Ronald McDonald, the popular McDonald’s mascot, has been making fast food customers smile for the past 50 years. But not all clowns today are looking to make people smile.
A series of creepy clown sightings have some communities on edge. Some clowns have made violent threats, chased people to their doors and worse. Many Americans already have a deep fear of clowns after seeing movies like ‘IT.’ And these latest sightings aren’t helping.
So even though Ronald McDonald is known more as a happy clown, the restaurant chain is having him keep a low profile for a while. McDonald’s wants to be sensitive to the communities that have experienced any creepy clown incidents, and worries that parading around their own clown might lead to even more unease and fear.
