Interesting that they use a fear of clowns (coulrophobia)as a marketing theme. Harkens to "fear the clown" movies: IT, Poltergeist, Killer Clowns from Outer Space, Clownhouse...
and to the Evil Clown meme"

One wonders if they're trying to get kids (the largest demographic with fear of clowns) to bug their parents to use the mail...
