Most prestigious channels are using the system of call ‘n win, which in return generate a lot of profit and only one or two people out of thousands if not more win the prize. It’s really absurd to manipulate people this way, however  the way they show these contests, by convincing  people to try their luck, maybe they win ,as a result spending a few pounds or maybe more, just by holding online or trying over ‘n over again. Not to mention that some channels are specialized only in such competitions were they get a good looking girl and they post a stupid silly question and you have to find the answer. since the question seems to be very easy, thousands of people call and no one win till the end of the show when suddenly someone answer the question, and yay he /she wins!! Even the questions are not challenging to think or to search for, and again we” the Arab nation” accused of not being creative or using any percentage of our minds in doing something useful. I wonder with these kinds of programs, we have no choice to think of anything else, but for the silly answer!!

My story goes back to the day I first saw the movie” IT” a 1990 horror movie ,based on Stephen king novel. I can’t remember how old I was, but that was really one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, especially when it comes to the scenes where “IT” appears in bathroom or blood started to pump up from the tape, at the time I hated going to toilet alone lol !!

I looked up in the dictionary on line, and I was amazed by the numbers of phobias we have. Did anyone ever heard of fear of feces “coprophobia”, I suppose he/she never go to toilet or what!!! Even when I searched for pictures of clowns, most pictures were either for scary clowns or sad ones! Where is the fun in that…Huh?

The history of clowns goes back to ancient Egypt, where they were called “fools” most fools suffered from some physical and mental deformity and were given to the local landlord as a charge, because their families were unable to look after them, and the surrounding communities often feared them, However, being perceived ‘idiots’ they were often the only people in court who enjoyed free speech, and during the 16th century, especially in France, actors began to train as fools, often in order to have the ability to make satirical comment. “Wikipedia”.

I believe media has played a major role, in portraying clowns as evil or scary. Especially in scenes where the boy tries to sleep but his clown toy is sitting on a chair, staring at him!!

i wanted to add pic..but was scared of his look,especially the one of the movie !!!
