MYTH No. 5: Marilyn Manson Is A Puppy-Killing Nazi
REALITY: Maybe we should let him explain…
Manson goes on the record:
"Some people think I'm one of the rock stars who had surgery so I could suck my own dick. Quite honestly, I WOULD NOT WANT TO SUCK MY DICK.
It's been in a lot of dirty places. The Christian Coalition said I was throwing puppies and cocaine into the audience and demanding they kill the dogs and do the drugs, when, in fact, I'VE NEVER HURT AN ANIMAL AND I DON'T GIVE AWAY DRUGS FOR FREE.
"There's also that thing about me being from Mr. Belvedere. I never even saw that show. I hope the real actor is using that rumor to get laid [see below]. I've heard I'm a Nazi and that I was grown in a petri dish.

2. Nirvana
3. Lady Gaga
4. Biggie & Tupac
5. Marilyn Manson

THE TRUTH IS BIGGER: I've snorted sea monkeys. I've snorted mud. I could tell you sexual misadventures that would have you reaching for the lotion. But the scariest possible thing about me is that I HAVE MORE KILLS ON MY RECORD THAN ANYBODY.
"In the last ten years, I've been blamed for more school violence than anyone. More than Ozzy or Judas Priest. I find out about the murders that don't get noticed by the national press because I'm associated with all of them. It's strange -- MARILYN MANSON IS A VILLAIN CREATED BY PEOPLE WHO NEED HIM TO EXIST IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEMS THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
"[A woman's muffled screams are audible in the background] Did you hear that? I can start another legend right now. I'M THE ROCK NESS MONSTER. I'M THE BOGEYMAN." -- MARILYN MANSON (as told to David Marchese)

I think that people are just plain scared of him so they make stuff up about him so that they can create a fear and hatred for everyone else. If you really listened to him, you would realize that none of these things are true and that he is really an intelligent, down to earth person. He just presents himself differently, he's not afraid to speak out, he steps over boundaries, and he makes us question things so people are very threatened by it. That is how all of these ridiculous rumors came into play. So if you want to be rational, don't buy all these ridiculous, unrealistic rumors and think about it. I'm not asking the world to like him, I just want you to look at this rationally.

I f***ing hate this guy. Stupid attention whore, do us all a favor and please grow the f**k up. I'm usually not the kind of person who expresses hatred, if I hat something, it's better to just ignore it rather than fueling the fire with hateful comments. But I just cannot let this slide, who does this a**hole think he is? Maybe at some point in his career he was a "musician" but what is he now? I won't answer that because I've already wasted too much time on this topic and it's just making me too mad.

all i have to say to keep this short and simple is that there are soo many roumors about him that its gotten to the point of insanity. and there has been a trend going around in the "media" lately. the "media" has been spreading false quotes to "validate" lies spread by them. dont believe everything u read ppl. only believe what u see.
manson has done some crazy **** throughout his life, but he will admit it. his life is literally like an open book and if he did it he would tell anyone who asks. what reason would some1 like him have to lie?
last of all i gotta say that hes a genius and made(s) my life better. if it werent 4 him i wouldnt be me.

He is a brilliant man. He has created someone everyone loves or loves to hate, either way, we think something about him. Saying and doing insane things is how he builds this alter ego. I am impressed by him and laugh at the jack asses who bad mouth him. They don't seem to realize they are only making him bigger!

"How is snorting a sea monkey categorized as never hurting an animal?" --That made me laugh.
To all those who commented on the capitalization of the words...Oh geez.
And as for the short article....Anyone ever "hating" on Marilyn Manson should hear him actually talk sometime. That man, as wierd and outrageous as he is, is a very intelligent man that does "have a soul". Aot of people judge him for what he portrays, which in a way, I guess artists try to go for. But once he starts getting blamed for so many people's horrible violent acts, that is completely different. This man never instructed anyone to do such things, he's just an easy target. Like some anonymous poster said, people take advantage of his persona, his image....and people just jump on the bandwagon.
Also, it doesn't really matter when he started caring about his image, what matters is that he cares at all. Those violent acts he's become associated with are not his fault, why shouldn't he try to clear things up?

He has elaborated on them extensively many MANY times.
He's putting this **** into quick captions because its the only way to get people out of his fan base will read.
If you want to read more about it, just find any interview from the last 10 years or, if you're too lazy for that, just type "manson interview shooting" into youtube ;)
Of course a celebrity cares about his image but i'm sure you're happy enough with your cynical quips not to bother with the man behind music you've probably never really listened to.

To Krunch who likes to judge without any actual cultural knowledge:
that post was in Portuguese and that person posted something from Brazil where they probably live. While I think illegals are just trying to live as best they can, I don't believe them being here helps us any either. Still, that's no excuse to be hateful when *everyone* immigrated to America from somewhere else.
You're not funny and if you're not going to talk about music here, then shut up.

Hey Kit, right on. It's probably lucky for Krunch that he has so little idea what's really going on, because if he did, it would scare the crap out of him. Brazil is coming on strong, the one's I know are working hard, and their smart. It's true their government is corrupt, but so is ours, and ours is getting worse while theirs is getting better. And they are making the better music. Check out any of the artists (particularly Lulina) on Wild Animal Kingdom's compilation, Brazil Could Be Your Life (http://www.wakrecs.com/) and you'll wish that it was! They want to visit here (most don't want to stay), and anybody lucky enough to visit there will find their life changed in a way that hearing Nirvana or Tupak or Lady Gaga never will.

If you're such a screw-up you have to worry about competing for work with people who can barely speak English... sounds like a personal problem, buddy.
And that's Portuguese- not Spanish, by the way. Morons like you are the reason people hate America. Thank god for celebrities like Marilyn or the world would have stopped putting up with our crap years ago.

You do realize that magazines occasionally type particularly interesting lines in bold to make them stand out more so that people scanning the article will read one and be drawn to read it more fully, and that MANSON DID NOT ACTUALLY WRITE OR SPEAK IN CAPITAL LETTERS?
Welcome to the wonderful world of online versions of print magazines.

REVOLUÇÃO QUILOMBOLIVARIANA!
Manifesto em solidariedade, liberdade e desenvolvimento dos povos afro-ameríndio latinos, no dia 01 de maio dia do trabalhador foi lançado o manifesto da Revolução Quilombolivariana fruto de inúmeras discussões que questionavam a situação dos negros, índios da América Latina, que apesar de estarmos no 3º milênio em pleno avanço tecnológico, o nosso coletivo se encontra a margem e marginalizados de todos de todos os benefícios da sociedade capitalista euro-americano, que em pese que esse grupo de países a pirâmide do topo da sociedade mundial e que ditam o que e certo e o que é errado, determinando as linhas de comportamento dos povos comandando pelo imperialismo norte-americano, que decide quem é do bem e quem do mal, quem é aliado e quem é inimigo, sendo que essas diretrizes da colonização do 3º Mundo, Ásia, África e em nosso caso América Latina, tendo como exemplo o nosso Brasil, que alias é uma força de expressão, pois quem nos domina é a elite associada a elite mundial, é de conhecimento que no Brasil que hoje nos temos mais de 30 bilionários, sendo que a alguns destes dessas fortunas foram formadas como um passe de mágica em menos de trinta anos, e até casos de em menos de 10 anos, sendo que algumas dessas fortunas vieram do tempo da escravidão, e outras pessoas que fugidas do nazismo que vieram para cá sem nada, e hoje são donos deste país, ocupando posições estratégicas na sociedade civil e pública, tomando para si todos os canais de comunicação uma das mais perversas mediáticas do Mundo. A exclusão dos negros e a usurpação das terras indígenas criou-se mais e 100 milhões de brasileiros sendo estes afro-ameríndio descendentes vivendo num patamar de escravidão, vivendo no desemprego e no subemprego com um dos piores salários mínimos do Mundo, e milhões vivendo abaixo da linha de pobreza, sendo as maiores vitimas da violência social, o sucateamento da saúde publica e o péssimo sistema de ensino, onde milhões de alunos tem dificuldades de uma simples soma ou leitura, dando argumentos demagógicos de sustentação a vários políticos que o problema do Brasil e a educação, sendo que na realidade o problema do Brasil são as péssimas condições de vida das dezenas de milhões dos excluídos e alienados pelo sistema capitalista oligárquico que faz da elite do Brasil tão poderosas quantos as do 1º Mundo. É inadmissível o salário dos professores, dos assistentes de saúde, até mesmo da policia e os trabalhadores de uma forma geral, vemos o surrealismo de dezenas de salários pagos pelos sistemas de televisão Globo, SBT e outros aos seus artistas, jornalistas, apresentadores e diretores e etc.
Manifesto da Revolução Quilombolivariana vem ocupar os nossos direito e anseios com os movimentos negros afro-ameríndios e simpatizantes para a grande tomada da conscientização que este país e os países irmãos não podem mais viver no inferno, sustentando o paraíso da elite dominante este manifesto Quilombolivariano é a unificação e redenção dos ideais do grande líder Zumbi do Quilombo dos Palmares a 1º Republica feita por negros e índios iguais, sentimento este do grande líder libertador e construí dor Simon Bolívar que em sua luta de liberdade e justiça das Américas se tornou um mártir vivo dentro desses ideais e princípios vamos lutar pelos nossos direitos e resgatar a história do nossos heróis mártires como Che Guevara, o Gigante Oswaldão líder da Guerrilha do Araguaia. São dezenas de histórias que o Imperialismo e Ditadura esconderam.Há mais de 160 anos houve o Massacre de Porongos os lanceiros negros da Farroupilha o que aconteceu com as mulheres da praça de 1º de maio? O que aconteceu com diversos povos indígenas da nossa América Latina, o que aconteceu com tantos homens e mulheres que foram martirizados, por desejarem liberdade e justiça? Existem muitas barreiras uma ocultas e outras declaradamente que nos excluem dos conhecimentos gerais infelizmente o negro brasileiro não conhece a riqueza cultural social de um irmão Colombiano, Uruguaio, Argnetina,Boliviana, Peruana,Venezuelano, Argentino, Porto-Riquenho ou Cubano. Há uma presença física e espiritual em nossa história os mesmos que nos cerceiam de nossos valores são os mesmos que atacam os estadistas Hugo Chávez e Evo Morales Ayma , não admitem que esses lideres de origem nativa e afro-descendente busquem e tomem a autonomia para seus iguais, são esses mesmos que no discriminam e que nos oprime de nossa liberdade de nossas expressões que não seculares, e sim milenares. Neste 1º de maio de diversas capitais e centenas de cidades e milhares de pessoas em sua maioria jovem afro-ameríndio descendente e simpatizante leram o manifesto Revolução Quilombolivariana e bradaram Viva a,Viva Simon Bolívar Viva Zumbi, Viva Che, Viva Martin Luther King,Malcolm X Viva Oswaldão, Viva Mandela, Viva Chávez, Viva Evo Ayma,Rafael Correa, Fernado Lugo, Viva a União dos Povos Latinos afro-ameríndios, Viva 1º de maio, Viva osTrabalhadores e Trabalhadoras dos Brasil e de todos os povos irmanados.

He could at least do us the benefit of actually elaborating on any of these points. If he honestly believes typing with caps-lock on lends him automatic authority and credibility, he might as well not bother with any of these vague "clarifications" and just write "NOTHING YOU'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT ME IS TRUE!!!!" Anyway, since when does Marilyn Manson care about his image?

How is snorting a sea monkey categorized as never hurting an animal?

I'm so sick of how Marilyn Manson as a band (not just the lead singer) doesn't get any mainstream credit. All they see is the front man.
