A US man has spoken of his anguish after discovering his long-lost father is apparently the notorious serial killer Charles Manson.

...

Mr Roberts' real mother claimed he was born after Manson raped her in a drug-fuelled orgy in 1967.

The son, who bears a striking resemblance to the killer, told the newspaper: "I didn't want to believe it. I was frightened and angry. It's like finding out that Adolf Hitler is your father.

[Turbineguy]

1. I can see his point.

If Hitler was my father I wouldn't want to keep it to myself.

[LeftyMom]

2. Well if he wants to decrease the resemblance a haircut and shave would be a start.

It's kind of silly to complain about looking like the guy while half the resemblance could disappear with $10 and a trip to SuperCuts.

[SoCalDem]

3. and keeping his big mouth shut

I guess he wants to be on Oprah's show:(

[LeftyMom]

13. This sounds like prime Movie of the Week fodder.

Do they still make those? Or have they all moved off to cable?

[imdjh]

12. Even if Manson weren't his dad.

[Naturyl]

4. Jeez, talk about a Maury Povich moment...

Charlie, you ARE the father!

This guy had better get in therapy or something fast. And cutting his hair and shaving the beard might be the way to go.

[luvspeas]

5. The only thing that looks like Manson is his beard he grew himself...

Sky News = Fox = gratuitous tabloid bullshit.

Why even waste your time posting this here?

[hlthe2b]

6. Then why does he adopt facial hair and every other facet

of Manson's trademark looks, if he is so offended? From his haircut to his choice of facial hair, seems to me that those are very optional decisions totally under his control. Geebus.... I guess he'll get his 15 minutes of "fame" if that is what he seeks.

[Mist]

15. Yep, crocodile tears when he really wants the attention. Haircut and shave should solve his

problem.

[treestar]

33. Disagree, finding that out, if true, would be traumatic

The guy is surely to be on the nurture side of the nature vs. nurture debate!

I'd need therapy. I'd never be sure if what I wanted to do was right!

[marshall]

20. Next step: a gratuitous swastika symbol etched on his forehead

Followed by more hand wringing and pearl clutching about the curse of a Manson resemblance.

[imdjh]

34. That is a standard look in a certain demographic. And they really need to stop it.

It gets worse. If they start going bald, they keep what's left long like that. I don't get it.

[mdmc]

7. bummer

[imdjh]

8. They seem to have a similar fashion sense.

[wuvuj]

9. If he wants to look like his father...

...he needs to raise his eyebrows a little?

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. OMG look at Manson now

I thought they had mislabeled the picture.

[Stevenmarc]

11. Gee I'm depressed and deeply anguished, I know what I'll do, I'll go to the media

Getting your 15 min of fame certainly should perk you up

[VOX]

14. I call Bullshit until a DNA match is made.

Otherwise, this guy is making hay with what little he has.

[Kahuna]

17. That makes two of us. His mother wouldn't be the first woman to lie

about paternity. Even if she did know Manson, what are the chances that she was passed around during that orgy?

[Shell Beau]

31. The article I read had letters that Manson had written to this fellow.

I thought a DNA had been done, but I could be very wrong. I can't imagine anyone wanting to claim he is the dad, but stranger things have happened.

[raouldukelives]

16. Almost as bad as finding out your a Bush

[Diclotican]

21. raouldukelives

raouldukelives

If I had known that I was a Bush, I would NOT have told anyone the fact.. I would have been to ashamed to even think about it..

Diclotican

[treestar]

32. LOL

Almost! :rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

18. I think he looks more like Nathan Lane than Manson.

[Kahuna]

19. Definately. nt

[deutsey]

22. LOL...I agree.

[cbdo2007]

23. I don't know...I bet he could get some $$$ for the rights to the story though.

And there's probably some money in being Charles Manson's next of kin? I know it's not the best way to make money but if you've got lemons (or a psychopath murderous father), make lemonade!

[brooklynite]

24. So, probably not getting together for Thanksgiving Dinner...

[Dogtown]

25. I fail to see a resemblance.

I don't believe him.

[laststeamtrain]

26. If true, then, kid, your ship just came in. Get an agent. n/t.

[Iggo]

27. Wow. I was hoping this was The Onion or something.

Yikes.

[BoneDaddy]

28. WAAAAHH

Then stop exploiting it and doing your best to look like him.

Nutter.

[AzDar]

29. Ice-T is Charles Manson's illegitimate son?

Who knew?;)

[latebloomer]

30. Well, ain't that a kick in the ass! n/t

[Ilsa]

35. And people don't understand why many women don't want to give birth to

a rapist's kid? Hello.

[ddeclue]

36. Bummer.. on the other hand I'd rather have Manson as my dear old dad than Hitler..

:cry:

[nickinSTL]

37. wow. I guess there are some times that it's just as well if you don't

find out these sorts of things.
