The only person that I know that is an ICP fan has Schizophrenia. Due to past experience I myself, am not down with the clown. I'm mentally broken when it comes to them haha.

Oddly enough my brother hates Chrono Cross' ost because his old roomate played the game for 12 hours a day full blast while yelling at the tv. x.x

YOU'RE NOT DOWN WITH THE CLOWN???

I can only imagine if I were. My wife has a body-paralyzing fear of clowns.
