Clowns enlisted to raise spirits of Tampere municipal workers

Yes, they spent 25,000 Euros to hire clowns to improve morale.

Morale would probably be a lot better if they spent the 25,000 euros on employee raises.

I'm not even going into the whole clown thing - some people like them, and some really hate 'em.

shutter i HATE CLOWNS!!!
it had to be stephen kings IT at age 4
i went to a greek festival in town 2 weeks ago and there was a clown there and my faince thought it would be terribly funny if she told her out loud that i was afriad of him and both of them mocked me :P
after that the clown gave me a hug and it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life!!!!
but i agree with the previous post it would be a better use of money to give the employees the money.
