In the light of the Belarus gig by the American shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, leaflets rallying residents against his upcoming show have been discovered in the capital, Minsk, declaiming the musician as a “Satanist” and a “pervert”.

“Marilyn Manson is an American singer promoting in his songs and during concerts Antichristianism and Satanism (he is also member of the Church of Satan), as well as erasure of borders between the sexes (hermaphroditism), homosexuality, pedophilia, other perversity, violence, cruelty with animals, Nazism and use of drugs,” the leaflet informed.

Those who don't want “such filth” in Belarus have been urged to write letters of protest against Manson, known as the “Antichrist superstar”.

His reputation precedes him: wanted for indecent behavior, notorious for his provocative personality, criticized for grotesque creativity. Born Brian Hugh Warner, his stage name is a fusion of two names: beauty icon Marilyn Monroe and serial killer Charles Manson.

So far, no requests to cancel Manson's show in Minsk, due to take place on December 21, have been registered by local authorities, Euroradio reported.

...You are obsessed, arent't you? How on... no this is beyond any reason. Exactly how do you link opposition to zionism to music? Ok not just ant music but a random artist? "Oh sorry Justin Bieber does not oppose Fracking and whale hunting then I guess he is no artist at all", right? Looks like RT comment field attracts the most deranged people.

...Wh y the hell should an artist... ANY artist... carry any defined political message in his text? Is that what you listen to, politically charged music? And the rest is worthless in your opinion I guess? Another RT comment field nutjob. I have to stop reading comments here, I can hear my braincells commit suicide in utter dispair over this idiocy.

. ..And this.
Thank you guys for posting two rational, reasonable, and normal comments. It's rare on RT.

RT articles are great, however if the comments are any benchmark then the avg reader is a nutball psycho. It's a shame that these days the mainstream is full of sheeple and the fringes are full of lunatics. It really makes me lose what little faith I had left in humanity.
