In Switzerland you can hire an evil clown to stalk your child for his birthday.
I'll let that sink in.
Yup, as a demonstration of parental love, this hired hand will leave threatening messages and make prank calls to your child. The climax is hitting the kid in the face with a birthday cake. If the child avoids it, then the cake is presented as an award, I guess to encourage survival skills.
I can't imagine what kind of family dynamics are in play where emotional distress is exactly what a parent wants to instill in the offspring. "Kid's been getting a little cocky lately. Time to take him down a peg or two." I think this would really take off if the clown, Dominic Deville (no seriously), would team up with a therapist.
Should a service like this ever arise in the US (and I'm sure more than one person read the article and considered it to be a new career path), I'd imagine the clown route to be downplayed for someone dressed like Jason or Freddy to freak the little kid out. Maybe instead of a cake the reward would be the creepy Saw doll stuffed in his locker.
A link to the article is right here. You'll notice he's dressed like an evil clown. I guess that's to separate him from the good clowns who terrify children with creepy texts and booby-trapped mailboxes. I know a few who'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
