Clown Dating-1 I received an email from PodDater saying that someone had left me a message. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was a spam from the Clown Dating Agency.

Circus is a magical business, but it can be difficult to meet new people and form lasting relationships when you’re on the road performing.

The Clown Dating Agency hopes to get performers together, providing fun, friendship – and possibly even love – for those who share a passion for juggling, plate-spinning, trapeze and custard pies.

Women are always asking for a man with a sense of humour, and men for a woman who doesn’t take herself too seriously. That perfectly describes the business we’re in, so let us help you out by finding you that ideal clown date.

Clowns make me uneasy. For this it’s pretty clear that the blame should rest with Steven King. Regardless, this is about as niche a market as I’ve seen to date. Think of the categories of clown-ness: Whiteface, Auguste, Hobo.

I love the come-on, “Don’t be a sad clown staying in playing with your trombone. Ask for a free registration form NOW.”

What a slow news day. Other big story I found titled Online Dating Planned for Orangutans, which is actually pretty cool when you read about them videocoferencing and remotely giving each other food.
