Mimes
Why do so many people hate mimes? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't. Then again, it's so rare that I see a mime. But I've never understood why mimes are so unpopular. Did a mime do something bad to a bunch of people and now everyone hates them or what? It's such a mystery to me.

Well, from what i've seen, the majority of them imitate someone that's around. This can often offend people.
As for me, I don't really care because my encounters with mimes are rare and as such, none of have tried to imitate me.

If a mime just does his or her thing as a separate performance, or only interacts with people who are giving their tacit permission to be "part of the act," then there's no reason to complain. And most mimes that I've seen do this. There are just a few obnoxious types that set the stereotype. Aside from that, it's just something odd and fun to boast about hating -- like accordions :-). |

I'm personally not fond at all of stuff like that. I don't even like "candid camera" and prank call shows, because it turns unaware people into performers. Frankly, I'm surprised so many agree to let the clips be aired. I'd refuse. |

I don't like mimes because they just don't amuse me. I think they're a little creepy. Not creepier than a clown though. I've seen people get dragged in their so called "performance" and its just embarassing. I don't hate mimes, I just don't like them. Go away mime!
