Hey Bloggers!

Ok, no more clowing around... well OK, maybe a little... It's time for 'Beat 360°.'

Everyday we post a picture – and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.

Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?

Here is today’s 'Beat 360°' pic of the day: Here we see a clown entertaining the crowd at the Farmers Santa Parade last year in Auckland, New Zealand. Each year over a quarter of a million people line the streets of Auckland along the parade route to watch the festivities.

Beat 360°

Here's one or two to get you started:

After the Clinton ‘Kitchen sink strategy’ met with limited success, Hillary debuts the ‘send in the clowns’ campaign...

Or

This McCain fan took the ‘Straight talk express’ a little to far off the deep end...

Have fun with it.

Make sure to include your name, city, state (or country) so we can post your comment.

- David Reisner, 360° Digital producer

Update: Check out last night's Beat 360° Winner!
