dont get me wrong i think a well made horror film is a good social thing, it reminds us of the boundaries of what is acceptable behaviour, but coupled with social ills and obsessive personalities the consequences can be horrific, and marylin manson appeals to the darker side of human nature and glorifies an obsession with fear, its all about tipping points and going a little too far, id stab manson up soon as look at him cos hes not selling his shit to stable people, hes just playing a market and the majority of his market are impressionable disillusioned teenagers and he plays on the adolescent feeling of being an outsider, hes no worse than ronald mcdonald - in fact very similar- marketing a very adult product to an impressionable audience who do not have solid moral grounding, and whos to say those columbine kids would have done what they did or to such an extent that they did had they not been listening to his hateful tirades
free speech is an absolute right but a grown man should know better than to play with chidren geddit?
like michael jackson only saner, slyer and more power hungry, you dont see many other death metal bands waxing lyrical about how theyre the antichrist and in the same breath claiming that its just music. theyre deadly serious (NIN cradle etc)and have healthy respect for the horrors they purvey.
there is something particularily nasty and sexual about mansons desire to be the worst of the worst.he should have some respect and top himself, i would if i thought id played even the tiniest part in such an horrific event- i hope he reads this.

evil begets evil- fact.
