Can't we pass a law or something?
Madonna is back in the news again, but only because this Evel Knievel of the music-industrial complex wanted to be; otherwise, the general public might finally figure out that she's nothing more than a talentless attention whore who was spanked once too seldomly by her papa.
What could she have done now to merit any more attention? Apparently this lapsed little Catholic girl staged a mock crucifixion (of herself, naturally, as any any self-respecting meglomaniac would do) just miles away from the Vatican, who officially had announced its displeasure with the Material Whore's plans. Here's an on-line article:
We'll forgive the Vatican for even publicly commenting on Madonna's latest publicity stunt (just as I'm sure that, deep in their hearts, they're forgiving Madonna for even thinking of the stunt). By now they should realize that, like a spoiled child who desperately craves any kind of attention, Madonna survives only because people such as the Vatican members themselves do nothing but fuel her desire for even more attention -- and you would think priests might know a little thing or two about child psychology, wouldn't you?
Again, Madonna's straddling a gigantic steel pole while singing "Like a Virgin" with a big, shit-eating grin on her face is about as news-worthy as somebody in the Bush adminstration defending the actions of somebody else in the Bush administration. Logically, if it happens all the time, it's not really news-worthy (unless the consistency itself is an aberration in the bigger context, of course -- see Tiger Woods).
The real problem, then, is that anybody protesting Madonna's publicity stunts is protesting the wrong thing. Rather than protesting Madonna's latest shallow attempt at making a statement, he should be protesting the stagnate legislative community's failure to pass laws allowing entertainers who have aboslutely nothing new to offer to be put to sleep, much like a crippled and completely useless race horse.
Time is not on your side, Madonna. I hope for your sake that you do something legitimately news-worthy, or you might have to join other stars of your caliber who have been put to sleep, like Trigger or Mister Ed.
And, if you want it, my advice to you is to find Mandy Moore as soon as possible; giving her the tongue would be something memorable!
