Marilyn Manson has long been the king of shock rock but has he gone too far in this latest video?
Directed by Eli Roth (Hostel), footage has surfaced online from a video that was canned for being “so sick, it’s been locked in a vault for over a year” as Roth told Larry King in an interview last year.
Alongside scenes of inferred domestic violence, a man firing an automatic weapon onto a suburban highway, several acts of bondage and nudity, the most controversial aspect is a scene which seems to depict pop star Lana Del Rey being raped.
You can watch the video yourself here – let us know what you think, is this too far in the name of entertainment? Who’s to blame for this fairly tasteless gimmick – Manson, Roth or Del Rey?
