Quote:The circus is officially insulted by your election comparisons
The circus would like you to stop calling the 2016 election a circus.
On Monday, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey launched a new campaign titled “The Circus Wants The Circus Back.” The goal: to get rid of the negative association the presidential election has brought to the words “circus” and ‘clowns.”
“Everyone from the media to the public to politicians to even President Barack Obama himself have repeatedly called the 2016 Presidential Election a circus or referred to the candidates as clowns,” Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Out Of This World Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson said in a press release. “These comparisons need to stop! We want to #TakeBackTheCircus to where it belongs, to the real circus, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.”
It isn't the only brand that has suddenly found itself entangled in the election.
Earlier this month, Tics Tacs issued a statement of condemnation after Trump mentioned the candy in a 2005 Access Hollywood video where he discussed being able to grope women because he was a star.

As far as the circus being offended and wanting to maintain a good image.. I'm pretty certain they ought to be more offended by the men who are dressing up as clowns trying to abduct children.. if I was going to be offended at something if I was the circus.. that would be it right there..
Other than that.. perhaps they would like to take up offence with the phrase "bread and circus".. originating in Rome of course.. people with any intelligence use that phrase all the time with negative connotations..
But I hear you.. it gets old.. we are raising a generation of pansies who need safe spaces.. if people want to know why there are no leaders rising up today who are strong and good leaders.. this here is probably a clue.. they cannot lead when their own shadow offends them.. (shadows are racist or didn't you know.. )
