So anyone else catch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia last night? I’ll assume a lot of you did. But in case you didn’t — it became the latest program to address America’s Juggalo problem.

What was interesting about the approach, however, was that instead of lampooning Juggalos, it looked at the ways in which Juggalos are persecuted, as the character of Charlie begins to mentor a young high school-aged Juggalo, whose name I believe was “Ricky,” and who was suffering from being bullied from the non-retards at his school. It was really quite touching, and it’s nice to see It’s Always Sunny being so socially conscious.

I haven’t been able to find any video clips of the episode to post, but here are some stills, courtesy the Juggalo site t-j-e.net.

So far today I’ve written about poor Pathology being in a serious bus accident, Attack Attack!, Oceano, and ICP. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, someone send me some good news before I slit my wrists.

I was really, really late to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia; a seemingly endless parade of people told me to check it out, and for whatever reason, I didn’t.

And then this past December I watched every single episode that’s been made thus far, plus that Christmas special thing, in under a week. So, yeah. I guess I should’ve listened to people a lot sooner.

New episodes don’t start until September, but while we wait, reader Hetal Bhatt sent us a link to the below video, which will be enjoyed by my fellow Sunny fans, and will probably not make a lick of sense to anyone else. And to those people, I say: don’t do what I did. Start catching up on Sunny now. You won’t regret it.

This recording is by a band called Triggered Impulse, by the way.
