It was bound to happen eventually.
The ‘Killer Clown’ craze that appears to have begun in the US has reached the shores of the UK and people aren’t pleased.
As well as disrupting schools by putting them on ‘hit lists’, scaring kids, and attempting to enter people’s cars while parked at traffic lights, the clown-faced fucks have also put a massive strain on already stretched police forces all over the country.
Wait, this sounds familiar…
A terrified public. A police force struggling to deal with a lurking menace. A hero is needed. Not a man but a symbol….
ENTER THE DARK KNIGHT!
Well, not really.
But kind of.
This is the work of a company called Cumbria Superheroes, who have been sending out one of their stable of masked avengers to reassure children in the Northern English county. By no means a vigilante, the costumed enforcer simply visits children who haven been unfairly affected and brightens their day.
And while I still won’t rest easy until the colourful twats fade back into obscurity, it is nice to know that someone out there is making genuinely scared kids feel reassured.
Now all I need is someone to make me feel less terrified.
