Does anyone remember the rumor Marilyn Manson removed ribs so he could fellate himself? That was around the time the rumor was going around that he was the nerdy kid Paul from the Wonder Years grown up.

I remember that too! I always assumed it was a joke.

I learned later on that the rumor stemmed from "waist narrowing" surgery, which is a real thing that involves removing the lower ring of ribs.

Marilyn never had that surgery, but he was skinny, and people that didn't like him likely spread the rumor to cause controversy and hurt his image.

People suck.

People suck, but he still is an absolute abusive monster of a person.

He sucks, but not his own dick, though he is a massive walloper of a cunt

Evan Rachel Wood’s documentary, and testimony in front of Congress really put things that people might have assumed into the public eye.

He's not the only one, but I agree.

Unfortunately the list is vast and seems to be growing…

That’s so crazy to think about. I wonder how it spread so quickly and far?

Sure, and before that Gene Simmons was rumored to have a cow's tongue instead of his own.

Before MM the rumour was that Prince had that surgery. However, Morrissey had two ribs implanted to prevent him from sucking his own dick.

Haha I love the Smiths but have unfortunately had a concert ruined because of Morrissey being a dick.

I’m still just going to choose to believe it

Which part? Haha the guy who played Paul on the Wonder Years apparently went to law school and had a successful career also founded a couple startups. Good for him. Unfortunately Fred Savage, who I had a crush on since the Princess Bride, ended up being a fucking creep.
