OT: Manson's new perfume, Snoop's new hot dogs...

[nobody]

Marilyn Manson is coming out with a unisex perfume soon, and there are plans in the works for a Manson cosmetic line. In other news, Snoop Dogg is releasing his own brand of "hot doggs" for mass consumption. These aren't jokes. This is the honest truth. Go check the news if you don't believe me... I probably wouldn't have believe it myself if I hadn't read these stories directly from reputable news sources.  

I used to think George Lucas was the king of shameless marketing (followed very closely by Gene Simmons of KISS). But now these two sad billionaires have some new competition.

Some people can never have enough money. Anyone here care to guess what the next stupid celebrity product will be?

Britney Spears designer tampons?

I just read that 50 Cent is coming out with a line of "hip-hop" books that will detail the life of ...well, here is a short piece of the article:

NEW YORK - 50 Cent will again turn his reality into fiction with a new line of hip-hop novellas and graphic novels featuring his former G-Unit rap crew buddies, a publisher announced.
Pocket/MTV Books promised the venture would showcase "gritty" stories and cover much of the same terrain as 50 Cent's raps.

"These tales will tell the truth about The Life; the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets," the publisher said in a release over the weekend.

The G-Unit Books line of street fiction will feature G-Unit members Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and Olivia as characters, the release said.

Nikki Turner, author of "The Glamorous Life" and "A Hustler's Wife," will pen the line's first novella. It is set to be published in 2007.



Like we care.

When I read the topic I thought Charles Manson had a new perfume on the market.

And then having a book discussion afterwards.  

Hilarious!

Sadly, I can. Since they all just imitate and borrow from each other, it's only a matter of time before they borrow from the "whiter" elements of society... it really just takes one person who looks good doing it and then everyone who is a slave to current culture will follow like the sheep (should I say black sheep? Bah bah...) they are.
