Depends. Were they pirate clowns? Admittedly, shooting those increases global warming. But if they were mimes - well, much as some of them are cute, they deserve to die.

columbia? obviously, they were "drug clowns," hence their death at the hands of the cartel. (if this winds up being true, then...i guess i'm not joking after all).

Comedy, tragedy. Either way it's theater.

Maybe the clowns scored an auto goal during the big Clown College soccer game.

I guess some gangster's lackey misinterpreted, ".. and I want you to bust a cap in those sucka ass clowns"

I hope they were those Insane Clown Posse-type clowns. Those fuckers are annoying.

They were the "crying on the inside" type of clowns.

"They were the 'bleeding on the outside' type of clowns."

Fixed.

Let's play "Funny/Not Funny"

Remember when the Nazis used to crack down on mimes? Yeah, we're back in those times.

La Commedia e finita.
