KREM anchor: Enough w/clowns

KREM 2 news anchor Mark Hanrahan comments on the station’s Web site that it’s time to quit paying attention to creepy clowns:

I have to be honest. It feels ridiculous to even talk about so-called, creepy clowns on TV. In the grand scheme of what we should be worried about, people dressed up as clowns is nowhere near the top of the list. I’ll explain, but first some background. More here.

Question: Do you consider this “creepy clown” faze to be funny or foolish?
