Madonna Redefines Tacky


T he following is a report from the Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES - Less than 12 hours after Madonna crucified herself on a mirrored cross, the Catholic League expressed its discontent with the concert stunt.

The controversial diva wore a crown of thorns and sang while hanging from a cross during Sunday night's opener of her "Confessions" world tour at The Forum in Inglewood.


"Knock off the Christ-bashing," Catholic League president Bill Donohue said in a statement Monday. "It's just pathetic."

Is she tacky or desperate? Or both? Maybe they should've used real nails. I was never a big fan of hers. Too much shock, not enough substance. I also heard that she made fun of "W." Cheap shots from a political genius? Of course! Apparently some of us see some value in a freak show.
