Exclamation Marilyn Manson

When Marilyn Manson isn't gorging himself on actress Evan Rachel Wood's young nectar, you'll probably find him enjoying his own brand of the controversial liqueur absinthe.

The still-thinks-he's-a shock rocker and Kallnach, Switzerland distillery Matter-Luginbuehl have teamed up to produce Mansinthe. Production began last month with 6,000 bottles, which feature a Manson-designed label.

The 66.6-per cent proof alcohol tipple costs 49 Swiss francs ($42.33) from the distillery's online store. It's been exported to Australia, the U.K., France, Germany, Greece and Italy, but not to the U.S., where (like in some other countries) it's still prohibited due to concerns over its alleged mild hallucinogenic properties from its thujone content. Absinthe containing thujone is legal in most Canadian provinces.

Manson told Rolling Stone earlier this year that he first fell for absinthe — which was popular with 19th century European writers and artists — while drinking it with actor Johnny Depp in the south of France as 1999 turned into 2000.

"We were ready for the apocalypse, and when it didn't come, we were disappointed, so we drank more absinthe and set off fireworks. Since then, I don't drink booze, I drink absinthe."

Jesus fucking Christ. I hope he poisons himself with it.

That's all I really have to say on the matter.

It would probably smell like blood, considering Manson tries to pass himself off (if not directly, then indirectly) as a goth or vampire.

Mansinthe? That's the most retarded thing I've heard... I don't drink alcohol or anything, but even that sounds unappealing to me.

That's what he said his perfume would smell like. Creepy . . .

He seems to be trying a bit to hard to be "edgy"

LMFAO, isn't it creepy that he released a (shitty) album entitled "smells like children", and then started banging Evan Rachel Wood? I saw him recently (I would never have bought tickets to see him, but a friend had an extra and needed someone to go with her). He was CONSTANTLY sticking his hands down his pants and stroking his "member", then slapping hands with the audience...I had to fight not to vomit. It was disgusting! (please excuse any typos, I'm a bit drunk)

You won't be hated for liking his music, you'll be despised for buying into his garbage.

I'd probably buy one as an addition to my alcohol bottle collection, but nothing else.

I'm actually quite fond of some of Manson's music, but "Mansinthe"? Come on! It sounds like synthetic testosterone or some shit like that.
