Warning: Do NOT Click if you have a fear of Clowns…
Something a little strange has been going on in Sydney lately, and even after looking over all of the evidence, we’re not quite why…
Forget Hell’s Angels, there’s a new gang in town; the Ronalds. Well, that’s not really their name (we don’t think) but there is a group of people dressed up as the McDonald’s icon walking around the Sydney CBD, making pitstops at various venues and scaring those suffering from Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns.)
Luckily for us, we didn’t see them first hand, but were able to document their journey around Sydney via a Twitter account belonging to Rupert H, who, along with other Sydney patrons, was sharing their movements via social network. Curiouser and curiouser.
Here’s the rundown of their day!
