Target stores have decided to pull all of their clown mask inventory because they seem to be terrifying too many men, women, and children.

According to Danbury Patch, because creepy clown masks have unnerved people across the country, Target stores have made the decision to pull them off their shelves and their online stores. What kind of world are we living in that social media threats from "clowns" have shut down schools and terrified children all across the country?

Evidently, it's now considered corny for clowns to be happy and lovable. Halloween Express told Eye Opener TV that clown mask sales have gone up 300% in sales from last year and that 8 out of 10 of those clown masks are of the evil variety.

My wife Mindy told her guidance counselor back in high school that she wanted to attend Barnum and Bailey's Clown College when she graduated. Her counselor told her that was a horrible idea and that she should go to nursing school instead. Why does everything have to have an evil edge to it? Can't we all just calm the hell down? From clowns to politics to TV shows, there's aggression, greediness, corruption, and shootings. Clowns were originally supposed to be fun, adorable, and innocent. What's next? A TV show about VICIOUS KITTENS THAT KILL?!
