güzel tespitler

Marilyn Manson: The two by-products of that whole tragedy were, violence
in entertainment, and gun control. And how perfect that that was the two
things that we were going to talk about with the upcoming election. And
also, then we forgot about Monica Lewinsky and we forgot about, uh, the
President was shooting bombs overseas, yet I'm a bad guy because I, well
I sing some rock-and-roll songs, and who's a bigger influence, the
President or Marilyn Manson? I'd like to think me, but I'm going to go with
the President.

Michael Moore: Do you know that on the day of the Columbine massacre,
the US dropped more bombs on Kosovo than any other day?

Marilyn Manson: I do know that, and I think that's really ironic, that nobody
said 'well maybe the President had an influence on this violent behavior'
Because that's not the way the media wants to take it and spin it, and
turn it into fear, because then you're watching television, you're watching
the news, you're being pumped full of fear, there's floods, there's AIDS,
there's murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate, if you
have bad breath they're not going to talk to you, if you have pimples, the
girl's not going to fuck you, and it's just this campaign of fear, and
consumption, and that's what I think it's all based on, the whole idea
of 'keep everyone afraid, and they'll consume.'

[about accusations that he was responsible for Columbine killings]
Marilyn Manson: I definitely can see why they would pick me. Because I
think it's easy to throw my face on the TV, because in the end, I'm a poster
boy for fear. Because I represent what everyone is afraid of, because I say
and do whatever I want.
