"THIS JUGGALO JUST TWERKED ON A DUDE'S GUT!" TMZ announced Friday, headlining a video of a woman in a tight top performing a lap dance on one extremely large lap. But how did this unholy union of ass and belly come to be?

Gawker's resident expert on Juggalo culture, Camille Dodero, has been attending the annual Gathering of the Juggalos, a five-day music festival hosted by Detroit's horrorcore rappers Insane Clown Posse, who proudly advertise themselves as the "Most Hated Band in the World."

On Friday at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, a man was discovered dead in a tent around 2pm. Late yesterday, the Hardin County Coroner identified the young man as Cory Collins from nearby Harrisburg, Illinois.

The 14th annual Gathering of the Juggalos is currently underway at HogRock Campgrounds in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. This afternoon, a body was found in one of the tents camped on site.

It's that time of the year again, the time in which Insane Clown Posse have released their homespun infomercial for the horrorcore duo's annual Gathering of the Juggalos, held this year from August 7 through the 11.

Last night on The Simpsons, four Moe's Tavern regulars won the Springfield Lottery, a $200,000 prize to be split among Homer, Lenny, Carl, and Moe—except that Carl disappeared with the winning ticket. As they searched Carlson's apartment for clues, Moe wished his former friend a particularly unlovely fate, which you can see in the above clip: death by urinal at the Gathering of the Juggalos.

A few years ago, a talented actress and musical genius named Tila Tequila was invited to a clown festival in the Midwestern woods, to perform with some Ringling Brothers gigolos. Or something like that, she didn't read the e-mails. But the booking paid damn well for her live karaoke performance, and the worst thing that could possibly happen at a clown camp would be a flower squirting her in the eye, so she took the gig.

The 13th annual Gathering of the Juggalos is underway in Cave-in-Rock, Ill., this weekend, and the ninjas are not fucking around this year: Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, the godfathers of the Juggalo movement and the duo that comprises the Insane Clown Posse, reportedly sat everyone down in the seminar tent this afternoon to announce that they're taking legal action against the FBI.

Woop woop! That's right, ninjas — it's that time of the year again! Five full days of freshness, Faygo, and frivolous fucking: The 2012 Gathering of the Juggalos is upon us like a psychopathic circus tent.

Given his warpaint, dark clothing, and facial expression that captures the angst and existential suffering of humankind, you might assume that this exuberant young man belongs to Homo sapiens juggalo—whose ranks have been gathering in southern Illinois this weekend to drink Faygo and pelt Charlie Sheen with trash.

People outside of the Midwest may not know what a Juggalo is. Trust us, they are amazing creatures. But was microcelebrity Tila Tequila really attacked at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois with piss, shit and bricks last night?
