mascots race 309x194 VIDEO: Mascot race is funny and yet terrifying at the same time

In some ways, mascots are a lot like clowns. Kids love em, they’re funny, and they’re sole purpose is to entertain.
As you get older though, you begin to realize that the person behind the mask/costume is an adult, and yea, that’s sort of creepy. When I turned 16, I watched the movie It and it’s been pretty much downhill from there.

Which brings me to this clip from the Hastings racecourse last weekend.

At first, you want to laugh because watching mascots tripping over themselves in a pseudo steeplechase race is downright hilarious. But then the camera zooms in on the big-nosed creature at the end. Yikes!

Go ahead, I dare you to tell me you’re not a little freaked out.

What'd you think of this?
