Coulrophobia

http://www.phobias-help.com/clown_phobia.html provides the following information for clown phobia, otherwise know as coulrophobia:
"Because clowns have permanent exaggerated expressions painted on their faces – usually of joy, but sometimes of sadness, it renders the observer impotent in measuring facial expression as a precursor of action.
Therefore, for those who are mindful of their environment, possibly due to past traumatic events, they are unable to interpret and accordingly predict what this strange creature may do to them.
This fear or clown phobia is heightened when we observe the “happy clown” performing some aggressive behaviour, tripping someone or spraying water from an innocuous looking flower in the lapel.
It becomes too much to cope with and causes tremendous confusion and fear."

I am not that observant to first impressions or body language. I guess that is why I do not suffer from coulrophobia.
Scott Redford's (not me) work is on display at Brisbane's Institute of Modern Art.
I tried to find more images of gay clowns and sexy scenarios but apparantly there is a whole organization determined to end clown porn. It's complete censorship with the aim at ending the abuse clowns recieve from the publicity of those clowns who do porn. They seriously are mad.
The following picture has my opinion, "equal love. equal rights" for clowns and everyone else.
