Yeah, who wouldn’t want a creepy clown delivering them donuts? Better yet, why not go with a slogan like ” Wanna Hurt Donut?”. My mind is seriously spinning right now as I think of what kind of devious, twisted, and unoriginal mind thought this up. There’s no doubt that this is coming off of the IT craze that’s swept the nation since the movie was released, but quite honestly how much does this business dislike it’s employees that it would send them out in a crazy clown costume to hand-deliver donuts to someone’s home?
I don’t know as I’ve ever even HEARD of donut delivery, let alone one that uses a clown outfit to do so. And even better, they’re doing this in a state where nearly everyone has a gun close at hand, and in a time when clowns are considered to be scarier than the boogeyman or home invaders. I have this vision of someone who doesn’t know about Hurt’s Donuts asking the clown if he, or she, is named Donut. It would be followed by, “Yes, I’d like to hurt Donut.” If you can’t guess how that ends just imagine it doesn’t end well for the clown.
There’s something going on in the head of the person that thought that this was a good idea, and it’s not entirely on the level. Anyone thinking that scary clown is good to deliver anything but a frightening chill up and down a person’s spine needs their head checked. This has to be one of the most insane ideas I’ve seen in a long time and since becoming a freelancer I’ve seen a few doozies. Not only is it opportunistic in a very strange and disturbing way, it’s also very ill-advised even if people are sending them to those that they don’t like but don’t hate.
On top of that the service is an extra ten dollars to use, so really where’s the sense in it? I think a lot of people would rather go on down to Hurt’s and actually buy their donuts from the counter like so many other people and possibly avoid the creepy clown that has little if anything to do with donuts in the first place.
I’ve no doubt there are people laughing their butts off and getting a good chuckle out of sending this crazed-looking clown to the door of a person they don’t particularly like, but one thing people need to remember is that what goes around comes around, and sooner or later they might find a clown or something equally creepy on their doorstep when they least expect it.
It’s also a bad idea simply because that extra five dollars, the delivery fee is usually five dollars instead of ten, couldn’t possibly help as much as people think if the poor delivery person in the suit gets their butt kicked all over the sidewalk. With the manner in which the clown craze hit the US in 2016 and the worry that it might happen again there’s no telling just who’s keeping a bat or something worse ready whenever they see big floppy shoes and a bad wig.
