Watch a 27-minute infomercial for this year's Gathering of the Juggalos

by Tyler Munro

Last year’s Gathering of the Juggalos made headlines when an inexplicable headlining performance from Tila Tequila led to the reality star (uh, we guess) getting pelted by beer cans and garbage. The singer, or rapper or whatever she is, who was topless for some reason at the time, famously left the stage covered in cuts and with an ego bruise as big as her cup size. How can this year’s Gathering top that?

Releasing a 27-minute infomercial is one hell of a start.

Released by Psychopathic Records, the video stars Vanilla Ice covered in blue paint and is an extended announcement for the festival’s line-up, which, amongst headliners Insane Clown Posse, will feature performances from everyone from Blaze Ya Dead Homie and MC Hammer to George Clinton and Kittie, whose name the video spells incorrectly, or, er correctly, as Kitty. Mystikal, fresh from his 6 year stint in jail, is also playing, and he’s apparently a “real ass juggalo” now.

If that wasn’t enough, this year’s festival will also feature a “Wrestler Night,” which promises comedy and stand-up routines from the likes of Rowdy Roddy Piper, Mick Foley and Scott “Razor Ramon” Hall.

According to the video there will be “endless shit to do,” like “witnessing the gigantic hog daddy’s hellfire, kicking back on one of four Juggalo love trains and getting live in the inflatable moon bounces.” Before you ask, yes, there is a wet t-shirt contest, yes, it’s sponsored by Faygo and yes, it will probably be disgusting.

Watch the entire infomercial below and try your best not to be offended, if not by the narrators insistence at continually calling the viewer “bitch boy” than at the nonchalance at which it jokes about drunken helicopter pilots.

Gathering of the Juggalos 2011 takes place August 11th – 14th at Cave In Rock, Illinois. Maybe we’ll see you there.
