I.C.P./P.O.D. Show Shut Down Due to Concerns Over Satanic Lyrics Noise Level Faygo Damage

I’ve never been to an Insane Clown Posse show, but Vince has, and he told me that the performance involves spraying lots and lots and LOTS of Faygo. Like, apparently there are dudes on stage whose entire job it is just to shake up and spray bottles of the soft drink at the audience, and the band’s crew even goes so far as to cover the walls near the stage with plastic tarps to protect them from the endless geyser of soda.

Alas, it would seem that the promise of such precautions were not enough to assuage the property damage fears of San Diego’s North Park Observatory:

Man, if I were an ICP fan or a POD fan, I’d be really pissed — and not just because my daddy and my uncle are the same person. I understand that a crowd accustomed to ending their evening sticky with saccharin and artificial flavoring might feel let down if they went to an ICP show and had nothing save for the music to keep them entertained, the same way I would feel let down if I went to a GWAR show and none of the band members jizzed, pissed, or shat on anyone in the audience. Still, when I think about the lengths to which some devoted musicians have gone not to miss shows, this just seems like the billionth example of how ICP are idiots and assholes. I mean, if Robb Flynn can stand on stage and shit himself so as not to let his fans down, surely, these nitwits can forego one night of making it rain cheap soda, no?
