I love ICP. I won a copy of Bang Pow Boom for an essay comparing “Miracles” to a Walt Whitman poem. See here:

I also love the “Miracles” and Glade Air Freshener mashup, seen here:
You know they are a pretty funny bunch. That song: “Santa Clause is a Fat Bitch” Cracks me the hell up. From the song: “Oh, ho, ho, no, Rudolph! Don’t go over there. That’s the ghetto!!”
They are about as funny as a leprous cook in a soup kitchen. No, hang on, that’s quite funny! Something less amusing than that. If you want funny and shocking, try The Macc Lads circa No Sheep Til Buxton.
Vera Lee is my favorite off Bang Pow Boom. The song kind of sums up the “Other” or “Outsider” thing that ICP has really built their following around. They really appeal to the “dweeb sector”, which many can relate too… At its heart Vera Lee is a nerd and “bad boy” lovesong, but also transcends to higher memetics- everybody really has their verily own Vera Lee. Or what was it in the seventies… their own Waterloo? It’s a shout out to every nerdy or misfit teenager that goes unnoticed and is trampled and strangled by the sociopathy of American Society and High School.
I can really funk out to Love.
Apparently, they’re not in favor of people teaching science to juggalos. The juggalos were pretty interested, but haters got to hate.
Violent J? Hater.
Steampunk is not a culture the way Juggalos are. And I am definitely not a part of the culture if it exists. I am a casual fan of steampunk and just thought the screen name was amusing.
I wouldn’t doubt that is just Kay-fab. Man, you come to my gig, and I ain’t going to break character either.
In another world I’d just think their music is mediocre and I wouldn’t pay them any mind. But their fans… it’s their fans that make me truly despise them. I have never seen a group of less intelligent assclowns (lol) than Juggalos.
They were pretty sucky professional wrestlers, too.
Has no one posted this yet? Juggalo News.

You people have it all wrong. This song is actually an ode to the great Greek philosopher Miracles.
Having heard very little of their music, I just give them props for sticking with it. I used to see their ICP trailer thingy they’d apparently haul around to gigs, in Royal Oak (a Detroit suburb) pretty frequently in the 90s. And see ads for their shows, often at crappy little venues in the local rags.
Any artist who doesn’t hit it (really) big, but sticks with it that long, deserves at least some credit.
Oh God, that’s priceless! Especially that faux commercial for “Shit’s Fucked Up Hospital”.
Are we certain that SuperKapowzler isn’t Violent J IRL?
So re the willful ignorance posture adopted in the “miracles” video, is it really all a big sophisticated meta-joke pose, or are the Juggalo fans just that brutally stupid that the “Fuck science!”, “Yay miracles!” theme has a powerful resonance for them? Honestly in viewing vids of Juggalo fans I’m not betting on the sophistication angle.
Those aren’t mutually exclusive choices. 
Every now and then I discover that there are people in this world who are on an entirely different page. This article came across my e-mail:
Tila Tequila pelted by rocks, feces, at Juggalo show
Anything that makes me feel sorry for fucking Tila Tequila is evil beyond words. So… are these “Juggalos” controlled by ICP? Are they like a cult? If ICP came out and said, “Hey, you guys are idiots, move out of your parents’ basements, get a job, and bathe,” would that be accepted as the gospel truth? Is it a religion?
Seriously, what the fuck?!?
I was marginally aware that ICP existed, essentially to have the piss taken out of them and to serve as the butt of jokes. I had no idea that Juggalos and Juggalettes (!) existed.
What kind of moron would think that Tila Tequila’s singing career would mesh well with Juggalos? That was asking for a trainwreck and they got one.
The best line of the CNN article about this was as follows:
I kinda wondered what happened to Tom Green. Now I know. Dancing for juggalos.
Apparently, I hear that after the stabbing, the juggalos stood in the way of the emergency vehicles to stop them from leaving. Go figure.
Rats: That was on purpose. They apparently did the same thing to Andrew WK. I’m guessing they counter-book some acts just so the crowd can abuse them.
The account I read (no link) said the attack intensified after she bared her breasts for the crowd.
Now THAT’s a bad boob job!
“They pelted us with rocks and garbage”
Apparently, the Juggalos invite one or two acts each “Jugstock” or whatever the fuck it’s called, solely for the purpose of harrassing and pelting with garbage. Whoever is doing T. Tequila’s booking should have known that, I imagine.
Huh. Given the chance between fading into obscurity, or re-emerging at a Juggalo gathering… I’d go with the former.
