It is a bit emo. The point about it promoting violence against women is ridiculous. Does Reservoir Dogs promote cutting off peoples ears? uh, no Does Snow White promote poisoning peoples food. FIN

This is either some sort of authentic expression or another ploy to get people talking about how “shocking” he is again. Someone else posted that Manson was never about shock– but one of the initial reasons the band formed the way it did was to test the boundaries of the media and censorship– in a way Manson’s art IS his shock value, his ability to test our boundaries and make us see things in a way we never would have before. That’s one of the reasons why I appreciate him, but that’s also one of the reasons why he is not as relevant anymore.

As for this song and his new image, I think it takes some getting used to. I will admit the “waah my heart is broken” kinda of stuff is getting a little too emo for some people’s tastes, but Manson never was one to care about what other people have to say about him. If it’s how he feels I say go for it. And btw, if anyone has learned anything from Manson over the years it should be that just because something appears one way doesn’t mean that’s what it supposedly is. Manson never burned a Bible so that his fans would “hate” God, and this video is most certainly not promoting domestic violence. It probably has ties to the way he feels inside, broken, ravaged, angry. I’m not the biggest fan of his new stuff but I still support everything he does.

Ok. Just because Manson does something that you don’t agree with and you’re too close-minded to attempt to see the meaning behind the song just proves his point in his music. The fact that most people today are ignorant and set in their ways and any type of depiction of an obscured message is not worth the time of day. Instead of wasting time criticizing something that clearly you are way too idiotic and this means you, “For the Retards,” why don’t you take a good hard look in the mirror and put down your Danielle Steele book and see that you may be more worthless and less fit to live than millions like those you slander and have no idea what you’re talking about.
He’s an artist and a good one at that. He may not be your highly acclaimed Taylor Swift (who makes her living by singing about getting her heart broken as you were criticizing Manson’s fans for) but his songs have way more of a meaning than any of the shit you attempt to call music. So while you may can try to cover up all of your abandonment issues and fact that you have no real say in how your life goes and the only possible way you feel that you can overcome something is by comenting on things that you looked on Google for in the first place, remember this: Before you try to convince everyone that you’re such a smart person who has seen the world, stop waiting tables or making Big Macs and (as hard as it may be for your brain to comprehend) accept the fact that there’s more to life than writing flames about someone who is clearly far more intellectual than you.

You people are small minded and retarded if you think this is ok. A bunch of pathetic, no name, worthless, loser followers are what you are. A group of emo “I wish I could be cool but I will never fit in” rejects who need to get busy slitting their own wrists to better this world. I look at all of your supportive comments and I think to myself… anyone that would think this was art or artistic expression is sick and depraved. I used to think Manson was an awesome artist who could teach us to think beyond and outside of the box, but this cry for attention from this washed up, old ass reject who has nothing left to offer but shit like this to make us talk about him disgusting. I’m sure all the supporters of Manson who have nothing better to do than light their palms on fire with lighters would think “oh, he’s such a troubled soul… he’s heartbroken… she asked for it… she deserved it” are those who have the brain capacity of a snail. I feel sorry that he and his supporters have reduced themselves to this. But what would you uneducated “nothing to contribute to society” tards know anyway. Maybe if I lived in a trailer or with a parent who couldn’t keep their hands off me I would know where you are coming from.

Is this really any worse than when Lady Gaga or the Dixie Chicks (or whoever) makes videos about killing men as an act of revenge (or with some of Gaga’s stuff apparently just for fun)?

This video portrays in grisly detail the process of being hurt/abused to the point that you want to return the favor . . . without any humor or glamour involved. And I think that’s what really disturbs people. I’ll admit, it disturbed me . . . first time in a long time a music video has done that. Even Rammstein’s latest video which is basically a porno didn’t shock me like it did some people . . . I was able to see the humor in it. There is no humor in this . . . and I don’t think there was meant to be.

But . . . let’s play fair . . . there have been many, many songs and even videos made with the theme of taking revenge on (yes, even killing) an ex-lover. It’s not an all male thing (and how could people forget that MM has always had an androgynous image anyway?). And while it’s not the most pleasant thing in the world . . . I think the reason this video disturbs people while others pass by unnoticed is that this one portrays it in the most brutally honest way possible. It doesn’t laugh it off or try to make it look sexy. It shows how ugly the betrayal is . . . and then it shows how ugly the revenge is. I have to respect that, even if watching it makes my stomach churn.
