My Shoutmouth compatriot TomZ just asked, "Don't they have slightly bigger issues in India? Like worrying about monsoon season?" Apparently not -- Daily India is busy running "Marilyn Manson is a 'vampire of love'! And it's awesome.
The Web site wrote: "The 38-year-old, who is dating young actress,
Evan Rachel Wood, said that he always thought that his association with
vampires is very obvious.
He added that he has the same weakness like the vampire, which can be killed by stabbing through the heart."
This somewhat concerns me. It's not that I run around getting into knife fights, or have ever been to India, but do you realize what this article implies? That people in India can not be killed by stab wounds to the heart. Just vampires. And Marilyn Manson.
Yeah, try to sleep now.
Okay, wait. Never mind. Here's what he really said:
I've always thought that association, with the romanticism of vampires, was a bit too obvious a fit for me. But a vampire is only something that can be killed by stabbing it through the heart. And that's my weakness, metaphorically.
Wait. Now I'm even more confused. Because Manson actually said he's only metaphorically killed by being stabbed through the heart.
I'm pretty sure the message here is clear: when fighting vampires to the death, stab them in the heart. When fighting Manson to the death, use a lot of metaphor, probably about stabbing. And whatever you do, don't get into a stabbing fight with people in India.
Ah, cultural/language gaps. I love you so.
