Did anyone else follow the link from the Urban Legends clown page to "Kicked In The Nuts"?? Supposedly a failed pilot TV show, the basic premise of the entire show is that a clown runs up and kicks unsuspecting punters in the knackers...I laughed mine off!!

The game is up, I know that you have no interest whatsoever in bicycle racing, your only interest lies in your enthusiasm to see athletic men's buttocks and chest muscles in tight spandex shorts and jerseys straining to cycle uphill

The woman put the girl to bed and then went to make her daily call to the owners, she told them about the life sized clown, the owners were puzzled and then started freaking out because they didn't have a life sized clown.
Apparently, this life sized clown was a dressed up schizophrenic who had broken into the house and was living off the family's food. The police also thought he may have been trying to abuse the girl, and that was the cause for her nightmares.
Sounds to me more like one of those teen horror stories, but it kept be enthralled for 2 minutes.
