On June 5th, a gaggle of brave Noisebridgers plastered their skin in face paint and headed to the nearby Insane Clown Posse show to teach science to Juggalos (fans of ICP). Armed with lab coats and poster-boards, these clown scientists were set to explain the science behind butterflies, Faygo, and, of course, motherfucking magnets. By several accounts, the Noisebridge members were actually getting along with the Juggalo crowd as they waited outside of the venue, up until a few members of ICP’s roadcrew came out and said the band was none to happy about anyone trying to teach science to their fans. SFSlim tweeted that the group was physically threatened by ICP’s crew and Violent J, one half of the Insane Clown Posse, even bragged about it on his twitterhole. A clown with no sense of humor… who’d a thunk it?
Didn't they come out as evangelical christians awhile ago? And that their whole act is a facade (even more so then is obvious, they weren't even faking faking what people thought they were faking...layers and layers, ponderous man, fucking ponderous. - [warning, would involve listening to them])
The only major youth gang (the guns and raping type gang) in the county area where I live is apparently "inspired" by the Insane Clown Posse.I say this because it's marginally related to the topic and I otherwise have no opinion.

I wouldn't say "harden criminals" so much as asshole kids who're too stupid by half. My fiance worked in the Juvenile Justice Department until recent budget cuts so most of my information is second hand from her.I'm trying to find a more recent article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003121207_insaneclowns12m.html
