ICP are essentially Evangelical Christian hip hoppers that are allowed to talk about bad stuff using bad words in a quasi-Marilyn-Manson-esque way.  

Everything else goes hand in hand with any hip hop group -- delivery, talent, etc. -- that you'd see on the Trinity Broadcast Network... creationism, ignorance is bliss, and all that.

It makes their cult status and their being a target of humor less surprising, but still funny nonetheless.

I'm no student of ICP but I thought the religious/Christian turn was a relatively new thing.


I know this isn't the same as scientific proof or living with Violent J himself. But I have a friend who's an ICP-ologist, for lack of a non-corny term, though not a juggalo. "Miracles" is allegedly a return to form, and/or at least a return to their original producer.  The religious thing was there from the beginning of their formation as Insane Clown Posse. They were originally called Inner City Posse... in brief, wrestling, beefs with other rappers, gang life summed up Inner City Posse. The "Insane Clown" part replaced the name for the two when they were first 'reborn.'

All this ICP talk has sent me back to the archives. The 1:47 mark of the 7/21/2009, when Tom & PFT finally come completely unhinged, may be the greatest moment in all of radio.

When I first heard it, that part had be literally gasping for air, pacing the room, and punching my fridge. I hadn't laughed that hard in years.

The part when they were talking about the juggalos hijacking the helicopter and flying it into the motocross was when I just lost it.

My god. It's a veritable cornucopia of pure magic.
Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

PFT's laugh when he first hears "Helicopter rides" is fantastic.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Magnets are hard!

Quote
But magnets? Almost uniquely among everyday phenomena, anything even resembling a remotely accurate explanation is a blisteringly complicated quantum mechanical affair. Even first year textbooks for physics majors tend to gloss over the actual answer to "why are some things magnets?" questions with a few paragraphs of non-mathematical handwaving.

I don't like this, but nature is what it is. My advice to teachers of 5th graders science is to mostly skip the "why" in the case of magnets and focus on what magnetic materials do. Some things are ferromagnetic, they do this. Some things are diamangetic, they do that. I hate hate hate giving that advice, but I just don't think it's possible to simplify magnets to that level without creating additional confusion down the road. Once the students are advanced enough - maybe high school - then start with some non-mathematical simplifications of the quantum origin of magnetism.

So you're saying this is kind of like when Einstein confronted the question: Fuckin gravity, how does that work?

I think the correct way to ask that question in this thread is, "Fuckin' Cracked? How can that be funny??"*

Seriously, some Photoshop genius could put Shaggy 2 Dope and Maxwell's Equations together somehow. This is a t-shirt I would buy.

This is perfect timing im doing a paper on magnetic induction this would make the perfect cover page.







On another note if anybody listens to the Special Deliver Show with Sam and Dave they are taking calls from Juggalos tonight.

Sometimes I get the feeling that ICP was created in some secret laboratory where researchers work around the clock trying to produce shit that will make me laugh.

What's with that little move Shagland does at the end? It's like he can't decide whether he wants to do a disco step or punch someone.
