Clowns Are Jumping Out Of Bushes And Putting The Shits Up Everyone

Clowns Are Jumping Out Of Bushes And Putting The Shits Up Everyone

Fuck this.

Reports of definitely evil, potentially murderous clowns have been coming out of America for a few weeks now. Yesterday, for example, there was the video of the two lads who saw a clown carrying a fucking knife in a park.

Now, the weird craze has crossed the pond and here in the UK we have our very own evil clowns putting the shits up people - yay.

Police in Northumbria have received six reports of clowns scaring schoolchildren, leaving the kids, understandably, 'incredibly distressed'.

No one has been hurt in any of the incidents but, let's face it, that's got to be seriously mentally scarring.

Northumbria Police Inspector Stephen Wykes told the Mirror: "The people carrying out these pranks may think they're being funny but it is leaving a number of young people incredibly distressed.

"We are keen to identify those people who are dressing up as clowns so we can speak to them about their conduct and establish whether any criminal offence has taken place."

Nope, just nope.
