  • SinisterDexter, on 10/12/2007, -12/+250Remember folks... You can't spell "Manslaughter" without "Laughter Man"
  • geodescent, on 10/12/2007, -13/+230I lol'ed at the description but I don't know why. Is that bad?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+219Never bring a pie to a gunfight.
  • Fejerro, on 10/12/2007, -9/+183The fact that 2 people are dead is horrible. The fact that 2 clowns are gone........well.......
  • drunkentoad, on 10/12/2007, -4/+97Perhaps, but im guessing that the clowns were more afraid of him.
  • Arcesius, on 10/12/2007, -6/+98Wow, after reading the article I feel really bad. Two clowns shot dead at a cheap circus, and all they wanted to do was entertain! Poor clowns =( *tear*
  • GreasedMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+78The guy was probably afraid of clowns. That's arguably Steven King's fault...
  • DenTPuzz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+75Tomorrow, in respect, all the remaining clowns will be wearing their trousers at half mast.
  • longboarder543, on 10/12/2007, -4/+70"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad."
  • antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -10/+59Clowns put the laughter in manslaughter.
  • loker269, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52I guess the Colombian drug lords got tired of their funny business..... [/endbadpun]
  • JJVH, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45"ughhh how annoying would it be to get stuck behind that funeral procession?"

    It would actually go pretty quick, considering they would all fit inside of one, very tiny hearse.
  • Preternatural, on 10/12/2007, -5/+42Either someone took their childhood fears a little too far, or those clowns was dealin'.
  • darzeecompany, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40It's gonna take a lot more than two to fill up that tiny hearse...

    I'm a bastard :)
  • lishnetzy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+41I can't believe all of you are clowning around when we're talking about people's lives here.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+37who's laughing now........
  • batmn42, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33Two cannibals are eating a clown and one says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29That was the funniest short uninformative description I have ever read on Digg.
  • LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28Hold on - I've played this case in Phoenix Wright! I can help!

    Berry Big Circus, here I come!
  • tcquad, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29I'm laughing because I'm a bad, bad man.
  • danobrien23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25ughhh how annoying would it be to get stuck behind that funeral procession?
  • polymorphist, on 10/12/2007, -12/+35I chuckled myself when I saw the title and thought it was some sort of joke...but now I feel sorry for those poor folks and how messed up that country is over there...
  • SinisterDexter, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26Don't you know... A Mime is a terrible thing to waste.
  • trenchcoat, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28Stop me if you heard this one...
  • ophilye, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25No dead clown joke is complete without Red Meat...

    Once, my brother and I were out in the desert and we came across this dead clown. It looked like he had been dead there for weeks.
    His face was all shriveled and his eyes sunken in. So we took two ping pong balls and drew black dots on them, and put them over the clowns eyes.
    Then we laughed real hard at that clown.

    Don't even act like the same, or worse, ***** doesn't happen over in the good ol' US of A.
  • Skunkhair, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24oh, c'mon, as much as their death sucks...they were clowns! I'm sure they can find the humor of the story as much as I do when I read the headline, chuckle and then say "oh, wait...no.. that's not funny, that sucks."
  • patientXero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I think the term LOL is overused. . . but in this case, the people around me in class just looked at me like "What the ***** are you laughing at, psycho?"
  • Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+27Send in.. the clowns..
  • moofer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Why can't people remember the rules... You're supposed to shoot mimes, not clowns.
  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I laughed hardest at some of the comments and I feel terrible. Everyone in this thread is going to hell.
  • Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -17/+33@Sinisterdexter

    Perhaps it'd be more appropriately "Man's Laughter"?
  • coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I vote this description as "best of the year". Not only was it psychic, but it made me laugh harder.
  • Eazy~e, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24Two cannibals are eating a clown.... One turns to the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"
  • ja1217, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23Clowns aren't usually the ones laughing if they are doing their job right.
  • moofer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Save me a seat.
  • Fejerro, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19"Hey kids! I bet you thought that I was dead! But when I fell over I just broke my leg and got a hemorrhage in my head!"
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15"Never bring a pie to a gunfight."

  • Vironex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Awww, you're no fun when you're drunk.
  • ja1217, on 10/12/2007, -9/+18and you all thought that the white stuff on their face was just makeup....
    no wonder they always seemed so happy
  • lukeamotion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Did they take them away from the scene in that little ambulance all 50 of them came out of?
  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Being a clown anywhere is a sign that your life isn't quite the best it could be at this point.
  • Antha, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

  • thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Tasteless jokes for everyone!!!

    What's better than being superman? Being able to walk....

    What's better than winning the Special Olympics? Not being retarded.

    What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice.

    How many women does it take to change a lightbulb? None, she can cook in the dark

    I think I'll stop now... Karma is a real bitch about these things.
  • brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10"is that considered incest?"

    I think it's just masturbation
