1. why are the non-clown votes not going to be counted in the final tally?
2. i think most people on this forum are into extreme unicycling or somehting OTHER than clown uniycling
3. you don’t need to “announce” the results because anyone can just look at the poll and see
4. i don’t think many clowns would go on a unicyling forum because it is merely a part of their multifaceted acts, whereas many people on this forum do unicyling and unicycling only for many hours a week [/B]

Hey ColDawg:

Uggh! Another thread about clownophobia! Does Billy see himself as ML King preaching to the KKK? Stop it, already.

The first 2 points I’ll address:

1. Non-clown votes are not counted, in order to give “non-clowns” empathy for clowns, because clowns have been discounted since time immemorial.

2. I know we all recognize that “Extreme unicycling” is a psychological reaction formation against the inner clown. What could be sillier? When I mention my MUni to people, the incongruity leaves them as dumbfounded as the best clown skit.

3. Research shows that homophobic heterosexual males show greater responsiveness to male homosexual pornography than non-homophobic heterosexual males [as measured by a penile plethysmograph]. This means that “het” guys who hate gays actually experience higher levels of homosexual arousal.

Their homophobia is a “reaction formation,” which helps them hide the homosexual reactions, at least from others.

It appears that unicyclists have much greater homophobia [fear of being a clown, associating with clowns, or being mistaken for a clown] than the general population. It ain’t no great leap to think that maybe someone riding a unicycle might have more latent clown tendencies than non-unicyclists.

Discuss.

How is responsiveness to clowns measured?

[THE_dave]

wouldnt bother me to be a clown… some little kid saw me riding and asked im my uni came with circus music though…

think it would be cool to be a clown…

i reckon people hate clowns 'cos whatever you do on a unicycle people are like
“so what?, I saw a clown do that at a circus!”
and because clowns are asscosiated with being stupid, people think that when you are on a unicycle you are, in fact, an arse.

Stunning new evidence points to the inevitable demise of Clowndom
