Marilyn Manson doesn't believe in hoovering tubs of Ben and Jerry's after a split. He goes straight for the medicine cabinet, and channels his rage into art. So his new video for 'Running to the Edge of the World' is, surprise surprise, pretty graphic. He kills a bikini-clad girl who looks a LOT like his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. Guess talking to Spin magazine about how about how he called her 158 times after they broke up, and took a razor blade and cut himself on his face or his hands--because he, um, wanted to show her the pain she put him through wasn't cathartic enough for him. Oh, and he admits that 'every day' he has 'fantasies about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer.'

Then again, we've all had dark thoughts after a break-up and Manson isn't acting on any of his homicidal impulses. So, is making a video about murdering a look-alike of your ex therapeutic, or disturbing?
