According to UPROXX , the British newspaper "Express" spoke with Advertising Standards Authority, which usually deals with people complaining about violence, nudity, foul language, etc in advertising. It turns out peoples fear of clowns in TV commercials is on the rise.

The bad news for those freaked out by clowns in TV commercials, is that advertisers aren't breaking any rules by using these funny guys so they will stay.

Just think of these TV commercials WITH a clown:

  • Viagra
  • Cialis
  • Levitra

See funny, funny like a clown. Enjoy your balloon animal.
