The 10th Annual Gathering Of The Juggalos-the celebration by and for fans of the Insane Clown Posse-happened this weekend in Illinois. But who are these Juggalos? What are their hopes and dreams? How do they treat their Juggalettes? Can an honest Juggalo get an even break in this cruel world? Artist Derek Erdman-yes, that one!-took a camera to the Gathering and found "a mostly friendly bunch of people happy to be at a place that they can all their own for a weekend." America, America, this is you.

Like Burning Man, except the fleas are mosquitoes.
Or the Flintstones, with real dinosaurs.
This is the dark(er) side of David Brooks Bobos, just people looking for a tribe to which to belong and -- if you listen to the "step to one of us, you step to all of us" guy in the beginning -- a feeling of safety in a like-minded group. Looks like fun.
Shouldn't they all be at least ten years older?
"And when you are without shoes, I will shod you. This is the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God."
Yeah, bad taste, but do they crime? I don't like their style and I don't even like being around my own tribe but, well, at least they don't seem to be united in a desire to stop other people from getting health insurance. Man, they sure are ugly, though, and that is a problem, but it isn't the worst.
But please do continue to make fun of them.
Was the guy with only one tooth the leader? I think I figured that out.
I may end up sounding like a broken record, but...
...nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
