At least the label's pretty

I was thinking the alternative title for this post could be Could YOU be a BIGGER whore?

Sorry about the lack of a regular custom cocktail drinks post for those of you paying attention to the tags, but this really got my… well, goat.

Apparently Marilyn Manson is running out of money and popularity, as kids discover slightly more parently acceptable forms of rebelling via being Emo, and that he’s just plain getting old hat, rather than dope hat. Seriously, what a great way to miss out on your own popularity, and your own popularisation of a drink ten years ago.

That’s right, he’s come out with more merchandise: Marilyn Mansinthe.

But rather than age gracefully, content with doing cameos and still getting royalties from music sales, he comes out with this.

Honestly, absinthe isn’t this cool mystical drink like it was a decade ago when it was still outlawed because of the pathetically small concentration of thujone available in anything you could get from the Eastern Bloc, except the homemade stuff. Nowadays it’s an expensive drink goths use because they can pussy out and put sugar into a cocktail and get seriously fucked up on it. I’m not knocking that, mind. I’m all for something that basically acts as an imbibable panty remover, and if getting you drunk gets me laid, bring on the LaFee or Abinsto Camargo… Quality products with a strong reputation. Or that cheap nasty black shitty absinthe that’s 92% and so powerful your taste buds actually go numb from toxic shock so you can’t even tell how bad it may or may not be. But I’m not paying a $199 premium for a shitty label and a celebrity endorsement.

I don’t know if I feel sorrier for Brian Warner, who can’t not try to keep himself in the limelight he’s become so used to it, or the idiots who are such huge fans that they’ll buy what is basically a second rate product that merely has as celebrity endorsement.

Oh shit! Excuse me, my George Foreman Grill is burning my steak…
