Smart Folks Who Saw An Opportunity and Took it

Marilyn Manson’s Mansion

Rockstar Marilyn Manson has never shied away from controversy. In one of his 1990s concerts, he had a pregnant actress iron a Nazi flag onstage. In 1994, he brought a deaf groupie into a recording studio, had her undressed, and adorned her with raw meats. He even issued threats to a magazine editor and his family for removing his image from the cover. In short, Marilyn Manson is an eccentric character, to say the least.

However, one of the quirkiest things he did was during an episode of MTV’s “Cribs.” When welcoming the camera into his home, Manson introduced it as the “Marilyn Mansion.” This audacious wordplay demonstrates his knack for clever inventions.
