Keeping Marilyn Away
(with comments)
Don't eat if your hungry in Hungary: Hungarians fast and pray to ward off Marilyn Manson.
What garlic and holy water did for vampires, fast and prayer may do to U.S. shock rocker Marilyn Manson in Hungary.
At least that is the hope of some Catholic churchgoers in Hungary, who have posted placards in and around the churches of Sopron, a town near the Austrian border in western Hungary, which is hosting a four-day music festival that lists Manson as one of the main acts.
The placards say: "Protest against the concert of American satanist band Marilyn Manson in Sopron" in red and black capitals.
Manson, the flamboyant rocker whose hits include "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" and "Antichrist Superstar," will descend on the festival on Saturday and is expected to draw several thousand people.
Church members took action after repeated calls to have the act canceled were left unheeded. They say the show can incite hatred against Christians and also provides a platform for abusing the Church and its sacraments.

I think we cold probably arrange that. - By . Comment posted 03-Jul-2009 @02:26pm:Marilyn Manson is an intelligent and sympathetic man. His interview in Bowling for Columbine was sensitive and well-reasoned.

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circles
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me and punched me in the nose
He said, no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene
