Did Marilyn Manson Almost Beat a Woman To Death in his New "Snuff" Video?

• Where's the video then?

• Sara E. nailed it, spot-on perfect: it's a video. It's music. And for better or worse, it's art. "It doesn't take a genius or artist to know that." Similarly, the same can be said of this lame attempt to insert the twisted and delusional ideology of 'political correctness' via the abhorrant act that is spousal abuse (I too grew up in that type of household but I don't let trivial things like Marilyn Manson videos twist my skirt in a bunch - grow up and get over yourselves) in an even more abhorrant attempt by LA Weekly to insert their unwarranted and unsolicited opinions on the subject of Marilyn Manson via abuse, DIRECTLY INSUINUATING - WITHOUT ANY DIRECT AND/OR SUBSTANTIATED PROOF - THAT HE ENGAGED IN SUCH BEHAVIOR. If those at LA Weekly don't like MM or his music, fine. But Brian's right - have the balls to call him out on that point - AND THAT POINT ONLY - and stop hiding behind the ajbectly pussiferous act of INSINUATING THAT he "beat a POOR WOMAN (even more mental pictures based in prejudicial BS) to DEATH". Yet AMAZINGLY the video IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND ON THIS SITE, so it must not be that believeable or THEY WOULD HAVE POSTED IT, instead of the insipid video they put in it's place. NOTE TO LA WEEKLY: if you're going to run your mouth, you best back it up with IMMEDIATE PROOF instead of lying about "not wanting to play a part in showing the video...blah-blah-blah..." and asking the reader to go to Google or YouTube to find it. Chickens*%t lame-assed garbage, to say the least and further proof that the video in question shows NOTHING WHATSOEVER that would back up your specious claims. But when considering the level of talent of "journalists" at LA Weekly, what else should one expect? NOTE TO BRIAN WARNER: After reading what I consider to be borderline slander and libel, you have my blessing to defend yourself as you see fit. However, that being said, don't lower yourself to THEIR level by using physical violence, but instead exact monitary justice via the courts system and sue LA Weekly into abject poverty, in which you can then take over the paper and maybe make it one of the better papers in the greater Los Angeles area. I'm just sayin'...

• Desire to know much more about the similar. Can you carve out additional data?

• Perfectly ghastly video, yes. But if a woman made a video about harming or even killing an ex-lover as an act of revenge, would it be treated with the same sense of outrage? I can think of at least a couple of Lady Gaga videos where she kills a guy. So I'm not saying it's a good thing . . . but let's at least hold everyone to the same standard.

• I was expecting a childish, ignorant reaction to Manson's video, but this is borderline psychotic.

• Weak posting. Under the guise of disapproval you're actually playing the same game of getting eyeballs from controversy. If you truly didn't want to help people get to the video at issue, why mention the sites where it can be located? Sometimes disapproval is best expressed by simply ignoring that which is offensive. This is one of those times.

• Yes, I'm sure Manson did this on purpose so he could make sure he has evidence of him committing a horrendous crime to make sure he gets prosecuted because what person wants to publicize a music video for us to witness a crime esp. Manson? From Evan Rachel Wood heartbreak and meeting him once, his "evil" persona isnt all that terrible, he still is human & has some nice guy in him, he is not all that bad, sure we all make bad decisions, but he loves controversy, hes a madman like that. He's not that stupid to do something on tape...what a surprise, a gothic man does a violent video, that never happens right? :P

• @Kate-Madonna The fact this article exists means he's already "won". They didn't prove to "Brian"(Who ever that is) that sensationalism works. He proved it to them, that they seek it out before anything. I mean look "Did Marilyn Manson Almost Beat a Woman To Death in his New "Snuff" Video?" who is the sensationalist here? LOL DOES EVERYTIME SOMEONE DIE ON CAMERA IS IT FOR REALZ? HEADLINE CONTENT!

• This is so ridiculous! It's a fucking music video, and expression of art, it's meant to stir up a reaction. That's what "Marilyn Manson" is. Get over yourself and stop jumping to conclusions. He is not really beating that girl to death in the video, he's not some sicko. Yes I am a huge manson supporter. Just because he is a "shock" rocker does not mean he is a wife beater, or abusive to women in any way. ARTIST, that's what he is. Mabye your warped little mind wanted to just jump to conclusions. Think before you post anything so stupid again.

• I do not believe ONE word of it. I think the media class bandits have done it again! Poor Manson. I knew he was too smart and outspoken that this would happen to him one day. There is a wave of bottom dwellers on the internet who are convicting people before trial, persuading sheep and taking over internet markets. It's happening overnight, people! Don't let them do it! Don't let them warp justice through OUR medium!

• Brilliant, and intelligent way to handle this. Thank you for reporting- with correct criticism and tone, but also offering the lovely Patrick Stewart talking about WHAT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT than a darn music video. I fear that the press will get the song played- and then? Brian will have won again.
