Official: 100% hate clowns

LONDON, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- State-funded researchers in Britain recommended that hospitals do away with clown-inspired decor in children's wards because clowns frighten children.

The Space to Care study, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, found that all 250 children questioned in a survey of 4-to-16 year olds disliked the use of clown-related images in children's hospital rooms, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.

The researchers said even the teenagers questioned in the survey labeled the clowns as "scary."
