I'm surprised at the idea of coulrophobia - fear of clowns. I watched a TV show last night that featured a character who was afraid of clowns.

I can understand being afraid of those killer clowns in movies, the ones who are made up to look scary. They're designed to make us afraid, but the smiley circus clowns inspiring fear is hard to understand. Come to think of it, I know a woman who is uncomfortable around clowns.
Of course, any phobia is defined as irrational, like a fear of heights, or cats, or fish, so I guess I shouldn't be too hard on those who suffer from coulrophobia.
