A good reason to avoid Mexico for 4 days

This is really scary.

"Clown convention opens in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- There was hardly room for all the big feet and rubber noses as hundreds of clowns from across Latin America opened a four-day convention in a Mexico City theater on Monday.

Some 400 clowns, mainly from Mexico but with contingents from Central America, the Dominican Republic and the United States, gathered for four days of workshops, classes and, well, just clowning around."

Even the cutesy tone of the article makes me cringe. I'm an anti-clownite. I admit it.
