Daniel, there are clowns. 
I can confidently say that the next generation (following Gen. Y) will be so used to equating sadism with comedy that they'll actually be brainwashed (for want of a better word) into thinking that harming others is funny; we see this taking place already - vandalism, bullying, violence and assaults are on the rise. I believe sadism promoted by popular media is a major influence on these trends.

The Three Stooges, Loony Toons, and the entire genre of slapstick comedy have anvils ready for that opinion.
