"Down with the clown 'til you're dead in the ground."

American Juggalo... a film that looks into what it means to be a fan of the band Insane Clown Posse, filmed at the annual Gathering of the Jugglalos.

I'm really not sure what to think. Much like the brilliant documentary Capturing the Friedmans, once you decide to take the trip down the rabbit hole, the ride continues to get freakier and freakier. I'll let you pass your own judgement, however.

Please be advised, there's plenty of profanity and nudity. But no "bigotory." (Ok, so that was a little judgement.)

The Gathering of the Juggalos 2011

I'm excited for the Gathering of the Juggalos. Not because I'd ever go, but because it means another infomercial is out.

I made it through 2:12. I dare you to stay with it longer.

Juggalo Island!

I just watched this whole thing. I dare you to do the same.

The Saga of Tila Tequila and the Juggalos

This past weekend was The Gathering of the Juggalos, a festival Insane Clown Posse runs. I'd like to explain it in more detail, but I'll never to be able to do half as good a job as this video.

Anyway, by now you may have heard not only that Tila Tequila made her singing debut at this event, and it did not go well. (That that is a shock to anyone might be more of a shock, but hey.)

Nathan Rabin, contributor to the A.V. Club (and a great follow on Twitter) was there, and saw the whole thing go down. It's an article you won't want to miss. Don't believe me...?

“Juggalos don’t play,” insisted a young man by a trailer. “If we don’t like an act, if they don’t bring the wicked shit, we’ll throw shit at them. When Andrew W.K played here they were chucking all these water bottles filled up, like 90 percent with piss, and then partially unscrewed so it fucking got all over him.”

If Andrew W.K, the human personification of partying, got abused at the Gathering, what chance did Tequila have of making it out of a nightmare gig with her dignity intact? For that matter, did Tequila have any dignity to imperil? (Quick answers: very little and no.)

Juggalos...Mount Up!

I tapped out by the 21 second mark. If you make it further, you're a better (worse) person than I...
