It's a little more complicated than that, though - ICP are a (semi-)legitimate cultural force, with fans all over the world (OK, the Midwestern United States) congregating every year in Rock Island, Ill., for the annual "Gathering of the Juggalos" festival.

I dare you to make it all the way through this expanded promo, which might as well be a Mr. Show skit:
