Description
The final piece. I wanted to do something that reflected my anger after the article I saw yesterday on an anti manson site. I wanted to do this piece in the style of a newspaper, I think it needs work with the grain and lighting but for my first photo manip using stock Im happy. The photos could use a bit of work but I did do this in one night. I also wrote a completely fictional news story to go with it. It is meant to be ironic and I do not consider myself a writer but I thought the image needed text. Story follows the credits.::Credits::

This article is FAKE I wrote it to go with the picture
Goth rock star Marilyn Manson yesterday dismissed suggestions that his music may have inspired a girl, whose identity will be kept anonymous for legal reasons, to commit suicide. The girl was found on the floor of her bedroom with a single gunshot wound to her head, police also found needles and scalpels surrounding the girl. In a statement the police said: “We believe that the girl had been using drugs and self harming as a result of lyrics in a Marilyn Manson song found in her diary, which also stated it was ‘his fault’”
The girl had been fanatical about Manson for years and had given up the religious values she had been shown by her parents. Several CDs were found near to her body, one of the covers images showed a burning cross depicting Manson’s obsession with Satanic Rituals the other was a single ‘Get Your Gunn’ which the girl had most likely been listening to minutes before her death. Manson’s songs are notorious for their God hating lyrics and Satanist attitude, have influenced the behaviour of many teens and lead them to suicide.
The police also found a number of photographs of Manson in the girl’s room, one of which depicted him as Jesus on a crucifix, religious groups were outraged by the image, and believe that this almost certainly was the cause of the girls loss of faith.
In a newspaper interview yesterday, the American shock rocker denied that his work had any influence on the crime, he said he is nothing more than a scapegoat, taking the blame for the actions of a very disturbed child.

Maybe the parents should look in a mirror and see who really inspired their kids to suicide. :/

I love this
Its a shame how so many people want to blame bands for things that happen or that people say that these certain bands promote people to do things(suicide, self harm exc) when in reality its not true at all, and that those bands actually are against the very thing they are being accused of promoting.
Its sad that people dont or wont take the time to actually listen to the music and see the positive messages that these bands are actually trying to get out.

I love this. People have been doing this for years. Saying that Green Day makes kids do drugs, that My Chemical Romance promotes suicide and it's all bs. The funny thing is that most artists are openly AGAINST that stuff.

Yeah I know. If people only took the time to LISTEN to the lyrics instead of judging on looks. Things would be very different.
I dont know how many times music has saved my life, but if its not pop nonsence people dont want to know what it means to a fan.
If I ever have kids, Id be more worried if they were listening to over sexualised songs by Beyonce or Rihanna.

I 100% agree with you. What does Marilyn Manson's music promote? Being yourself and not caring what people think. What does Ke$ha's music promote? Drinking, having sex and partying.

Exactly my point. I havent listened to so called 'violent' music for years and have no desire to harm myself or others. The media just like someone to blame for peoples shortcomings

I'm a Christian and I listen to his stuff all the time! I think that showing that being different and loving is the true way of showing Christ. I wear black, want an eyebrow piercing, and like Marilyn Manson, that doesn't make me want to cut myself!

I am not religious to an extent but I agree with what you say and admire your views. Ive met many christians who have already damned me to hell because of my clothing and musical choices.

No, God loves you and cares for you as much as he cares for me. The fact that any man, woman, or child has the audacity to say that probably doesn't jack about Jesus! Being different isn't a sin, the biggest sin in my eyes is commanding another human being to Hell.

I try to think like the true Jesus who went to the Gates of Hades (a volcanic craig where worshippers of Pan would have sex with goats and drink the blood) and said he wanted them to be saved!
