That Iuliani "Patapouf" is being waaay to touchy feely. So what if they used the clowning profession, I'm sure some other idiot would have kicked up a stink if it were something else. It's just an advert, it's not real and he should grow up. Clowns are not meant to be sacred, respected members of society, that are untouchable to being poked fun at, it's quite the opposite and he should be able to see that.
