NSFW “Running to the Edge of the World” video, you guys:
Yuck. This video is terrible! It’s like it was created by a focus group tasked with determining what anti-social 15-year-olds from broken homes who like 50-year-old men and nightmares want.
Although, maybe I’m watching it wrong? Like you know how it’s unfair to judge the trailers for James Cameron’s Avatar too harshly after watching them on a Quicktime window on your computer monitor when the film is intended to be watched in anamorphic 3D on IMAX? Maybe we shouldn’t judge this video too harshly until we’ve seen it through the window of our Time Machine on the way back to late 1997, the day before Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up” video first aired, when this might have seemed even slightly shocking and not just the obnoxious work of an aging asshole who’s run out of ideas.

You silly! Marilyn Manson never had any ideas!
Oh my god EXACTLY. This video is basically Henry: Portrait of a Serial Vlogger.
Hollllly Shit.
Why?
This sounds like a bad Creed song.
Otherwise known as “a Creed song.”
ZING!
Seriously though, ZING!
It does look like they cribbed off of the youtube clips of kids singing old marilyn manson tunes (horribly) with their pale ugly faces and their sad ugly lives.
Ultra-Meta?
There’s a big ‘ol tear running down my face. No, wait, that’s him. There’s a big ‘ol tear running down HIS face.
wow, i thought this was ‘every rose has its thorn’ at first.
That’s understandable… I think that’s the only 80′s song he hasn’t covered yet.
ok, here’s the deal: antichrist superstar was a rad video, and back then, Mr. Warner had things to say.
But that was the 90′s! It was a more tubular time then. And the world has moved on. And he is still saying the same things. Which is to say that maybe he is an Alzheimer’s sufferer. Which is the saddest of all.
by video i mean album, obvs
Instead of having him ‘act’ out his emotions and singing this song in a close-up, I would’ve preferred him lip-synching in sped-down shots of him going on an eye exam adventure, seeing as how apparently they had to film this video in-between shipments of his disposable Pale Eye? contact lenses.
We’re all stars now, in the Walmart Optometrist’s waiting room…
the poor man’s Marilyn Monster
I wonder how long he’s going to be able to keep writing songs based on the journals he kept when he was a freshman in high school. Eventually he has to run out of material, right? Or did he milk those journals all the way through when he was widely accepted and at least mildly well-loved and back around to being irrelevant and ignored?
This is the top-rated response on Answers.com for: What would happen if Chris Brown went goth.
Guess who has to wear the bloody diaper?
hmm I’m pleased someone in the Manson Camp has seen Seven and remembered to stock up on Crazy Killer Marbled Notebooks
Why does this exist? Ugh. Just, ugh a thousand times over.
Seriously. Fuck you Marilyn Manson.
As an anti-social 15-year-old from a broken home who likes 50-year-old men and nightmares, I can tell you that this is NOT what I want.
First Ron Artest, then the YouTube guy on Kristen Wiig, and now this. Is today Misogynist’s Day or something?
Wow, someone definitely isn’t over Evan Rachel Wood…
in a 1997 world, this video wouldn’t stir up anything. people would be attempt to watch it on (tivo-less) tubular televisions, and unable to fast forward or stay awake, never make it to the (yawwwn) “controversy.” he is as boring now as he was 12 years ago.
There are exactly 2 CHORDS IN THIS SONG! UGH
Well now I know not to take anything you say about music seriously, because there are clearly more than 2 chords in the song.
That said, there should be 0 chords in this song, because this song shouldn’t exist. I’m glad I can agree with Videogum on something, especially something as yucky as this. Hurray.
Hey, don’t be sore just because I said I hated Muse.
Obvz I know there are more than 2 chords in this song. I was being hyperbolic.
So that’s what it would be like if Nickelback made their own version of The Wall.
Whoops! Too bad Buddyhead is temporarily disabled and has been reported as an attack site. Cant wait what Travis Keller and Meathead have to say about this. I’m pretty sure Brian Warner has something to do with Buddyhead’s current paralyzation. Like look what happened to Trent Reznor after he called Marilyn a clown, he disappeared from Twitter. Marilyn’s not the devil for nothing.
Marilyn is a dedicated advocate of free speech, as long as you don’t say anything bad about him.
Behind the rapist looking exterior is a cold black lonely shell!! Oh, I guess that didn’t work out too well.
You know, everyone has problems. It doesn’t mean you have to be a little crybaby about it.
I never understood how Dita Von Teese was able to have sex with him, yuck. Disturbing video, I can’t believe I sat through the whole thing.
Oh, how I do miss the 26 year old, Pre-Antichrist Superstar Manson screaming out the lyrics to “Cake & Sodomy” while simultaneously shoving a microphone up his ass. Good times!
i could do without the six and a half minute close up of his face.
and i think hes the only 50 year old whos still a cutter
why’s it gotta be like this, paul from the wonder years?
I respect Manson to an extent… and I understand the marketing strategy of his image. However, I have a problem with this video. I feel like this man has kind of hit the point of his career dying. He’s trying way too hard to stay shocking and relevant. Think back to that whole swine flu claim. No one will ever really know if he did or didnt have it, could be true, could be part of some media hype scheme to get tickets sold for his latest tour.
Sorry to be lame and sully and old thread! But this is me test-posting an image (for the first time).
