What A Clown

Funny clownWhat's funnier than a clown? Why, a dead clown, of course!

Now, how about if the clown is hanging from a cage attached to the underside of a hot-air balloon, that suddenly catches fire, causing the cage to fall and crush said clown to death, while a bunch of doe-eyed children look on?

That's exactly what happened to a 26-year-old clown from Belarus, who was performing at a circus in Ireland. According to a witness, "We were all sitting down and they were doing their act. They were up fairly high, but they were doing fine. Next thing, he was down on the ground." Well, yeah, that's what happens when you fall. Seriously though, what's this guy going to do for an encore?

The sight of a clown has always made me a little depressed, but witnessing this jackass might have actually lightened my mood a little due to the shear idiocy of witnessing someone DRESSED AS A CLOWN HANGING FROM A CAGE ATTACHED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF A FLAMING HOT-AIR BALLOON!
