She added: “It’s understandable when ageing singers who need publicity go to such extremes.”

It really is that simple, isn’t it. Irregardless of the people depicted or the politics. It is all a bit Sinéad o’Connor.

Oi! Sinead O’ Connor was ahead of her time. She was slagging off the Catholic Church before it was fashionable to do so.

Madonna is such a fool. She thinks she is 21 again judging by the picture.

Awwww… Those poor delicate little crazy-ass right-wingers!

Meanwhile, some friends say Madonna’s concert here in Portugal recently. Said it was an awesome spectacle but far far too much of it is her miming to playback and doesn’t justify the outrageous ticket prices.

It looks more like Marine Le Pen is using Madona to make some publicity!

whats her age got to do with it? Shes always been controversial regardless of her age. Media are very agest in their comments about her. If it was a male I doubt they would be remarking about their age!

Madonna did not take on the Catholic Church-she merely mocked it-which in the long run does nothing to affect change. That anyone would give her credit for acdtually making any sort of long term poitive change in any of the causes she champions shows she is brilliant in one area: realizing she can make lots of money and garner endless fame because she knows the average fan is too damn lazy to educate themselves about the true heros of change-they’d rathyer ooh and ahhh over her shallow presentations that rail in one dimensional; `shock’ tantrums. As for the comparison between Madonna and Bono-while both have massive egos it is factual to say Bono has actually educated himself on those issues which he champions-the man attended courses at Harvard and surrounded himself with people from all sides of the issues he champions. He has outgrown, by decades the need to use shallow spectacle and shock tactics to get his point across-and in doing so, in listening to and educating himself he has become a respected member of the international community helping to actually change things for the better. Madonna merely behaves as a petulent teenager and her stage antics are akin to a teenager sticking their tongue out and giving a middle finger to the grown-ups in the room. Yes, she shocks , but she is hardly taken seriously and she does not under any circumstances put in any intelectual,moral or long term effort s to change that which she rails against in her one dimensional tantrums. Anyone can shock, but very few people put in the actual long term hard work to change for the better the politics and institutions they disagree with. Flashing your tits for money is hardly ground breaking. It’s something I would expect from a desperate drunken co-ed-all `look at me! Look at me! Aren’t I liberated AND naughty?’ Eventually said co-ed matures emotionally and intellectually, though. Same can’t be said for Madonna. .

Can’t wait to see the show Tuesday

and it just would have to be a nazi symbol and not a symbol from the hindu or buddhist religion…can be interpeted either way :)
