Russians Welcome Marilyn Manson with Open Arms

Marilyn Manson’s tour of Russia is going swell. The country, long renowned for the warm and relaxed nature of its people, has gone out of its to welcome the shock rocker with open arms. First, on Friday night, they did this…

…and then the show he had scheduled for Sunday got cancelled, too, this time due to protests that, luckily, did not include any explicit threats of violence.

So yeah technically this is “bad news,” but I bet Manson is loving it. I bet he’s all, “HOLY SHIT, I’M STILL CONTROVERSIAL HERE! THE RUSSIANS ACTUALLY GIVE A FUCK WHAT I DO!!!” Watch, he’ll immigrate to the former USSR in no time.
