Clowns without borders has been around since 1993, and the Swedish Chapter has been around since 1999. Around 14 countries have chapters, including the US and Canada. They are all nonprofit organizations. To read this article you would think that this is some Swedish government project thought up just for the Muslim refugee issue in Sweden. That's far from the truth. The Swedish chapter performed in over a dozen countries last year alone.
As to what this dumbass thinks about clowns, Take a look at the faces of those kids and decide if they feel about clowns as this writer does.
"Just speaking for myself, however, the last thing I can imagine wanting to see if I were a little kid in a Third World refugee camp or youth prison would be a bunch of guys in clown outfits climbing out of a tiny car, juggling bowling pins, riding unicycles, making balloon animals, and sweeping up spotlights. Not to put too fine a point on it, but is any child ever really entertained by the antics of clowns? I've always had my doubts. All I know is that for as long as I can remember, clowns struck me me as witless, depressing, and vaguely creepy. Their costumes look as if they must be sweaty and smelly. A painted-on smile seems the very opposite of cheery. But hey, maybe that's just me. "
