As you can read from the article it appears that it was another well behaved gathering with just a handful of arrests and some minor injuries.

Hey ninjas! How you all doing? I hope you had a great time during the 19th annual Gathering of The Juggalos. So now that Whoop Stock is over with, are you suffering from PGD? (Post Gathering Depression) Well, have no fear cause your boy Hormel Jay has something for your depressed asses. One of the staff members here at Juggalo News, sent me list of what you ninjas can do to avoid Post Gathering Depression. You might have saw her and visited or you might not but either way, this is what Sativa Syllie sent me about how to beat PGD!

Now that we’ve gathered and lathered, the infamous Post Gathering Depression begins to creep in. I met quite a few newbies this year, and they usually get it there worst, so it’s time for a bit if help with the dreaded PGD.

– ALWAYS, ALWAYS, CALL YOUR MOM!
– Take your tent and pop it up in your yard, then put your stuff in. Now go get the water hose and fill the tent with water. Next, you wanna get in the tent and zip tie it closed so you can’t get out.
– Yell at random strangers “Show me your butthole!” (We may lose a few of you with this one, but you’d be surprised at how many buttholes you’ll see)
– Drive to Walmart the next time you need to poop. Make your way to the closest bathroom in the store and do your business. When you’re finished, make sure to tell any employees you see that you’ll see them tomorrow!
– Go leave a poop dollar at your local hang out spot and wait for the fun to begin!
– Instead of driving anywhere, walk to your destination. To make it work, be sure you choose a path full of rocks that goes up hill…. Both ways!
– Buy fireworks in bulk and shoot them at random times during the day and at anyone that passes by. Go ahead and shoot yourself with one or two, just to make it authentic
– Take the coldest shower you can, then walk directly out into the yard and roll around for a bit. It’s even more effective if you do this while it’s raining.
– Rent a porta-potty for a week and invite all the people you know to come use it every day. Be sure to only put one roll of toilet paper in and don’t clean it. On the last day, drop in a cherry bomb and run away as fast as possible. You may even want to ask one of your friends to go ahead and do their business on top of the porta-potty.
– Any time you see a long line, just go stand it. Even if you don’t know what the line is for, the waiting is the most important part. Do this as many times as possible for as long as possible.
– Rent a golf cart and build a tent filled obstacle course in your yard. Having a few drinks and a few blunts beforehand makes this task more authentic. Make sure when you hit a tent, you autograph it and drive away immediately hit another one. Ask a few of your friends if they’ll walk through this obstacle course and step in front of you from time to time.
– spend at least an hour making your face paint look awesome, then pour an entire two liter of faygo on your head. Don’t be a wuss and use the diet, non sticky faygo. Go with a 3 liter of that good ol’ sticky grape faygo! Once you’ve emptied that bottle, hug as many people as you can, making sure you smear face paint on every surface you encounter.
– Set a custom alarm for an hour or so after you go to sleep. Personalize it with a recording of someone yelling “FUCK YO SLEEP!” Do this any and every time you decide to get some shut eye.
– Turn on every television and radio you own on full blast. Now decide which one you want to listen to the most and try to hear that and only that while the other noise continues around you.
See you all next year for the Super Gathering!!!
– Sativa Sylli

So there you ninjas go! Follow this list and you too can beat PGD! Until next time, peace!

With all the articles that recently came out about juggalo facepaint fooling facial recognition technology, apparently one of which somehow (assumedly via a Google alert for anything regarding “technology”) popped up on one of Elon Musk’s screens.

Now, typically a simple tweet with an article link would be no big deal, but he couldn’t just hit that “tweet” button, no; he included with it a “Whoop whoop” at the top.

And if that wasn’t enough, this little gem of an exchange happens..

In all the jumble of retweets, favorites, and replies, he responds to this particular one asking if he’s “down with the clown”.

But the icing on the cake comes from when Violent J, I assume jokingly, suggested that Musk toss some money his way in support as a show of his juggaloism:

So I leave it up to you to decide, is Elon Musk a Juggalo? Or just clowning around on Twitter?

From Reuters:

 

Facial recognition software is becoming more pervasive, which has some Orwellian implications for privacy. Security and privacy researcher Ian O’Neill has discovered a way to beat the system: get decked out in Juggalo paint.

“Facial recognition generally relies on looking for a few different important facial features – nose, eyes, mouth, eyebrows, and jawline,” O’Neill told RT. O’Neill discovered that Juggalo makeup, worn by fans of ‘the worst band in the world,’ Insane Clown Posse, can defeat most kinds of facial recognition tech.

“This makeup actually replaces the jawline, as well as a few other large features, which makes it very difficult to match it to other regular faces,” O’Neill said. While heavy makeup is often used in other musical subcultures – like the ‘corpse paint’ favored by black metal artists – only Juggalo makeup has the jawline-obscuring, face hiding characteristics needed to reliably fudge facial recognition software.

As far back as 2016, a Georgetown Law Center report revealed that half of all American adults have had their faces recorded and included in police databases. That same year, police in Maryland were using facial recognition software to identify protesters and match them with mugshots.

More recently, online retail giant Amazon has started selling its big-brother-like ‘Rekognition’ technology to government and law enforcement agencies across the US. Rekognition can track, identify, and analyze people in real time, recognizing up to 100 individual people in a single image. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has warned that the rollout of Rekognition “raises profound civil liberties and civil rights concerns.”

O’Neill is concerned about the implications of facial recognition, and he warns that it’s not just law enforcement that people should be worried about.

It could be potentially used maliciously, like waiting outside hospitals to sell information on who was there to insurance companies, or other things that might be morally questionable,” he said. After the revelation earlier this year that Facebook sent an undercover doctor to several top US hospitals to try to solicit confidential patient information, leaving such powerfully invasive technology in the hands of Silicon Valley might generate a lot of interest in new privacy hacks.

However, hiding as a Juggalo could draw more attention from law enforcement. As a predominantly white, underclass subculture, Juggalos are designated as a “loosely organized hybrid gang” by the FBI. The National Gang Intelligence Center has warned that as well as paying good money for songs like ‘Miracles’, Juggalos will “evolve into a more sophisticated criminal entity through associations with hardened, experienced gang members.”

The band, led by Detroit rappers ‘Violent J’ and ‘Shaggy 2 Dope,’ launched an unsuccessful discrimination lawsuit against the FBI in response to the designation. Despite having the backing of the ACLU, the lawsuit was thrown out of court last December, leaving the band penniless and begging billionaire fan Elon Musk for money on Twitter.

However, Juggalo makeup does not fool all kinds of facial recognition software. Technology that uses depth-perception instead of light-recognition, like the kind used by Apple’s Face ID unlocking system on its latest iPhones, won’t be tricked by patchy clown makeup.

Right now, wearing a mask is the only effective way to fool depth-perception systems, making it all but impossible to hide in plain sight.

Other unproven ways to hide involve exploiting vulnerabilities inherent in the machine-learning process. Last year, a team of MIT researchers found that Google’s object-recognition algorithm could be fooled by objects painted in patterns that cause the AI software to flip out. In one case, the researchers tricked the AI into thinking a 3D-printed toy turtle was a rifle.

“Unfortunately, most of the techniques to avoid facial recognition on yourself are generally quite drastic,” O’Neill told RT. “Instead it may be better to limit the sorts of online exposure you have on social media, and consider what that facial recognition identity might be used for. Even if you can’t prevent people from recognizing your face, you can limit what they can do with that information.”

O’Neill also pointed out that while Juggalo makeup is currently effective at hiding your face from light-based programs, it might not be that way for long. According to the security researcher, algorithms that can detect heavy makeup and adjust the photo to make a match will not be tricky to implement, and it will only take time.

Until then, the safest place to remain anonymous might be the ‘Gathering of the Juggalos,’ a yearly music festival organized by the Insane Clown Posse’s record label, Psychopathic Records. This July, thousands of fans will gather in Thornville, Ohio, for four days of rap, rock, pro wrestling, Faygo-chugging and ‘whoop whooping,’ all safe from Big Brother’s gaze behind their thickly-applied clown makeup.

Juggalos! After all the waiting, its finally officially official! Presenting: The 2018 Gathering of the Juggalos Infomercial!! That was a HUGE joint!
