Insane Clown Posse come out as Christian rockers

ICP have been going for 20 years, always wearing clown make-up, which looks slightly lumpy because it's painted over their goatees. They've been banned from performing in various cities where juggalos have been implicated in murders and gang violence. ICP have a fearsome reputation, fostered by news reports showing teenagers in juggalo T-shirts arrested for stabbing strangers and lyrics like "Barrels in your mouth/bullets to your head/The back of your neck's all over the shed/Boomshacka boom chop chop bang."

All of which makes Violent J's recent announcement really quite astonishing: Insane Clown Posse have this entire time secretly been evangelical Christians. They've only been pretending to be brutal and sadistic to trick their fans into believing in God. They released a song, Thy Unveiling, that spelt out the revelation beyond all doubt:

Fuck it, we got to tell.
All secrets will now be told
No more hidden messages
…Truth is we follow GOD!!!

We've always been behind him
The carnival is GOD
And may all juggalos find him
We're not sorry if we tricked you.

1. Sounds like a train wreck to me. nt

[flvegan]

2. Will they stop sucking now?

And by sucking, I mean like the biggest black hole in the universe sucking.

[Brickbat]

3. No, no -- Christianizing your rock ups the suckage.

[flvegan]

4. Are you saying ICP will suck MORE now?

Im-friggin-possible. I can't even imagine how they could be any worse.

[Brickbat]

6. I know, I know -- it's hard to believe. One might say it's a miracle, like giraffes and magnets.

[zonkers]

38. That's right ninjas. Blankets? How do they work?

[Orrex]

9. Tell it to Stryper, fella!

Oh, wait...

[mikeytherat]

36. A musical black hole has infinite capacity to suck.

5. Throwing shit to the wall and seeing what sticks.

[Lyric]

7. So they've decided to try switching their minor douchebag cult into a major douchebag cult?

That's usually the reason why people suddenly play the GAWD card. Well, that and album sales.

:shrug:

[mopinko]

8. can i have the left over drugs?

[pokerfan]

10. F*ckin' blankets, how do they work?

SNL parodied them back in April. Pretty spot-on.

So many confusing things out there
Well, get your magnifying lenses out ninjas, and get a closer look at life

The world is full of magical mysteries
Puzzles unsolved since ancient histories

Where does the sun hide at night?
Did people really used to live in black and white?

Is the world round? Is it flat?
How come no one can tell me that?

Like what’s with islands? Get more land!
What’s with deserts? Get less sand!

What is Alaska? Who is Brazil?
Isn’t a volcano just an angry hill?

How did God even think up dirt?
Erasable pens make my head hurt

Metal, girls, iron, fire
How’d they get my voice in a telephone wire?

Why are pants different than shirts?
Fuckin’ blankets! How do they work?

The world is full of mysteries
How do suitcases always know where to meet you?

So many magical mysteries
Are children small, or just far away?

Why are there so many mysteries?
Why do some mountains look like presidents?

Hey world, stop trying to trick us please
What the fuck is a clock?

Now here’s just a list of some stuff:
Trees, swans, capes, a horse

Triangles, witches, a different horse
Two horses

The whole world’s got 10,000 people
And Santa Claus created all of us equal

Ass Dan’s kids look just like Ass Dan
And my two kids look just like Ass Dan

So open your mind, but shut off your brain
The mysteries of life can’t be explained

So fuck you books, we don’t need your tricks
And all you scientists can suck our dicks

It’s all magic! Awww yeah ninjas!
Life is a beautiful thing!

12. Never saw that episode. Looks like a good one.

Love that Early! :rofl:

[REP]

35. I fuckin' love Squidbillies

'Double Truckin' the Tricky Two' and 'Burned and Reburned' are two of my favorite episodes, but they're all sickly funny. It's one of my favorite shows, and I was SURE I was not going to like it when it started. Oh how wrong I was!

13. lamest shit since QWAR

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

14. No thanks.

I don't want those idiots on My team.

[redwitch]

34. Could you maybe visit them with a serious epiphany

or something?

[UTUSN]

15. I don't know any of their other stuff, but "Miracles" certainly grabbed my attention

16. What part of "Insane" did you not understand?

[pa28]

17. Can you drink yourself to death with Faygo?

Guess we'll find out.

[hobbit709]

18. The name fits perfectly.

[alphafemale]

19. I saw them live...they seemed to hate racism and republicans...good enuf for me

So long as you are out of their Faygo rootbeer spray range...lol

That part of the show was pretty stuupid

[Heidi]

20. They're celebrating ignorance. I wonder whether they're homophobic, too.

Wait! Why, yes, in fact they are! And they seem advocate violence to women.

22. I'm taking their word for it.

If they would care to use their very public platform to support human rights, I'd believe that when I saw it. But they don't.

25. That is not at all what I said, nor is it what I think.

Good grief, RT. This is the second time you've gone off on an argumentative tangent with me and, frankly, I'm not interested in entertaining a discussion of what you think I think.

[RandomThoughts]

26. I removed the posts.

No good comes from commenting on such a contradictory post as that article says. Or there thoughts are beyond my conceptual ability to understand.

Did not mean to assume what you meant by your comments.




Side note
I just got it, years ago, I also used to crack some off color jokes. So I understand the concept of the post. Although never on the level of that group, nor with serious intent, although I understand the concept better now.

I understand the meaning of the OP post.







Side note, I asked a question to a certain group, there response said in their office was that it was not my concern, so this video has a similar reply to some in a few groups.

It also has concept of being able to defend your arguments. I would never hurt a women, why would some do that? It is so plain to see that it is wrong and they should be supported.

And it is a beautiful song.

And her being Ok is great news. :loveya:

[ismnotwasm]

27. Nooooo

Actually despite some really, really offensive stuff, they can be pretty fucking funny. If they want to be Christians, so be it. I'll still listen to 'Wizard of the Hood'

[KamaAina]

29. So before this, they were just "Clown Posse"?

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. i don't feel bad now for having considered them talentless, offensive shitstains.

Lowest form of human garbage, they are.

[Blue_Tires]

31. hoax? publicity stunt??

[The Flaming Red Head]

33. I was the ho gettin all the faygo

[mikeytherat]

37. Darn. I was hoping they'd figure out the whole "magnets" thing.
