Born ViIllain

As much as I used to like Marilyn Manson (and, tangentially, get him confused with Marylin Munroe) the born villain video, done with Shia LeBouf is a little clichéd. I know Manson has a certain aesthetic to cling to, but there are only so many Nazi inspired video's one can take. The disclaimer as you enter the site may even worsen the lack of provocative shock this video produces. A click box to prove you're 18? Hello? This is the internet, and I'm sure I could be more affected without a warning. For instance, I could watch just as many meathooks being inserted into flesh on a bbc iplayer-ed documentary about african tribes. Or I could just go to the circus, as the poor directing of photography made the performers look no more threatening than if I were to watch a Cabaret.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh as I've admittedly never directed anything before in my life, but c'mon Manson, you've been doing this for years! And LeBouf? So much better when fighting robots are involved.....
