Well, here it is--the famous Manson rumor collection.
Many thanks to everyone who's contributed these little gems--
I've used most of 'em just the way you sent them,
as I doubt
I could improve on 'em one bit.
(Note! All added comments in [square brackets]
are by coyote and/or angelynx.)
---And, remember, if you hear new ones, I'm still collecting...
Please note! I have collected these rumors from many sources - I am not responsible for creative spelling and grammar. I've left the spellings and creative writings just as they were submitted to me in most cases--if folks can't spell Marilyn, or use cutesy devices like (V) for M, I reserve my editorial right to poke a little fun at them.(--and if I were an expert in mass hypnosis or Extraordinary Popular Delusions, I'd be doing a thesis right now on the remarkable number of these little horrors that people SWEAR they saw or heard on MTV. Poor MTV. It's come to fill the slot in MMRumorville that daytime talk shows take up in the larger world of urban legends.)
THESE ARE RUMORS.
THEY ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN AS FACT.
I DID NOT MAKE THEM UP MYSELF;
I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM
(and neither should you);
I DO NOT INTEND THEM TO MOCK OR DEGRADE MARILYN MANSON IN ANY WAY.
As stated above, I collect these rumors from a wide range of sources. They are displayed here solely for their amusement value, and to partially stop the flood of e-mail I get about some of 'em. They are in NO way to be taken as being disrespectful to the band--
the only people I'm laughing at here are the ones who persist in believing these.
If you find any that I don't have on here, please e-mail me at: angelynx@spookhouse.net
but the truth is out there...
