I can't stand you, Brits, says Madonna

London - American popstar Madonna, who ascended into Britain's high society with her marriage to film director Guy Ritchie, said she is fed up with "everything that is English", according to a British press report on Saturday.
The 44-year-old vegetarian and yoga convert, thinks hunting game and deer is "barbaric", and so much so, that she will no longer tolerate 34-year-old husband Guy's involvement in the sport at their home in Wiltshire, southwest England.
The deeper problem, however, according to the Daily Mail, is that Madonna's love affair with the English way of life is coming to an end.
"She hates the weather, the people, and above all hunting," the report said, and besides, Guy's hunting parties with his friends are too "buddyish" for her.
Madonna, who was enthusiastic at first, fitted herself out from head-to-toe in traditional tweeds, a hunting cap and rubber boots but later told her husband why he should retreat from the sport. Her decision was made on the basis of protecting the "souls of the poor birds" who were being shot.
But according to the Mail, Madonna only came to this realisation after her own shooting abilities proved to be a "total flop".

I think she's just fed up with the fact that all food is boiled in England.
Including toast.

If Madonna's love affair with the English way of life is coming to an end, can her love affair with hubby be far behind?

It's plain to see who wears the penis in that family. No wonder she was always grabbing her crotch in those videos.

I ain't the only thing she's a "total flop" at. Her movie this year was an abject disaster at the box office and her "song" in the latest James Bond movie was by far the worst of the 21 Bond movie songs; I'd rather listen to the chipmunks sing the Christmas song. No contest.

Her decision was made on the basis of protecting the "souls of the poor birds" who were being shot. Huh? Is it just me or does this make absolutely no sense at all. Why would it matter to them how they die? Does she think that shot birds go to hell and hawk killed bird go to heaven or something?
To: MadIvan
Ah, man! You mean she's coming back? And I didn't even know we'd gotten rid of her.
To: sarcasm
Brits to Madonna: It's right mutual!

I believe it was our very own Mick Jagger who said she is a "drop of talent in an ocean of ambition".
The sooner she leaves Britain, the happier I will be. To Guy Ritchie, I'd say, "Don't fancy yours, mate".

Guy's hunting parties with his friends are too "buddyish" for her. What exactly does that mean? ...That he should instead spend the whole of his time kissing her hairy ass (and armpits)?

Do us a favor will you?
See that she heads for France. After all, they considered Jerry Louis a comic genius.

It means that she is the type of woman who thinks that she can go anywhere with and do anything with her friends, but hubby has to tow the line.
