Marilyn Mansion Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Shock People

Image

OVERLAND PARK, KS—Stung by flagging album sales and Eminem's supplanting him as Middle America's worst nightmare, shock rocker Marilyn Manson has embarked on a door-to-door tour of suburbia in a desperate, last-ditch effort to shock and offend average Americans.

Accompanied by bandmates Twiggy Ramirez, Madonna Wayne Gacy, and Zim Zum, Manson kicked off his 50-city "Boo" tour Jan. 26 in Overland Park, a conservative, middle-class suburb of Kansas City.

"When we first laid eyes on Overland Park, with its neat little frame houses, immaculately landscaped lawns, and SUVs in the driveways, we couldn't wait to swoop down on it like the Black Death," said Manson, born Brian Warner in Canton, OH. "We were like, 'Welcome to our nightmare, you bloated, pustulent pigs.'"

I'll be the first to admit that I have three Marilyn Manson CD's and absolutely hate Eminem. Especially after Slim Shady dissed Moby. It's too bad he didn't stop by my place :(

I finally divorced beer and proposed to whiskey, but I occassionally cheat with fine wine.

Manson looks like a freak, but this is one of those cases where you can't judge a book by its cover. If you get the chance, see a movie called " Bowling for Columbine", directed by Michael Moore. He has a sequence in that movie where he interviews the "freak" (Manson) himself. To be perfectly honest, Manson shocked me with some of his insight on what's going on in the world. He hits the nail on the head, check it out.

Saw it back in Orlando. Folks in the theater applauded after he spoke ... it was right on target.
