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.

Um... I think thats kinda helping those assholes who say that manson fans kill themselves.. I'm one of the biggest manson fans and I never wanted to kill myself.. I just wan everyone else to kill themselves...
I know people say their the biggest fans.. bullshit.. Have you carved his name into your skin with a box cutter? I don't think so..

I dont think that it is. It is meant to be ironic. I mean How on earth is Manson to blame for something like Columnbine. The media use him as a scapegoat the same way they blame movies and videogames for reasons beyond their control. As Manson said 'if they want to be the good guys, they have to find a bad guy'.
Carving Mansons name into yourself makes you no more a fan than learning his lyrics inside out or knowing his inside leg measurement.

Thats really good! Great fake article thinger as well.
I hate how the media twists things to make the story all the 'better'. Its just to sell papers. They do it with more than just celebs too, like perfectly normal people. They dont get how it affects the person and the people close to that person.

yeah media flies insects, vermin..no one seems to mention the fact that manson was inconsolable after the papers printed stuff about him after columnbine, just all the bad stuff....guess hes to blame for the crusifiction of christ too
thanks for the kind words!

I've been on that anti-Manson website. That story is total shite! I hate it when people blame it on the music... It's nothing to do with that! I'm a big fan of Manson so I found that totaly ridiculous - ooops, I'm rambling... Brilliant work. It really gives out the sence of emotion and dispair. -x-

goth-alice In reply to DreamingOfScreaming [2006-01-11 20:24:38 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. I agree. Its gotta be something more than music to make someone kill themselves or others. If you wanna be the good guy then you gotta find a bad guy. Manson is an easy target. Good forbid the songs he writes are about things that happened to him. I dont think anywhere he actually says hey pick up that gun and go kill some guys. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the support.

that's a well done piece...very ironic...
if someone dies over what music they listen to I think that they deserve to die because music shouldn't make up the most of your life...it should be something to enjoy
great job with this picture
