Vulture’s Stupidest Things of Summer: Everyone Sleeps, But the Juggalos
It's August and everyone's on vacation — except the Juggalos. Over the weekend, in what would otherwise have been a very slow week for stupidity, they had their annual gathering. This probably would have charted all by itself, even if it had not degenerated into the first annual Throw Rocks, Bottles, and Excrement at Tila Tequila Gathering. But because it did, it debuts very high on the list, and looks sure to last — eek — just the two more weeks necessary to be one of the summer's stupidest things. Also debuting this week: a new Katy Perry lyric, a horrible fake vampire movie, piranha-anxiety, and Spencer Pratt: Author. Stupid, we're almost done with you.
1. Katy Perry almost outdoes her “Milk, milk, lemonade, around the back’s where chocolate’s made” lyric with the opening line to "Firework": "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" We eagerly anticipate the inevitable, Internet-provided Katy Perry–American Beauty mash-up. (Which won't be better than this not at all stupid, plastic-bag nature mockumentry.)
2. This past weekend, Tila Tequila performed at the 11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos and had poop and rocks thrown at her. We're not sure who is worse here: the feces-hurling Juggalos (who also launched projectiles at Method Man), or Tequila, who — besides just being Tila Tequila, and besides pretending to be a singer — agreed to perform in front of a bunch of likely poop-throwers she was warned hated her, and then, after being so obviously wronged by them, immediately tossed out any potential goodwill by going on and on about a lawsuit. All we know for sure: Tila Tequila + Juggalos + doo-doo = stupid.
3. Mel Gibson.
4. Yogi Bear's “Great Things Come in Bears!” tagline.
5. Spencer Pratt, no longer masquerading as a hobo, will now masquerade as a memoirist, threatening to write a book in which he is "Not holding anything back."
