I really didn't care enough to fact check whether or not the breasts were real on the
Mechanical Animals cover. The truth is that they were prosthetic so you got me on that one. But it still doesn't change what I said about his gimmick image being an attempt to sell records. Simply being famous doesn't sell you records either. Example: Aaron Carter. Yes, Aaron Carter. His 2000 album,
Aaron's Party went three times platinum in the U.S. The following year he released
Oh, Aaron which went platinum as well. In 2002 he released
Another Earthquake which didn't even RIAA certify gold with a measly 60,000 some odd copies sold. I felt he was a good example because I remember him being all over the place in the early 2000's.
