Well if so many people are clowns by this description, surely they deserve more respect.

NO, it is NOT. This is a SERIOUS issue.
I am sick of the way clowns are ridiculed by most of the population. I want this discrimintaion to stop.
I would not be sarcastic about an issue as serious as clowns.

Clowns are ridiculed because that's their job... they aren't serious ... they arrived to entertain the kings...

They are ridiculed by society, and if this sort of attitude was taken to any other group of people there would be outrage.

How exactly do you define a prat (Mr White, Timmy Mallet) and clowns (Charlie Chalk), but remember that there are evil ones (Stephen Kings IT)

So as you fear them, you believe its right to take this sort of attitude towards them?
So it is you with the problem, and not the clowns.

But his job is to be funny and ridiculous just to entertain that's what they do ... at least that's the way that I understand it.

A clowns job is to entertain, not to be ridiculed by members of society who think that clowns are just a joke, and therefore they can treat them with such contemptuous attitudes.

Clowns are just another leech on society. What do they do for its benefit? Annoy children at parties?

Why fear your fellow human beings?

Just like lamposts, everybody has one, the one who gives you light and shows you the way when you know of no other.

Everybody has a lampost but lamposts who do lamposts have?

Everybody also has a clown, the one who always cheers them up, makes them laugh, even if you don't realise it someone in your life is your clown. Metaphorically speaking and then of course there are the clowns we immediately recognise as clowns.

Everybody has a clown, but who do clowns have?

Edit: IT may appear to be a clown, but he is not a true clown, think about it.
