Other clown-related rumours are also being circulated on Facebook.

Nobody stood out in links this week, so I’m giving Popehat the top slot because another link (from Laura Lee) made me think of them (for reasons that might be clear to you if you read last week’s TW3 column). Long-time readers may recall the same time happened last Yuletide as well; there just aren’t as many good links after people start feeling all Christmassy. Or Hanukkah-ish, for that matter; as y’all probably know it occurred as early this year as it possibly can (starting on Thanksgiving Eve). In honor of the holiday our first video is a “Santa Baby” parody by Rachel Bloom; the second video is here because (as you may have noticed) I’m fond of unusual song covers. It was contributed by Gideon (who also gave us “New Mexico”); other links between the videos were provided by Mike Siegel (“coincidence”), Jesse Walker (“headline” and “clown”), Radley Balko (“toothless”), and Lenore Skenazy (“peanut butter”).

I heard about that peanut butter & jelly “controversy” on Jordan Owen’s YouTube and I just could not believe it. These are the people who have made the charge of racism a trivial joke.
you’re going to give poor popehat juvelequine nightmares.
Changing the subject…France voted to criminalize sex worker customers. I take it that in France having sex with a dog or sheep aka “bestiality”, is illegal and of course, only the human is arrested and not the animal since obviously, a dog is incapable of consenting to sex with a human. That being said, why didn’t they merely include “sex worker” in the penal code covering bestiality? Since this law is saying that like Dogs, women are not capable of consenting to sex for pay, only the man will be arrested while the sex worker will be released to continue roaming the streets. Thus, it logically follows that per the anti sex “feminist” view, women are the intellectual equivalent of dogs, at least when it comes to sex. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/01/french-mps-fines-prostitutes-customers
