I liked ICP when I was a kid because it was silly and it made me laugh. It was schtick. Then they started getting all serious and it just got embarassing. The same thing happened with GWAR. Its a shame really because when taken as comedy those acts had value. Edit: I couldnt finish wacthing the docu. Epic supernova of facepalming stupidity. | ||

Personally, if people want to do stuff like that, why not? People there were happy. No, they didn't cure cancer over the gathering, a couple of them may even develop it as a result of it. But who am I to judge? I don't know what's happened in their lives, there may be reasons why they all seem to jump at the chance to be part of a "family" and be accepted. As long as they're not harming anyone else, whatever. They should do what they want. | ||

At one point a guy claims there's a brain surgeon there, clearly a lie but that's hardly anti-intellectual. Personally, if people want to do stuff like that, why not? People there were happy.

Fair enough, as long as you're not harming anyone I think it's ok for you to hate the shit out of whatever you like. Personally they're not the kind of people I'd make my friends, or waste my time on at all, but people are complex and I'm not going to judge. | ||

If you deal with people like juggalos on a daily basis... let's just say it gets very tiring. It's not that their out to be dangerous or anything. They are just stupid and get your way because of their stupidity that's all. It's annoying as hell. | ||

That being said, most of the Juggalo's I knew were closer to the guy in the red shirt at 2:37-3:17 in the video than the idiots the video showcases. Obviously they want to make this entertaining, so they have to pick the crazy/drugged out people to put on camera more than the rational ones. For those who have never met a Juggalo, save your opinion of them until you do. Don't base it on this video. For all their downfalls, I can say that the Juggalo's were the most open-minded and accepting people I knew in high school. I grew up in an extremely conservative part of the US (lived next to Jerry Falwell for 16 years, seriously) where being gay or just not christian could get you beaten up on a daily basis. The Juggalo's at my school were the only group I knew that openly accepted gays/lesbians/non-chirsitans as if it were no big deal. They didn't care what you wore, what part of town you were from, who your parents were, who your siblings were, or even what music you listened to as long as you showed them the same respect. Long story short: Every culture/subculture has a bunch of idiots, and idiots like drugs. Idiots on drugs are entertaining to watch. Not all idiots wear clown make-up, and not everyone wearing clown make-up is an idiot. | ||
