..is actress Rose McGowan:
The producers of the IRA drama “Fifty Dead Men Walking” have taken the unusual step of distancing themselves from incendiary comments made by the film’s star, Rose McGowan.
The actress caused a stir at the Toronto Film Festival last week when she said she would have joined the Irish Republican Army had she lived in Belfast during the Troubles. She said she could understand why people turned to violence during that time in Northern Ireland.
The movie is based on the life of double agent Martin McGartland, who infiltrated the IRA. Jim Sturgess plays McGartland as a young Catholic man in Belfast moving up the ranks of the IRA as he feeds information to his British Special Branch handler (Ben Kingsley). McGowan, whose father is Irish, plays a strong-willed IRA leader.
In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, the producers said they “regret any distress” that McGowan’s comments may have caused “to people of Northern Ireland and particularly those who were victims of or caught up in the shocking events that existed during the conflict.”
Her idiocy is not surprising, considering she is a Hollywood actress and she once dated this.

In other words, instead of apologizing for what she said, they are apologizing to themselves for the fact that people felt bad about it. To them, it's the reaction that's wrong.
She should just close her moth and spread those legs.

Actually, Marilyn Manson is a very intelligent and articulate person. Have you ever heard him talk about serious issues? He dresses-up like that to expose people who judge others on superficial appearances. I guess you fell for it. Pity.
