Marilyn Manson represents the philosophy that all people really care about
are dead celebrities and serial killers/mass murderers. Marilyn Monroe
was the classic dead celebrity, particularly famous because she fucked JFK
and he was famous because he had nice hair and got his brains blown out on
teevee (making him a dead celebrity in his own right). And Charles Manson
was the classic mass murderer (perceived murderer, as he's only accused of
ordering the crimes), and he's the most famous serial killer of all because
he killed celebrity Sharon Tate (minor celebrity, though after her death
the studios releases EVERY movie she had appeared in with new credits
casting HER as the star even if she had a 15-second bit part).
We had barely stopped gossiping about Anna Nicole's apparent suicide, but
now we have the ULTIMATE tragedy to gossip about, a celebrity pro wrestler
who committed mass murder before committing suicide! It's just so perfect
one might suspect the National Enquirer and Nancy Grace of conspiring to
stage the crime themselves to generate a lurid news story to exploit for
our infotainment. It has everything we want: An attractive celebrity who
died a tragic death, a mass murder with plenty of gruesome details and
shocking revelations, and of course drug abuse. The only thing that could
make this any cooler would be if Chris Benoit had fucked George Bush.

Q: "Do you ever watch wrestling?"
A: "No, I do like the aspect that there's some fake violence and the guys
are wearing makeup and they all walk around in underwear. It's very
homoerotic, but I don't watch it because it's a sport. That, for me,
would be a sin, to watch sports."
-- Marilyn Manson; Interview with Penthouse, 1997.
