

I mentioned before my dislike and distrust of all things clown related.

Now, it seems they are getting even more devious.
According to the article some of them are abandoning the usual uniform and not dressing as clowns.
This is worrying.
They may be out there, dressed in normal clothes. What if my clownysense (a bit like spideysense) goes on the fritz?
As the bumper sticker says- can't sleep clowns will eat me....
The article also says
"Being a clown is my way of giving a present to the world," said Marta Sanchez Sevilla, 40, of Spain. She's traveled the world with comic relief group Clowns Without Borders, including to Sri Lanka after the December 2004 tsunami.
"Sometimes I perform in hospitals, sometimes old people's homes, sometimes refugee camps," said Sanchez Sevilla, who plays a trouble-prone opera singer who finds all sorts of peculiar objects in her bra.
Not everyone thought she was funny, though.
"She was a bit like a zombie," 5-year-old Thomas said of the clown.

I have limited knowledge of 5 year olds, but from what I do know they are not that fussy when it comes to entertainment, and even they don't like these weirdos.
Please Buddha, Allah, God, Santa and the Easter Bunny, please make them stop.

p.s. anyone want to guess what book I'm reading at the moment?
there's a clue in the article.
