'Christian clown' arrested with kiddie porn

No, an actual clown.

An Illinois man who worked as a "Christian clown" named Klutzo was arrested yesterday on child pornography charges for allegedly taking naked photographs of young boys at a Philippines orphanage. According to a federal criminal complaint, Amon Paul Carlock took the illicit photos during a "clowning" trip to the House of Joy orphanage earlier this year.

On his web site, Carlock (who has worked with his wife, a fellow clown) describes himself as a Christian clown who performs at parties, picnics, vacation Bible school, children's church.

What, exactly, is the difference between a christian clown and an ordinary clown?

Or is he just branding himself a christian clown for marketing purposes? Lots of people will buy any service advertised as christian.
