In a shocking turn of events, policy makers have announced that they will be cracking down on the inflation of clown noses worldwide, despite the strain it puts on the clown banking system.
Leading the charge is none other than Mr. Bozo, who insists that the balloon animal industry cannot withstand the ever-increasing prices of red rubber squeakers. “We need to keep these prices under control, or else birthday parties will become a thing of the past,” said Mr. Bozo in a statement released earlier today.
The move has caused some backlash from the Jester community, who argue that the high demand for their services justifies an increase in production costs. “We can’t keep being forced to wear hand-me-down jingle shoes and make balloon swords with our own saliva,” protested a spokesperson for the Guild of Court Fools.
Regardless of the protests, policy makers remain firm in their stance, and have already begun implementing strict regulations. “No more hiding red noses up your sleeve to inflate them,” warned a government official. “We will not tolerate any attempts to inflate the clown nose market.”
It remains to be seen how this crackdown will affect the world of circus entertainment, but one thing is for certain: there will be no more clowning around when it comes to inflation.
