As if we needed any more evidence that ICP are morons...

One of my friends posted this video on his Facebook wall the other day. If you don't want to go watch it, it's Insane Clown Posse's new music video, which was apparently made by someone who had just illegally downloaded their first graphics program.

Other than the ridiculous video, here's a chunk of the lyrics:

"I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it's all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking madness, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed"

I (along with about everyone else I've heard talk about this song) at first thought they were saying, "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" which would be fucking hilarious, but according to a few different lyrics sites it is indeed 'madness.' I tried checking their official page, but couldn't easily find lyrics, and didn't want to spend more time there than necessary, so I'm going with unofficial sources. Either way, it's pretty moronic. Are they going back a few hundred years and referencing water, air, earth and fire as the elements? And if so, do they not understand how any of these things work? If they don't, well they sure as hell can't ask a scientist!

The anti-science tone of the song is just so incredibly stupid. If you've ever seen a Juggalo (or Juggalette, for the ladies) type, they're generally barely literate, hate-filled assholes who survive by a crazy group mentality of proud ignorance and a "me and my Juggalo friends will beat you up if you say anything bad about us!" mindset. Given these, uh, assets, it's easy to see how many ICP fans are going to just blindly follow along with these lyrics and develop a disdain for science (if they don't already have one), even though science has given them everything they hold dear in this life (computers, iPods, stupid clown makeup, Faygo).

It seems funny to me that they are, apparently, Christians, though you wouldn't know it from a lot of their lyrics, which tend toward misogyny and violence...actually, hold on, the Bible's pretty full of both of those, so I guess maybe they are just being good Christians.

I have a passing acquaintance with ICP, as one of my ex boyfriends was a fan (shut up, he liked a lot of really great music, I'm not entirely sure how ICP snuck in there). I had actually never heard one of their songs before I dated him. So he introduced me to ICP, and I introduced him to David Bowie. Somehow I feel like I got a raw deal there...

You know, if they had just talked about how amazing the world is and left out the blatantly ignorant anti-science, pro-creationism bullshit, it would be a, uh, nice sentiment, I guess, though still incredibly lame. Even by Christian music standards.
