Parents hire 'evil clown' for kids' birthday parties

Who wants to have a boring traditional birthday party with cake and ice cream and presents, when you can have an evil clown stalk you for a week before throwing a pie in your face?

Dominic Deville is the stage name of a Swiss actor.

His services, which apparently have been around for a few years, created a buzz recently when the Huffington Post picked up on his story.

For a fee, parents can hire Deville to send threatening texts and notes to their birthday boy or girl.

After days of stalking, Deville then shows up in a scary clown costume and blasst your kid in the face with a pie.

Deville says kids love to be scared by the service he offers.

We're not sure we believe that.

What do you think?

Is this something your kid might like?

Would you ever do something like this?
