The term "has been" springs to mind in so far as Madonna is concern.

If it had not been for MTV, Modonna would have been a "never-was".

She built her reputation on shocking her audience. She's merely run out of things to shock and repulse people with and therefore is doing something rather desperate.

She probably spends more time thinking about how she can be the most outrageous/obnoxious than she does with her dance routines. She is boring...

Shows how much you know. Even despite the infamous 'hand of god' incident. He was the most talented footballer the world has ever seen.

Start dissing Islam, wench. That would be 'cutting edge' (as you would find out).

Look, it's hard being a fifty year old village bicycle. The old grey mare ain't what she used to be, and she's got to drum up attention. So, when in doubt, go with the classics - mock Christians - after all, they don't cut people's heads off.
To: Pharmboy
I wonder what she is going to try next. The only thing I can think of is for her to try and perform an ancient Roman augury, by dissecting a live sheep on stage.
Perhaps I shouldn't give her ideas.

Always was, to my mind.
As long as she keeps selling tickets, she can't really be called one from a financial standpoint.
For about a hundred years now, the primary intent of much of our "art" has been to "shock the Bourgeoisie." It moved from avant garde art to mainstream fine art to popular culture.
One would think this seam pretty well mined by now!
But the "artists" keep digging away, meanwhile congratulating each other on their courage for doing so.

The easter bunny thing was a hoax.

# Every Good Friday eight pious Filipinos volunteer to be nailed to crosses on a hill north of Manila I wouldn't include these folks with the rest. The rest of them use the cross as a cheap gimmick. The last is designed as a form of worship. Even though I disagree with that particular belief, the goal and intent is quite different.
To: MadIvan
I think this kind of stuff shocked people in like the 1960's. I missed the part where she showed the Mohammed cartoons.

MADONNA’S world tour began in typically provocative fashion when the pop singer hung from a cross, shouted an obscenity at an image of President Bush, showed video footage that seemed to compare Tony Blair to Adolf Hitler, and writhed around on a device that combined a horse’s saddle with a stripper’s pole. YAWN!
...and the world yawns...

Exactly what I was thinking. Seems Moandonna doesn't have the balls to offend the muzzies.
