...shock-rocker Manson's Tourniquet, we are treated to the sight of Manson shaving his own armpit; in Sigismondi's clip for The Beautiful People, we see writhing worms, rows of stomping fascistic boots and Manson's mouth pushed open by some cruel dental device.

It's knaves vs. fools in the Jurassic...
