He Sobs Quietly to Himself in the Corner

Do the clowns of the world really need to give us another reason to hate them? Apparently the Clowns from the San Francisco Clown Conservatory’s 2008 Graduating Class think they do. You see these clowns have a mentor, a mentor who is suffering the crippling effects of multiple sclerosis, a mentor who will undoubtedly need financial assistance as the disease progresses, a mentor who wishes to help prevent others from suffering her fate. The 2008 graduating class has decided to start a non-profit fund up in the name of their mentor, a noble gesture indeed. However non-profit funds don’t simply come with a limitless bank account, the clowns had to brainstorm a fundraiser to get the ball rolling. How could they use their skills of merriment to help finance the fund? Volunteer their income from 1000 kids’ birthday parties? Do live circus shows and pass a hat to the audience? Sell balloon animals on the weekends? All of these ideas simply pale in comparison to the fundraiser they chose…a 2009 Naked Clown Calendar. Here is just a sample of the goodness.



I assume that you are finished scrubbing your eyes out with steel wool by now.

Here are a couple of clips that prove every now and then the pressure of a deadline can not only make TV writers write wacky things but cause producers give them the green light.

It is just best if you try to forget this video as soon as possible, because trying to figure it out would cause your head to explode ala Scanners style.
