Welcome back to the ROX-TV website. As always, we’d like to say thanks to the returning readers and welcome to any rookies. We like to offer people a chance to get away from their busy lives and check out into something a little less heavy. The world is a scary place these days, people are uptight, standoffish, quick to jump, and promoting goodwill is coming in dead last. I reject this shit. Being nice is free so spread it around. We are all different, all tired, most of us are broke, and that’s ok. We are here to relax and turn down the volume on life’s many fires for just a spell. For the next twenty minutes, nothing else matters.

Tonight, we have something special for the Juggalos and anyone else who follows the culture and the universe created by Insane Clown Posse. You know the name, you know the legacy, and tonight we will be discussing Violent J’s most recent project (I have no way of knowing that, but the episode dropped like three weeks ago, so I hope that’s still considered current) “Love Don’t Judge“. I hadn’t heard of it before but that didn’t really matter because I’m like a broken satellite anyway. Sometimes I can send information and sometimes I can get it back, but for a third of the year…it’s anyone’s guess. I don’t know about things that I should, I do know about things that I shouldn’t, and at the end of the day I’m not sure if I come out ahead or a little behind. Fuck it. We got something cool to talk about so onward and upward.

Like I said, I wasn’t familiar with the show per se, but I’m not on social media if that explains anything away. I do remember chilling with Rude Boy at a backyard barbeque not that long ago, talking about some of the latest moves and projects on the way. He mentioned that he was working with Violent J on something but there were no details that could be shared at the time. I understood. It would be like me writing a book, publishing for free online, and then trying to get someone to buy it. Some shit has to take time, kind of like that HEINZ 57 OG saying “good things come to those that wait”. I figured whatever it was, it had to be fresh. And since my brain is prone to forgetting everyday things pretty fast, before long it had drifted into the recesses of my mind. Gone but not forgotten. The good news is that I’m cyclical in nature (sometimes) and usually…everything gets another spin unless evolution killed something off.

Sorry if this reads a little choppy. I’ve been flirting with Mimosa (the strain, not the breakfast hero) all morning and it has caused some difficulties, in what is otherwise a pretty simple process. Never underestimate marijuana’s influence on making things fun and exciting. Anyways, where were we? Oh yes, “Love Don’t Judge”. I checked the title out online and a host of different shit came flooding the screen. On Facebook, “Love Don’t Judge” has 7.1 million followers and after skimming through the red tape, found the episode or whatever they call them now with Violent J and Sarah Russi.

The premise for the show is that people are loving other people for the sake of love only, regardless of the optics. I don’t think I can unpack it past that. For me, that is how I understand the show. Obviously, there are some different types of people and lifestyles showcased, but I don’t believe in kicking someone out of the group if they aren’t bothering anyone. Everyone deserves a fair shot at least once. What ever happened to that really great saying that Americans used to love saying to each other? Oh yeah “TO EACH HIS OWN“. Or was it “Don’t fuck with me and I won’t fuck with you“. Oh well, the idea is that we should be a tolerant society here in America as well as abroad and that’s ok.

ROX-TV Review of “Love Don’t Judge”

Platform: YouTube

Length: 8 minutes, 8 seconds

Participants: Violent J, Sarah Russi, and Rude Boy

“This is Sarah, she fell in love with Violent J”

I was kind of surprised at the length of the video. I thought it might be longer but maybe I don’t have all the information. When I think of a show, I’m hoping for at least 20 minutes or so. But because it is rather short, perhaps it’s just a piece of a larger episode, waiting to drop later? I don’t know. I continued to watch for more clues and direction. Within the first three seconds, they have introduced a lovely “Sarah” to the show and informed the viewers that she fell in love with Violent J (Insane Clown Posse). At the five second mark, the Juggalos get their first glimpse of The Duke. Within 11 seconds the program lets the viewer know that Violent J is one half of the Insane Clown Posse and that Sarah is an Only Fans girl.

Within twenty seconds of hitting play, Violent J explains how she came into his orbit and Sarah tells the viewers she has been into older men and may have “daddy issues”. The show appears to move at lightning speed. I hate waiting for the good parts so that suits me just fine. The show keeps rolling and Violent J and Sarah are chilling on what looks to be a fly date to the local park. The sun is shining in the background and the luscious green backdrop is pleasant to look at. I just have to laugh at times because here is my favorite serial killer clown, in some different settings than I am normally accustomed to.

Do I dig it? Well of course. If Violent J is on the show, then he has got some love thing going on and good for him. We all deserve love. If the Duke is happy, then the logical next step is that the Juggalos are happy. The only people that might bitch about it are direct competition or the people that just bitch about things. Who fucking cares? For once I wish the bitch mouth complainers would do everyone a favor and fuck the fuck off. (Author’s Note: Here is a litmus test for the moaners. The next time you bitch about something, pause and listen after you have spoken. If no one in the room adds anything or agrees with you, maybe you aren’t on to something. If someone does agree with you but adds nothing, perhaps you just tasted the mirror and nothing else. Creepy right)

35 Seconds In

With less time than it takes to piss in public, the viewer has been radiated with a ton of information. I know I seem blown away by that and maybe I am. Maybe I’m high too. One never knows. The couple started reading hate mail from the little people. Most of the insults are a short cut to thinking. Although one line did get me laughing and I don’t think anyone will hold it against me because The Duke broke out into laughter as Sarah read the text on the show.

“My friend Rudy is coming over and he’s going to meet Sarah for the first time. Rudy is controversial”

-Violent J

So the Rude Boy is coming in to meet this Sarah chick and see if she is the real deal, or just toying with his best friend’s heart. Violent J is right on the money, because Rudy is a very electric cat. If this chick doesn’t have good intentions, you can bet that the Rude Boy will sniff that shit out. Incredibly on this trailer or episode or whatever the kids call them these days, by the 52nd Second, the Rude Boy is giving this mama the third degree to see where her heart is and if she is right for his homie.

“She does this fans only thing and you know…showing herself off”

-Rude Boy

So, the show sets up this chat, where Rudy gets to see what Sarah is thinking. “What’s your intentions with my homeboy? Do you love Joe? Damn, the Rude boy doesn’t waste time getting to the guts. But that’s why he’s Violent J’s homie going on more years than I can add up. There is a pause and then is a cut away to Sarah and The Duke hanging in the studio, smiling and enjoying each other’s company. They both run down how they met, and the viewers get the rest of the story. Sarah had a boyfriend at the time they met, but it didn’t stop her from rolling with the Carnival.

“Rudy ain’t gonna like what she’s doing though, Rudy’s old school as fuck”

-Violent J

The Conclusion

Well, I’ve watched the segment and I thought it was cool. It’s available on YouTube and probably a bunch of places I don’t know about. I think it’s worth looking at whether you know who these people are or not. Love is blind and this show proves it. I encourage you to watch the episode and have a good time. We are on this planet to enjoy ourselves too, not just worry about societies talking points. Like I said before and I’ll say it again, when people are talking shit and loudly…all I ask you to do is ponder this: Is the noise coming from direct competition? If so, toss it. Is the noise coming from people that we don’t care about anyway? If so, toss it. Who fucking cares.

Signing Off,
