Clowns
from
around
the
world
are
falling
over
their
very
large
shoes to
protest
the
publication
of a
British
study
which
reported
that
children
don't
like
them.
The
findings,
published
in a
nursing
magazine
on
January
16,
2008,
has put
the red
noses of
the
clowning
community
out of
joint.
Clowns
say the
study
was
unfair
and
misrepresented
just how
popular
they
really
are. |

of the things you never
had time for, the health
benefits of unprocessed
food, clean air, and
exercise. |
