"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke
"Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor." -Violent J


The video Miracles has earned Insane Clown Posse many new fans and an unfair reputation as being anti-science. Insane Clown Polytechnic is trying to clarify this misconception. Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J have explained in interviews that they were promoting a positive appreciation for the natural wonders of the world. See the full explanation below.

Some people say we, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo Juggalo] fans of "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insane_clown_posse The Insane Clown Posse]", lack basic scientific understanding on subjects like fucking magnetism, light, and nature. Fortunately, us Juggalos will be outside the [http://thewarfieldtheatre.com/eventdetail.php?id=26910 Warfield Theater on June 5th, 2010] to show that Juggalos understand science too.

To that end, we will be setting up a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair Science Fair] outside the Warfield between 6pm-8pm to demonstrate several of the scientific principles which some people think confuse us.

We are not haters, we are family. We love science, we love ICP, we love the Fam, and we think that the more Juggalos who stand up as scrub for science, the less the jocks and the haters will make fun of the geeks and clowns and ninjas who really run the muthafucking world.

I don't know what Webster's definition of the word "miracle" is, but we've always thought it meant something fuckin' amazing and incredible. A fuckin' special, awesome event of some kind. A great, wonderful thing. A fuckin' miracle.

The song "Miracles" is classic ICP. Our listeners know we've always included one or two deep, meaningful songs on our albums, we've just never made a video for one until now. It was a good idea, obviously, `cause it's got people talkin'. The truth is it don't make us mad to see all the hate "Miracles" gets from the mainstream. We've been "The Most Hated Band in The World" for many years. Without all the hate on the outside, it wouldn't be as warm as it is on the inside with the Juggalo Fam. Instead, all the hate "Miracles" generates makes us sad. Sad for the haters.

I mean, yeah, we get it. It's funny to people on the outside lookin' in, seeing two clowns rapping about space and shit, while floatin' around in an orgy of screen savers. And SNL's parody was off the hook hilarious. But when you step back and really look at all the genuine hate it got from everyday people, it's hard to believe that so few got it.

Yes, most of the miracles we mention can easily be explained away by science, that's why we say the line "fuck scientists." Their factual findings sometimes explain away the Earth's cool mysteries. Part of me wishes they were lying. Part of me doesn't want to know how they really make crop circles. My imagination wants to believe it's aliens or somethin'. If people can't relate to that, then that's their loss. I mean, seriously, it must truly suck to have no imagination about these things. Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor.

As for the infamous line, "fuckin' magnets... how do they work?" Magnets were like magic to me as a kid. You could move things across the table without actually touching them! I found that shit amazing and I still do. If you don't like that, have a dick for dinner. As for the sun and the stars. Who looks up into the sky and doesn't wonder sometimes? Come on, man, I fuckin' straight up feel sorry for anybody that can look at the moon the trees, and the seven seas, and not see fuckin' miracles. It's not about religion either. Nature itself is a miracle. Stand toe to toe with the ocean at night and tell me that shit ain't amazing.

We appreciate all this shit. Especially a yellow ass, long neck giraffe. What's a shame is how people walk around blind to it all. They lost their spirit about everything. If you can't even see the miracle in animals, then you must have never truly loved a pet. That has to suck for you. Maybe you mother fuckers should relax that wound up, extra tense bitch ass of yours for a minute and go smoke a joint or somethin'.

Be an individual, step out and away from the flow of the crowd. Take a time out, open up ya mind and then peep the giraffe. Try to appreciate some of these miracles, bitch.

What's a miracle is the fact that some people haven't recognized by now that Insane Clown Posse will never die. ICP will go down in history as an independent music miracle. Get used to these ugly faces. MMFCLJ.

We feel like these haters are the big dumb, popular jocks ganging up on the little class clown scrub. When they have no idea the scrub is really a highly skilled, deadly, ninja assassin capable of cleaning their fuckin' clocks.

Faygo soda makes us insane cause of its sugar but insane amounts of Faygo cause premature death among Ninjas so I'm thinking to do a poster about the health benefits of "less is more" when it comes to Faygo. This is possibly a risky strategy as this pop is their holy sacrament and I'm not suggesting criticizing it, only advocating judicious use of this powerful high-fructose corn syrup-based sacrament.-Parintachin

: Consider going into the [http://tongodeon.livejournal.com/893076.html metabolic breakdown of fructose]. I wasn't really sold on sugar being a problem until I saw Dr. Lustig's talk, and he's got some good stuff there. The catch is that sucrose is 50% fructose, and HFCS is 55%, so it's almost as bad either way. -[[User:Laszlo|Laszlo]] 20:07, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
