[quote]Shock rock singer Marilyn Manson has been accused of squandering his band's profit on a child's skeleton and masks made of human skin.

Keyboardist Stephen "Pogo" Bier filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August in which he accused Manson of taking cash belonging to the rest of the band to pay for the "sick and disturbing" purchases.

His lawyer Keith Fink has now filed additional papers adding to a list of artefacts bought by the goth singer- many of which are illegal in the US.

As well as the skeleton and masks, Manson is said to have bought a range of stuffed animals, including a grizzly bear and two baboons.

He is also accused of using band funds to pay for a collection of Nazi memorabilia.[/quote]

I know this is a serious thing, but it is so hard to not laugh when you hear something like this. Remember it is MM, a strange man to begin with. Perhaps, he is using them to decorate the stage at his next show.....

Maybe if it was just the Nazi memorabilia and the stuffed bear and baboon but a child skeleton and masks made of human skin? That's more than just strange that's sick, and gravely evil.

For someone who used to attend an Evangelical Seminary, he's come a long way from home.*shakes head*

I dunno...this just sounds like a hoax or a publicity stunt. Marilyn Manson used to be incredibly popular but now he's kind of old news to most folks. Does he have a CD coming out soon or something? Could this just be a clever (but sick) way for him to get his name out there again?

All the gimmicks aside, I dig the guy's music sometimes. His cover of "Sweet Dreams" is pretty dope. But this is pretty lame.

P.S.- He went to Cardinal Gibbons High School, one of the Catholic high schools in my hometown. So, around the goth circles in Coral Springs, he is kind of a hometown hero.

"And I would never spend my money on a Chinese girl skeleton. That would be crossing the line. It's a Chinese boy, for the record."

you can't say thats not funny.

I think it's a joke... and he obviously finds it funny when others are appalled at him.

He just came out with an album this summer.

Coral Springs? I am fairly certain he was born and raised in Canton, Ohio.

Isn't he an anti-Christ preist or something like that?

yes he is...apostle paul says that anyone who denies jesus came in the flesh is an antichrist. im kinda suprised how he is even getting the support he is in this thread. the man is a satanist, he burns bibles and quite frankly he's a very sick man.

[Totus Tuus]

He always gave me want to throw up..

Actually, now that I recall the interview he came across as articulate and intelligent.
