Like.... so what ELSE is new? (Link Courtesy The BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/5006008.stm):rolleyes:

Why would someone with so much talent seem to feel the need to promote herself by offending so many people?" said the Church of England in a statement.

Ever hear of the quote by SAMUEL L. GOLDWYN?

"There is no such thing as bad publicity"

The question is....is it all a play to keep an otherwise flagging career afloat? Or is it....*ahem*.....LEGITIMATE artistic/musical expression?

Madonna is her own best fan. That's all that matters to her. I don't think she realizes we tired of her years & years ago.

She built a whole career out of this. So what? She markets her product to a certain demographic, and it works. She's actually pretty smart when it comes to business. Big Deal ...

I was brought up Protestant ,when one leves that flock [as I did] those left behind just say "You're going to hell" once and leave it at that.

Madonna [her birth name] was brought up Catholic and she left that flock ,it seems that whenever Catholics leave that flock it's a deep ,cathartic thing for both departed and departee for life,I don't know why that is,it just seems to be that way.

That reminds me of the best review I've read about Madonna by Bill Shapiro : "The best barroom advice I've ever gotten is : For the best time you've ever had in your life find a Catholic girl who's gone bad' " :nice: .
