The Juggalos Gather: “Why Do They Hate Us? We’re Just In A Forest Getting Drunk, Having Fun, And They Hate Us For It”


In case you were wondering what it might be like to attend The Gathering Of The Juggalos, artist Derek Erdman went, video camera in tow, and chronicled the Faygo-fueled masses’ trek into the deepest woods of Illinois. I… really don’t know what to say, although I really do hope that the guy cracking about breaking his parole for the purposes of making his pilgrimage was joking. [YouTube via The Awl]

    Am I the only person who thinks of “Ghost World” when she sees a pregnant woman smoking?

    It just reminds me my days working in a midwestern Indian casino.

    Let’s all laugh at these people and feel superior even though they had a great weekend with literally hundreds of friends while we sat on the internet, alone, making fun of them.

    @Weezy F Baby: Right. Hence my not really knowing what to say. Although the misogyny is sort of gruesome, and I still think smoking during pregnancy is gross.

    I enjoyed the uplifting story of the Juggalo shoe fairy. Though I imagined a flip of that story where a guy recounts the time he went to the Gathering and was mugged for his shoes.
