Talk:Clown society

I strongly appose the redirect from Sacred Clown. Although these are related, they are not identical concepts. And the redirect should only be used for indentical concepts.

I *strongly* oppose this move. Please eliminate the redirect you created.

as a general rule A COMEDIAN says funny things and A COMIC does funny things. Taking the analogy a stage further A COMIC does funny things and A CLOWN IS funny in the sense that he embodies all the comedic elements with his body and appearance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.166.171 (talk) 11:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
