Well, coulrophiliacs for one. I have a friend who trained to be a clown, but I haven't really asked her about it. I suspect that people who train to be clowns also like clowns. What I would like to know is about when the shift in attitude towards clowns occurred, when the familiar pattern of clown makeup became predominantly creepy vs. amusing, or if clowns have always evoked negative feelings in some way.
