05.08.09 I APPROVE OF CLOWN MURDER

Couche-Tard is a Quebec-based convenience store that awesomely rhymes with “douchetard.” And their new ads for the “Sloche” — the French-Canadian version of the Slurpee — feature a clown being hacked to pieces and run through a wood chipper (see videos below). It’s vindicating to watch the clown die, but unsettling because he laughs the entire time.

Company spokeswoman Jacinthe Harnois said adults may finds the ads distasteful, but they are not the ones being targeted….

She adds some people may be shocked watching the videos but she jokes the clown is just happy doing his job. [Marketing Mag]

I read somewhere that it’s outdated and passe to be afraid of clowns, and it’s times like that that wish I could punch people through the Internet, because clowns are the only thing that are scarier than heights. They even weird me out more than midgets. Oh God, if I ever met a midget clown at the top of the Sears tower, I’d probably just crap my pants until I died.

Is this the definition of tragicomedy?

They should make a show called “The Midget Whisperer” and the guy just goes around showing people how to interact with midgets so that they wont be so afraid.

It would be much less trouble to just eat at White Castle.

There was a Couche Tard in the lobby of my building during my last year of university, and they’re slushes were like Slurpees with 10X more syrup. I bought one when I was on shrooms and ended up being awoken on the 50 yard line of our university’s football field at 4 in the morning. Good times!

In Canada, that’s 60 yards from the end zone, or something.

Oops…yes…the 55 yard line.

/Hates CFL for only having 3 downs and an end zone bigger than my house

Pffffft, amateurs. Don’t they know that the best way to get a clown to scream in agony and curse their very existance is to cut off a single finger at a time, and then stuff it down their throats (or other orifices)?

These French-Canadians copycats should check out the videos I recorded in my basement. Well, after I get full immunity and a promise not to be extradited back to the US.
