Considering the wealth of juggalo activity in your area I think you have an obligation to better document their behaviors; you're in a very unique position working at a record store... Nothing fancy, I'm not talking Whopper Virgins style production, maybe just some hidden webcams and a website that's updated periodically... Somewhere sometime someone will get a Master's for their dissertation on Juggalo culture... And the world loses...

He tried to shoplift the new Psychopathic Records dvd and this little purse thing that we sell. At first he refused to lift up his shirt because he claimed to be embarassed about stretch marks. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2008-11-20/music/insane-clown-posse-s-juggalos-aren-t-a-gang-just-punk-kids/" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> an article/apologetic about juggalo culture in the desert. When alien anthropolgists do a history of our planet, they'll talk about how the movie Over the Edge anticipates jugallo-dom. Today I met my first obviously gay juggalo.

Anyways, you've made me excited about a possible visit to Arizona so that I might see the legendary juggalo running free and in packs as opposed to those cage-raised broken-spirits you see here being led by embarrassed parents or being intimidated on the street. This heroin proximity makes good sense, all they need is a cigarette vending machine and maybe some Colt 45 on tap and you're good to go. Have you noticed any dismissed job-seekers taking employment across the way? I thought that McDonald’s was king of the third bun burger– isn’t that the defining feature of a Big Mac?

One week they had three ambulance calls, the last of which ended in an old dude being carried out on a stretcher. We send job-seekers over there when we're out of applications. I still think BK's most odious contribution to western culture is that hamburger that has a third bun inserted in the center of it. That shit is totally fucked up.

My friend Anne Moore wrote a book called <a href="http://www.murketing.com/journal/?p=867" rel="nofollow">Unmarketable</a>, and I know there are other media/marketing critiques out there, but people have to be willing to investigate their desires and the decisions based upon them. Compulsory education for children to be aware of marketing techniques? Electroshock therapy linked to credit card use? At least the potential for worldwide catastrophe exists as a final lesson no one can ignore, but it would be nice if people got together and recognized their place in that danger before we were all swimming in salt water.
