Okay, this whole 'Creepy Clown' phenomenon is getting completely out of control.

Can we all agree that this isn't funny anymore (not that it was ever really "funny" in the first place.) I mean, I get the humor in it. The original headline kind of made you laugh and think to yourself "seriously?" However, the media and the immature masses have taken this situation to a whole new level.

What started with what was presumably an actual creeper and possible predator down south, progressed into "creepy clown" sightings across America, has now completely spiraled out of control. These copy-cat jokers are now posing an actual threat.

Over night authorities had to search the entire Shenendehowa Central School District in Saratoga County and Shaker High School in Colonie before kids started coming to school because somehow the "creepy clowns" created a bomb threat against the schools on social media.

While the schools were swept for any foreign objects school went on as planned for the day, albeit, with added police presence. The schools are saying that the threats were "non specific" and even "non credible" but it is just really sad that all this time, effort, and money has to be put in in order for kids to be able to safely attend school for a couple of people to get a quick laugh.

I'm not even sure how they find this funny. It's becoming more and more infuriating if you ask me. So I'll ask again.

Can we all just agree that this is not funny anymore and knock it off?

Thanks.
