I would probably tell them to quit 'clowning' around before I was stabbed multiple times and encased in cotton candy for their space ride home.

At first I thought it was guerrilla marketing for the remake of "It", but I think the stabbing incident probably disproved that unless there are some malicious copycats going around. I think the only thing that can be done is to wait and see (and stock up on anti-clown weaponry).
