Clowns Protest Halloween Stereotyping in UK

 
(Toothless Grandma in the UK) A group of clowns have begun to protest at Alton Towers Theme Park over a belief that a haunted maze at the Staffordshire theme park demonizes them.
 
The new maze attraction which is called 'The Carnival of Screams' will open over a two week period up through Halloween. The segment in question is a fun house overtaken by evil clowns who chase visitors through the attraction.
 
Fips the Clown, a protestor, was one of many clowns holding signs outside of the park.  His simply read 'We are not happy.'
 
Another sign that was held by Ringo the Clown caused more confusion than anything:
"It only serves to reinforce stereotypes of clowns as evil. This will do for clowns what Jaws did for sharks," said Fips.

Fip's comments have already sparked rumors of upcoming protests by clown sharks.

Michael "Savage" Banned from the UK

Extremist radio host Michael "Savage" has been banned from entering the UK.

Savage, who's real name is Michael Alan Weiner (pulling the Barack Hussein Obama card and smiling), is prohibited from entering the country because his radio program spreads messages of hatred, violence, and extremism.

The move to ban Weiner along with several others was made by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith who in a statement said:

"Coming to the UK is a privilege, and I refuse to extend that privilege to individuals who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life," Smith said. "Therefore, I do not hesitate to name and shame those who foster extremist views, as I want them to know that they are not welcome here."

Savage is known for making extreme comments against Islam, homosexuality, and immigrants.

Also included on the list are The "reverend" Fred Phelps and his daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro baptist church.
