He's been around far longer than I have. +1 for staying.

[jrandom]

He's been hanging around Auckland for over 20 years. Apparently, when somewhat younger, I used to start screaming and refuse to enter the building he was in, whatever it was.

Creepy as fuck.

[Gubb]

The eyes creep me out.

Wellington had one two. It was a sing Christmas was near and it was good to see the jolly guy.
Its part of Aucklands history. Nothing wrong with it. Let him be.
I would be more worried about letting your kids sit on that strangers knees with the bulge sticking out giving sweets to little boys and girls massaging his groin Shame on you.... Remember stranger danger.

I think it's the people who have decided he is creepy that have the problem....fuck PC I say....how ridiculous...

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

They say the same thing every year it goes up... who cares its up in some unknown city anyway

[Blossom]

just asked my 10yr old who was up there looking at it yesterday while at his school city camp. He thinks its "a bit weird actually mum...its eye looks retarded".

Sorry bro, you didn't grow up in this town having nightmares about the thing.

Don't tell me you were one of those kids who didn't have a problem with clowns.

Fuckin oath bro, I was about the most softcock five-year-old you'd ever meet.

Most of my life since then has been about making up for that.

[PrincessBandit]

Hahaha, I used to stare at it trying to work out how the mechanics of it worked.
The only clown I was ever scared of (not counting some of the clowns who inhabit roads with me) was Tim Curry in that Stephen King (?) movie It.
