    MARILYN MANSON PROP DISASTER: INJURED AFTER STAGE PIECE FALLS AT THE HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM

    Marilyn Manson cut his Saturday night show at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom short after a stage prop collapsed atop the shock rocker. The severity of Manson’s injuries was unclear at press time, but the concert was canceled after a brief delay.

    “Manson suffered an injury towards the end of his incredible NYC show. He is being treated at a local hospital,” a rep for the singer told Rolling Stone.

    Here is a video:

    The incident occurred roughly an hour into Manson’s concert, the third date on the North American leg of Manson’s Heaven Upside Down tour. During “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These),” Manson made his way toward the back of the stage, where a prop featuring two giant pistols suddenly fell forward onto Manson. Video from the concert shows Manson grappling the prop before it comes crashing down to the stage.

    After the stage crew lifted the prop back up, Manson lay on the ground for several minutes. EMT workers also rushed to the backstage area as venue workers yelled “Ice! Ice!” repeatedly.

    And not the first time..

    On Friday in Pittsburgh, Manson tumbled off of the stage.. he told the crowd he broke his ankle calling his tour manager a fascist..

    A President Tweets after a storm. And causes a Category 5 storm of Tweets.

    In an 11-hour period beginning at 7:19 a.m. and ending at 6:46 p.m. Saturday, the President of the United States ripped off 18 — yes, 18! — tweets dealing with the dire situation in Puerto Rico following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria.

    None of them were good.. it has created a monster of a problem for the President..
    In the aftermath of a storm that ground Puerto Rico to a halt and turned off power for just about 100% of the people, the leader of the free world decided to blame Puerto Rico.. 
    He attacked San Juan’s Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz.. 
    “They want everything to be done for them” he Tweeted at one point.. 
    Then he slammed news organizations for being critical of him not responding to the crisis in Puerto Rico..
    The entire fight became the focal point of the cold opening of last night’s SNL ..

    The season premiere of Saturday Night Live was hosted by Ryan Gosling with Jay-Z as the musical guest.

    (by the way.. SNL is stale stale stale stale… stale)

    18 tweets in 11 hours..
    It has not even been one full year yet since the election.. only 9 months of the presidency.. And the year’s tension is at the highest level yet. Football is not a diversion but just another reason to get angry..
    Storms? Weather? All political.
    This is where we are now..
    THIS IS THE TWEETED VERSION OF THE PRESIDENCY.

    Seattle butterflies: ALL GODS MUST DIE gets attention

    There is something strange afoot in the city of Seattle Washington — a butterfly effect is causing strange emotions from people who are finding origami butterflies throughout public locations.. when the papers are unfolded, ominous messages appear..

    From a local report:

    “Origami butterflies with ominous messages have been found all around Seattle.The colorful creations look cheerful at first, but when unfolded, the phrase “you are not safe,” is revealed. A date is printed along with the message: 9-28-17.Even more puzzling are the illustrations, which include Russell Wilson, Kurt Cobain, the Starbucks siren, and a peace message. One of the notes features the Seattle skyline without its famous Space Needle landmark.A website is listed on some of the papers:  www.allgodsmustdie.com. On it, a scramble of letters merge together to form the statement, “You Are Not Safe” while Wagner’s “Das Rheingold” plays. Then, a psychedelic goat appears behind the vaguely threatening.There is a Reddit thread dedicated to the strange occurrence.”

    Interesting information has been unearthed by users on REDDIT.. they appear to be on to something. THe ALL GODS MUST DIE page may be associated with an anti-abortion religious zealot.A theory has emerged that this person could be drumming up attention for national abortion rights day–9/28.. 

    But it is tattering already fretting nerves in the area–a location that is having earthquake drills and emergency alert tests… 

  • Sexist relic Hugh Hefner dead

    Sexist relic Hugh Hefner dead

    A relic of a sexist era gone.. Hugh Hefner dead at 91..




    Hugh Hefner — the silk-robed Casanova whose Playboy men’s magazine popularized the term “centerfold,” glamorized an urbane bachelor lifestyle and helped spur the ‘sexual revolution’ of the 1960s — has died, his company said late Wednesday. He was 91.

    Hefner founded Playboy in 1953 with $600 of his own money and built the magazine into a multimillion-dollar entertainment empire that at its 1970s peak included TV shows, a jazz festival and a string of Playboy Clubs whose cocktail waitresses wore bunny ears and cottontails.

    Mystery Surrounds Metal Towers Popping Up In Tunnels & Bridges

    Mystery Surrounds Metal Towers Popping Up In Tunnels & Bridges:

    It’s a $100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them for tunnels and bridges. So what are they exactly?

    The MTA’s man in charge of the bridges and tunnels, Cedrick Fulton, dodged Carlin’s questions Wednesday.

    “I said no comment,” he said.

    Some MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, say they know too little about the towers – even with half the money already spent and some of the towers already up.

    “A lot of the board members felt they didn’t have all the details they would have wanted, myself included,” she said.

    Knowles out: It ain’t cool

    Harry Knowles, the movie blogger who founded Ain’t It Cool News, is taking a leave of absence from the popular fan site after being accused of sexually assaulting a number of women.

    Knowles allegedly groped and harassed five women over the past few decades, according to multiple reports this week from IndieWire.


    “Therapy, detox, and getting to a better place,” Knowles wrote of his departure on Facebook and Twitter late Tuesday. His sister will take over AICN in the interim.

  • NFL water cooler talk isn’t cool today

    NFL water cooler talk isn’t cool today

    The numbers are in..

    In metered market numbers, the primetime match-up between the 27-10 winning Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders snared an 11.6/20.

    The worst SNF has performed this season so far, that’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s Atlanta Falcon’s 34-23 win over the Green Bay Packers. Gaining cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of SNF for the 2017-2018 season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.

    The outcome to the weekend is what I expected. Facebook and Twitter are filled with memes and jersey burnings, controversy and “I stand” logos overtop of people’s profile photos… I have literally witnessed “virtual” online friendships ending this morning due to the kneeling controversy …

    Someone I know wrote a long post about how she will stay off of Facebook due to the debate. Perhaps I will do the same, only lurking from a safe distance.

    This whole debacle about kneeling during the National Anthem has reminded me a little of the ‘freedom fries’ battle of the early 2000s. Back then France decided it would not support the United States war in Iraq. The Capitol cafeteria renamed French fries ‘freedom fries’ in a strange Orwellian protest. Some others in the nation followed with the same name…  

    It was quite the hot topic then.

    Cue now: 3 million without power in Puerto Rico, Houston still devasted, fires along the West Coast, Florida with many locations recovering, and a new hurricane looming in the Atlantic.. that coupled with some of the weirdest and most bizarre weather in a long time. North Korea threatening to shoot down a US plane.  Terrorist threats being made against soft targets… Crises abound.

    And we? In America? We are busy. People are kneeling during a song.

    We will get to those issues later…..
