WARSAW TORTURE

The Mayor of Warsaw has called upon parents to prevent their children from going to Mazza's gig...

MARILYN MANSON has been slammed by the Mayor of WARSAW who has warned parents to keep children away from his show.

Antoni Pietkiewicz said Manson promotes "bad ideas, bad values and violence". He added that parents should "protect our children, our young people" by keeping them away from the show tonight (February 13) in the city's Torwar venue.

According to www.ananova.com, he has also condemned the city governor for granting the band a licence to perform.

His voice of dissent joins Poland's Catholic church and education authorities, who have also condemned Manson.

The Polish date is one of the last on the European leg of Marilyn Manson's 'Guns, God And Government' world tour. They wrap up in Moscow on February 23, before moving to Japan on March 13.
