Madonna and her crucifixion display.
 
I have been seeing this story pop up every time Madonna plays a concert. The latest being a Dutch priest making a fake bomb threat to get the concert cancelled.

Now I'm not what you could call religious though nominally a Christian I have a few of my own ideas. However I actually agree with the condemnation of Madonna. I believe that there are certain things that should be respected and this is one of them. I can't see what point Madonna is trying to make, nothing political for sure. Personally I wish someone would crucify her as I'm getting fed up with the crap she spouts.

Anyway what do people here think. In short I think it is in bad taste, it is purely for show.

Me, I am Atheist, so anything to do with religion I do not care.
However, I would not insult anybody and in anyway in regards to his religion.

Now if I condemn Madonna's action, I do not know, as I did not see what exactly she does with the crucifixion. But if I was her, I would leave that "marketing method" for a moment, she's never going to sell me a ticket for sure anyway.:down:

Joe Satriani is the only music for me :up::rock:

No. Let bad taste speak for itself. If we ban this, we have no grounds to resist to Muhammedan demands to limit freedom of press - then we must ban Muhammad cartoons as well. Legal laws cannot replace a detoriation of values and manners. The latter is a question of education, and someone's goals in life. If your only goal is money, then mindless performances like this are the result. Heal it by boosting up cultural life again, bring it back to a higher niveau. Don'T try to replace lacking arts and culture with police regulation - the mental vacuum will remain nevertheless. BTW, Western societies will survive her show, and very easily so.

"Like a virgin, touch for the very first time... like a virrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgin....ZZZZT

No, I don't like Madonna. No, her silliness should not be banned. Free speech is free speech, and if it's not actual obscenity on stage, there shouldn't be a problem.

Ban? No.

Admit to her lousy music and vile taste in virtually everything she touches? Sure!

I have no problem drawing "moral lines" between Christianity and islam. I have no compunctions against banning anti-Christian displays, and allowing anti-islamic displays. They do the exact same thing with us, so by Allah, I say level the playing field. Use taqiyya against their taqiyya.

However, Madonna is just a freak (I mean that socially, as well as sexually [*whew* she's a freak]).

Isn't Boy George and David Hasslehoff still popular in Europe? Poor taste does not necessarily warrant a bazooka. Just ostracize her like we've done over here, and move onto another freak. Lord knows there's plenty of them. Last I heard, Michael Jackson was roaming around that part of the world. With Madonna, you just have to protect your pets, but with Michael, you've got to protect your kids.

It seems none of you have seen it, but after her moment of glory in this scene, people dressed with the David's Star and the Islamic Crescent enter the stage and start dancing together, while images of war, disaster and poverty are displayed in a large screen behind her. From the back-stage feature on the DVD (don't ask) I understood the idea is that Christianity is an evil religion responsable for the images behind her and for preventing Jews and Muslims from living together. Avon Lady, Konovalov, I'm so sorry!

Any Catholic Priest who gets involved with this mundanity should be immediately prosecuted by the Vatican for blasphemy and condemned to a 2 year refreshment course in an isolated Monastery. If he refuses to comply, he's excommunicated latae sententia for Heresy. How dare he lower the Church to Madonna's lower[est] ground?

I voted no. She and her show should be completely ignored except when seeking a bad example.

Xabba, can you add another option to you poll?
- Don't care about a gap-toothed old hag whos overinflated sense of her own self importance has obviously caused her to loose the plot.

:yep::lol:

I miss the days when we could throw rotten lettuce and tomatoes at aging, desperate-for-attention pop stars.... ;)

jumpy 09-09-06 06:00 PM

Who needs rotten fruit & veg when you have Paris Hilton? :rotfl:

Apology accepted Captain Needa, uh I mean TteFAboB. ;) Sorry but I've been watching too much Star Wars the last couple of days and just couldn't resist. :D

Moral of the story:

If you're a famous singer, and want to be respected twenty years after your first hit, don't base your entire career around being a slutty pop-tart. :roll:

Madonna is just looking for fame that was body-bagged about 20 years ago.

She isn't going to get much more popular over here. Besides, I often enjoy watching people make idiots of themselves.
