I don't like MM very much, his music is not good (some of his older stuff is) and I simply cannot stand this hype around his "shocking" apperance.
I've seen a lot of crude and strange Bands (look to some of the scandinavian BlackMetal Bands for example) so this "look I'm so shocking" attitude of MM seems just stupid. A cheap way to get attention. I like a strange apperance, but with MMs i got the feeling he is only doing it for PR. But maybe I'm wrong.
I was positively surprised when I saw his Intervies in "Bowling for Columbine", so I think he is somewhat smart.
But he still does not deserve a baba like Dita
