Hypocracy

So you've brought your young kids to an event set up specifically to entertain the children. The kids are there, whispering to each other in a semicircle around the clown, who is making balloon animals. He entertains them by twisting and twirling the balloons and handing out the animals to the children.

Maybe it's your kid, or your niece, and just as the clown is leaning over to get the next balloon that the girl is holding in her hand, a grown man, dressed in a chicken costume assaults the clown, smashing food into his face.

The children scream. They don't know if this is supposed to be funny, or if the innocent clown is being attacked. The self righteous chicken sniggers to himself as he bolts from the stage, cowardice speeding his steps.
