Clowns are upset over the re-emergence of Stephen King’s ‘It’

Earlier this week we saw someone take the new 'It' trailer for the reboot of Stephen King's horror story featuring Pennywise the Clown and replace Pennywise with Dr. Suess' Cat in the Hat. To finish off the week, we have a bit more news on the upcoming 'It' film, but it's less about the movie and more about the people who have an issue with the movie.

Now, you might think that the people who are having a tough time with the film are people who are afraid of clowns, but it's actually the people who accept clowns the most that have a problem with it.

Professional clowns are dreading the film's release, afraid it will spark anti-clown paranoia.

“It’s gonna be bad for clowns,” Guilford Adams, a 42-year-old clown, who has performed under the name Gilly for 20 years, told MEL Magazine (via Independent). "“No one sticks up for a clown. The only thing cooler to dislike is a mime. It’s silly and stupid, and I wish people would focus on the good clowns out there.”

A 33-year-old clown Nick Kane, known professionally as Mr. Nick, added, “It’s ruining our business.”

Another clown, Roger Fojas, known as “Ringmaster Roger” and “Humpy Pumpy,” supported to the other clowns' thoughts, adding that traffic to his Yelp page dropped off after the trailer released. Fojas is afraid that kids will no longer want clowns at their parties at 'It' releases.
