>>and look where it says "Join the Marilyn Manson Mailing List" you will see
below that it says "Do You Believe" with the L-I-E in a different colour.
This is the play on the word "Believe" that U2 used during the Zoo TV tour.
I think that is sick and offensive.<<<
I'm not quite following you on how something this insignificant could be
'sick' and 'offensive'. If that's the kind of thing you find offensive then
I'd like to live in your world, because obviously there's no such thing as
Ken Starr, papparazzi, puppy farms or Spam. :-)
But what I really want to point out is that U2 don't hold a copyright on
most of the words, images or even inspiration that they used during Zoo TV.
Those were, in fact, borrowed from a New York area video artist whom U2
asked to contribute her work to the Zoo TV spectacle. Her name escapes me,
but I'm sure she's somewhere in the Book of Flanagan. I have seen the same
things used in *many* other forms, by other bands and artists. It's nothing
NEW, it's just U2 made it more popular (which is kinda funny, really).
Not *everything* has something to do with U2. <g> No, really.

"As the poets have mournfully sung
Death takes the innocent young,
The rolling in money,
The screamingly funny,
And those who are very well hung."
