La Fée Absinthe

As part of an MTV stunt, Manson surprised students in a Temple University class, Art and Society, in Philadelphia Monday with an hour-long guest lecture. His first question? Could he share a bottle of absinthe with the students?

The green fairy stayed on the desk as Manson responded to questions about art, politics and religion.

'I'm not someone who doesn't respect religion, but I don't care for the way religion is used to manipulate people. We create our own gods. We create our own devils.'
