This guy is famous (or infamous if you are the straight edge type) for the parties he would throw. The things he pulled off could only be done by someone very well networked. Given the lengths people have gone to in order to meet this guy, there are plenty of people, myself included, who would be jealous to spend some time with Mr. Laliberte.

@Jacubious: Well-said! Laliberte is no kid's clown. And nevermind the alleged incidents he wants ushered off the bookstands — have any of you not seen Zumanity? The relative unmention of Cirque de Soleil's provocative history here, thus far, is shocking.

That being said, astronauts may appreciate this flavor of creativity if it doesn't prove too distracting.

I know we need to fit the Yanks and the Russian space program is strapped for cash however, unlike clown automobiles, making astronauts into clowns will not increase the occupancy of the Soyuz spacecraft.

I wonder how space murder would go down. I mean, could you be prosecuted back on earth? It didn't really take place on the planet, so its out of every country's jurisdiction, and its space so you could always just jettison the body and let it burn up in the atmosphere so there's no physical evidence.

Just what i'd want in an airtight capsule for weeks at a time surrounded by other dudes....a french tickler.

C'mon, seriously. A lifetime of money and training so that they dont die and you're going to go "coochie coochie coo" while they're attaining much needed rest?

Clowns freak me the hell out - they're just not right. You'd think of all places one could be safe from them it would be space. Sucks to be them!

@Software_Goddess: Good call. Shame on me! Of course - have it on DVD even. Such a classic. Glad this is Friday because my brain is toast from this week.

"while they're sleeping, you know, I'll be tickling them"

So, now in addition to worrying about any of the thousands of things that could go wrong on a space mission, the astronauts have to worry about a clown molesting them in their sleep. That's just great.

Awesome. Its kinda ironic too that I saw this article while watching Home Improvement (Main star is Tim Allen, voice of Buzz Lightyear). Hopefully someone puts that parade on youtube so we can see it.

Maybe this can be the main theme for Toy Story 5? Where they go to space and the world is Wall-E themed again, but maybe people thinner...

While this is COOL, I think a better lesson to kids would be to put Buzz on the outside of a submersible checking on on Megatron in the Laurentian Abyss, and seeing what he looks like after that.

@GitEmSteveDave_HasANewiPodTouch: A bit hard to do that considering Megatron isn't down there anymore storywise. Plus, Buzz would be crushed by the pressure at those depths.

@phaota: I know, that's the point. Something deformed by great pressure is cooler than something barely affected by a vacuum.
