Any words I can think of to describe how this makes me feel seem woefully inadequate.

HOLY SHIT IS THAT REAL?!?
WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found the link in a Huffpo article, so no reason to believe it's a fake (other than the voice in my brain screaming that it can't exist).
Oh gods.
"Users online now" include:
Stoney Mcpot
High Flyin Jaybird
Rizzle Riddlebox
Violent Twizted Juggalo
These were just the first few I highlighted. I could actually feel myself becoming stupider reading these names so I figured it was only fair to inflict the same on you.
Apparently this is the #1 site for Juggalos.
"Whatcha wanna doo is take alla the fish and stick em in this one barrel right here...."
I feel my inner retard telling me to register and troll.
But then my inner woman, being the logical person inside me, says that they won't understand nuffink, so what's the use?
And my outer me, the slightly rational retard is confused.
Also. :horrormirth:
I think we've been there before. A couple summers ago, Juggalos were our target of the moment and, iirc, a couple of us tried to fish there and no one took the bait. Could be different now, though.
Has anyone registered? If you go in, does it work anything like facebook or is it just a forum?
Pope krazy masta mchatchet.... :horrormirth:
i know some juggalos in the massachusetts metal scene (crossover type bands). Good folk but very confusing identity to ponder.
They have their annual "gathering" near here. Every year at least a couple turn up dead. Last time they pulled one out of the river. We've still got guys in biohazard suits here trying to clean that shit up.
Yup. Yup. Heya, Kingyak, do you have Juggalo-themed gangs down there?

Around here it's more Toby Keith-themed gangs.

Themed gangs...Kids these days.
I remember back in MY day, there was only one gang "theme" and it was "trouble."

I am still hoping one of these days all gangs decide to get themes. Then it would be like
The Warriors up in this bitch.
"Oh, The Baseball Furies are rumbling with the Juggalos again." Fuck yeah. :lulz:
Gang initiation includes shoplifting the make-up, choosing an acceptably bad-ass clown face, and going back to the same store as before to shoplift enough Faygo for the whole gang. You are automatically made gang-leader if you are dating a fat bitch named Bridget, own a rusty ax, and/or know voodoo.
Alright...you got me. Jokes over.
Really, though. Make it stop.
Seriously, I keep refreshing the link and it's still there.
It's not funny anymore! :argh!:

THERE'S GONNA BE A RUMBLE TONIIIIIGHT.
CAN YOU DIG IT!?
You know where this will ultimately lead, though? Justin Bieber themed gangs
And while we're subject, anyone who missed this should read it. IMO it's the most entertaining thing Ronson's ever written:

Quote"Have you ever stood next to an elephant, my friend?" asks Violent J. "A fucking elephant is a miracle. If people can't see a fucking miracle in a fucking elephant, then life must suck for them, because an elephant is a fucking miracle. So is a giraffe."
We watch the video for another few seconds: "It becomes apparent that Shaggy and J consider any understanding of the actual workings of these 'miracles' to be corrosive. To them, knowledge is seen as a threat... For ICP a true understanding of 'fucking rainbows' would reduce them to, as Keats put it, 'the dull catalogue of common things'."
Violent J shakes his head sorrowfully. "Who looks at the stars at night and says, 'Oh, those are gaseous forms of plutonium'?" he says. "No! You look at the stars and you think, 'Those are beautiful.'"
Suddenly he glances at me. The woman in the video is bespectacled and nerdy. I am bespectacled and nerdy. Might I have a similar motive?
"I don't know how magnets work," I say, to put him at his ease.
"Nobody does, man!" he replies, relieved. "Magnetic force, man. What else is similar to that on this Earth? Nothing! Magnetic force is fascinating to us. It's right there, in your fucking face. You can feel them pulling. You can't see it. You can't smell it. You can't touch it. But there's a fucking force there. That's cool!"
Looking into the eyes of an elephant is a life-changing experience.

It hurts me deeply to hear ICP compared to John Keats.
Sidenote: Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha! They're Christians?! I'm not sure if that's funny because it doesn't make sense or funny because it makes TOO MUCH sense.
They started claiming that a few years ago, I think.

I do love how Ronson is continually able to deflect scrutiny from himself, despite using terrible excuses that wouldn't hold up for a second if tried by anyone else.
I still remember the time he was taken by a bunch of UK based radical Muslims to one of their camps, and then they realised he was Jewish...
Quote"So all those unpleasant characters in the songs," I ask, "like the narrator in I Stuck Her With My Wang, they're examples of people you shouldn't be?"
"Huh?" Violent J says.
"Well, it's very unpleasant," I say. "'I stuck her with my wang. She hit me in the balls. I grabbed her by her neck. And I bounced her off the walls. She said it was an accident and then apologised. But I still took my elbow and blackened both her eyes.' That's clearly a song about domestic violence. So your Christian message is... don't be like that man?"
"Huh?" Violent J repeats, mystified.
There's a silence.
Half the challenge in interviewing them is resisting the urge to violently educate them.

I agree, though I'm impressed that someone even found a comparison that's actually insulting to ICP.
...gaseous forms of plutonium...
Any asshole who passed fourth grade science... No... Just no. Never mind.

That happens a couple of times in
Them: Adventures With Extremists--radical Muslims and KKK leaders decide that he's "a good Jew." The guy's either a spectacular liar who somehow hasn't been caught or a human weirdness magnet.

I thought that was the one where the KKK guy actually got him out of trouble by palying along with whatever religion he said, and he had no idea why.

That sounds kind of familiar, too, but it's probably been 8 or 9 years since I read the book, so details are fuzzy.
