Scary clowns in France push mayor to ban Halloween costume

The decision by Mayor Pierre Dudieuzere, of Vendargues, near Montpelier, follows a series of incidents around France in which people dressed as scary clowns spooked children and in several cases assaulted people. In one incident, an adolescent assaulted a passer-by with an iron bar.

The phenomenon has spread on Facebook during the past few weeks, with groups tracking clown sightings across the country. But Vendargues, with 6,000 inhabitants, is apparently the first town to ban clowning around.

The ruling, posted on the town's website, said the ban is "absolute" tomorrow night, Halloween, and will be in force throughout November for everyone aged 13 and older.

France is doing something right! Ban all clown costumes and the world would be a better place.

If London follows suit Boris the Blade will have to go and the Palace of Westminster will be empty.

These are costumes, which are optional to wear, it's inevitable you're going to run into a dog somewhere.. it's completely different.
