Why Grown-Ups are Afraid of Clowns

1. Batman-numerous clown villains
2. Parents force their children to take pictures with clowns and traumatize them
3. Parents think babies like to look at exaggerated facial features that are covered with red and white make-up
4. There are unethical clowns who allow these maniacal parents to take pictures of them and said parents' screaming child
5. Batman-seriously have you seen "The Dark Knight?" The Joker is terrifying!
6. Whitefaced clowns. They're snobby about their white nostrils.
7. It's the cool thing to do. (Teenagers are highly irritating at these parties. You're not really afraid of clowns if you go tell the wife who's standing right next to him. You're on the other side of the room cowering.)
8. Batman-The Riddler has probably caused someone some sort of trauma
