This man in New Zealand decided he'd proactively lighten the spirits on the day he was due to get fired, by bringing an "emotional support clown" with him for the event. Can't say we've ever heard of someone adopting this tactic amidst getting fired, but damn if it's one for the books. Twitter users naturally had some jokes to make about the whole madness of the situation.

A legend dressed up like the Caped Crusader himself has taken to the streets to ease the troubled minds of children traumatized by 'evil clowns.' BBC Cumbria reports:
"It appears a superhero has swooped in, determined to help youngsters sleep easy tonight. Cumbria Superheroes, a costume company, has sent ‘Batman’ out and about on the town’s streets to fight off the evil clowns. The man behind it insists he is not a vigilante, but is hoping to give children some reassurance that they are safe."
Here are a couple pics too:
And a cry for help:
With the news reporting more than a few clown attacks in New Jersey and some closing elementary schools Twitter is over it and are sharing their plans #IfISeeaClown.

Ben G: "My kids filmed me up on stage tonight not knowing what was about to happen. I'm OK just battered, Concussed, bruised and a bit dizzy. I'm very angry at the way I was carried off stage before the paramedics even checked to see if I had any major neck or back injuries. I could of been paralysed for all they knew. Thankfully I'll be OK. Thank you to all the well wishers and I'm sorry if I upset anyone or their kids. I hope Benjamin the clown is OK too."

This sounds like every horrible nightmare you've ever had, but in reality it's just a couple taking photos for an Instagram project. Or, at least that's what they want us to believe...
