It's no secret that you can find some reasonably cool shit on Craigslist - concert tickets, jobs, vacation rentals. After dropping a cool grand on new living room furniture for the pad, we spent the better part of yesterday looking for a cheapo dining room table on CL.
What we didn't anticipate was the mental anguish, personal torment, and unending questions about the declining state of humanity associated with discovering that THIS exists in the world.
And that someone is charging actual money for it.



and people wonder why people are frightened to death of clowns.
Wait, the ICP still have fans? Weren't they called Juggalos or something?
I guess they must be losing fans if they are selling their ICP lamps. For ten bucks.
I didn't read the listing too thoroughly, is it a ICP-sanctioned lamp, sold on their website or is it a custom job? Furthermore, which option is sadder and scarier (not clown scary but Jesus-Christ-what-has-this-world-come-to scary)
I don't know, they did rap with Snoop Dogg...
I think this might be one of those rare occassions in which I feel lucky to have craigslist blocked by my employer. . .
For what it is worth, Insane Clown Posse's recent show at the Congress Theater had the kids lined up around the block to get in, dressed up all Gwar-style and ready to go. It being Radiohead Day here at Chicagoist, it is worth noting that Carnival Of Carnage, ICP's first record, came out in 1992. Radiohead's Pablo Honey? '93. And you got to admit, that lamp is hella-cooler than this metal badge: http://www.waste.uk.com/Store/waste-radiohead-dii-22-179-logo+badge+badge.html
There's nothing cool about a band that sucks at life the way ICP does.
"hella-cooler"?
wtf does that mean?
For that matter, what's an ICP?
While the existance of such a lamp is somewhat disturbing, the fact that it's located in Aurora does not surprise me in the least.
I SAW SOMEBODY ON THE EL THIS MORNING WEARING AN ICP SHIRT.
See, I got so excited by that I had to write in all caps. I almost started laughing until I realized the dude was twice my size, then I laughed anyway.
