Longtime ISS favorite Insane Clown Posse has just released the bold and innovative music video for their latest masterwork "Miracles." Unlike Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope's previous works, which often focused on darker themes such as urban violence, the paradoxically inhumane nature of man, and motherfuckers steppin' all up in our shit, this track focuses on the transcendental power of nature and reminds us all not to take our lives for granted. Below, ISS contributor and noted Juggalologist Dr. Puppykicker offers his take on this groundbreaking work.
0:07 It's comforting to know that almost a full year after our initial foray into Juggalo culture, Violent J still won't shut up about magic.
0:27 Violent J is going all Carl Sagan on us now. "In order to bring the Wicked Shit, you must first invent the universe."
0:40 Now this might all seem a bit mundane to some of you, but keep in mind that when you spend three days a year in Cave in Rock Illinois, everything else starts to look pretty miraculous.
0:45 I suppose that thousands of Juggalos could be considered each other's equals in a Bell Curve sort of way.
0:47 Well, I guess now we know where the giant baby at the end of 2001 came from.
0:50 "I've seen shit that will shock your eyelids." Sure, why not.
1:10 Things that the Insane Clown Posse deem worthy of exultation in song: chainsaws, murder, fuckin' bitches, and rainbows.
1:14 "A bird acted like an asshole? Oh you best BELIEVE that's going in the miracle song baby!"
Also, Shaggy's pose at the end of this verse is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
1:20 The violent clown man considers his inability to visually perceive sound waves to be indicative of the existence of a benevolent supernatural power.
1:30 "It's just there in the air." Think about it, won't you?
1:54 Shaggy 2 Dope considers the functionality of magnets to be a miracle, although apparently not enough of one to justify spending five minutes on Wikipedia to learn how they fuckin' work.
(I'm pretty sure it has something to do with electrons.)
2:00 Ordinarily I'd say something here about how while individual scientists have falsified data in the past, the peer-reviewed nature of the scientific process tends to identify and weed out bad data over time, but I'm worried that doing so might get Shaggy pissed.
2:05 The only thing miraculous about that many Juggalos in the same place is that they didn't all die from inhaling vast quantities of facepaint fumes.
2:20 Good Lord, they've SPAWNED? That's probably some kind of miracle right there, albeit one of an unholy nature.
2:35 Is... is this a cult?
2:45 To recap, miraculous according to Insane Clown Posse: UFOs. Crows. Ghosts. The word "fuck". Not miraculous: Penicillin.
2:55 "Magic everywhere in this bitch." SLOW. CLAP.
3:00 Do what appear to be early nineties video effects demos also qualify as "miracles?"
3:25 Since when did this video turn into the world's most boring screensaver?
3:50 I must admit, shooting Insane Clown Posse into space is a BRILLIANT idea. I don't know why no one thought of it earlier.
3:55 Apparently, all those scientists who said that outer space has no oxygen were motherfucking lying. That gets me pissed.
4:20 And so this video about the beauty and splendor of the natural world ends with all of the aforementioned miracles destroyed in a supernova. Of course it does.

So the Juggalos are slowly morphing into a religious cult? In retrospect that seems sort of inevitable.

They said in an interview that they were both faithful Christians and wanted basically to test the evangelical waters with this song. While I've seen countless non-fans making fun of the song, I haven't yet heard what their fan base thinks. If the fan base hates it, then this could mark the beginning of the end for ICP. But if they like it, then you can expect to see ICP become one of the silliest evangelical tools ever employed.
Keep your eyes peeled for imagery of Jesus in Juggalo face paint.
