While you may have been sitting in a candle-lit room — dressed in black, reading Edgar Allan Poe and listening to the haunting vocals of the Joy Division — Marilyn Manson has once again one-upped your disappoint-your-parents credentials in an act that is so ridiculous that you might as well wash all that black mascara off and bleach your hair.
