When people have nothing better to do.

... they make up rumours.

When they really have nothing better to do, they read rumour sites, and if they're gullible enough, believe everything they read.

C'mon la, Marilyn Manson did not remove his ribs so he could perform autofellatio.

I mean, you don't ever read about the surgery actually being performed, do you?

Professional sites always include, somewhere in the lines of text, "Some believe..", or "Rumours have it.."

Only amateur-looking sites go, "MARILYN MANSON removed his ribs so he could suck his own penis!!!!!!!!!!%&**(*^!!!"

Which is never the kind of site you want to get accurate information from.

Here, in case you're like Linggesh and you want "proof".

Urban legends - Getting waisted

Ribbed for his pleasure



Or do you believe Manson slaughtered puppies at his show?


Methinks people should give the man a break.

He's one of the most talented artists right now, if you look beyond his eccentricities and weird, creepy indulgences, well he's more sane than a lot of people out there.

He wouldn't send soldiers off to war, he wouldn't wield a blade and cut people up in 11 pieces, or slash the next person he sees on the road with a parang.

He just makes music.

He drinks, but he's not the only rock artist who does.

He wears make-up, but if you think that wrong just because he isn't female, then you're a sexist. That's your problem, not his.

So, friends from high school and college, Marilyn Manson is not a freak. At least, not by your definition of freak being 'someone who removes his ribs to pleasure himself'.

And contrary to belief, listening to Manson doesn't make you a stupid, naive, angsty teen, neither does it make you (and I quote classmate) "develop your inner demons".

(Would you believe me if I told you listening to Manson can actually inspire you?)


Thankyou and goodbye!
