MAD MADGE
As Madonna's Confessions Tour comes to an end in Japan this week, the artist has released a statement regarding the much talked about Crucifixion scene.
"I am very grateful that my show was so well received all over the world. But there seems to be many misinterpretations about my appearance on the cross and I wanted to explain it myself once and for all.
"There is a segment in my show where three of my dancers 'confess' or share harrowing experiences from their childhood that they ultimately overcame. My 'confession' follows and takes place on a Crucifix that I ultimately come down from. This is not a mocking of the church. It is no different than a person wearing a Cross or 'Taking Up the Cross' as it says in the Bible.
BUNNY NOTE: Excuse me sweets, but it is mocking the church when you place yourself on a crucifix in the same pose Jesus died in. And that's exactly why you did it, to mock the church and sell more tickets or make sure they tune into your concert's NBC broadcast.
My performance is neither anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous. Rather, it is my plea to the audience to encourage mankind to help one another and to see the world as a unified whole. I believe in my heart that if Jesus were alive today he would be doing the same thing.
BUNNY NOTE: 1) You don't have a heart.
2) She really thinks she is Jesus--see what happens when too many fags worship you?
"My specific intent is to bring attention to the millions of children in Africa who are dying every day, and are living without care, without medicine and without hope. I am asking people to open their hearts and minds to get involved in whatever way they can. The song ends with a quote from the Bible's Book of Matthew:
"'For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you took care of me and God replied, "Whatever you did for the least of my brothers... you did it to me."'
"Please do not pass judgment without seeing my show."
BUNNY NOTE: I will be delighted to (try to) watch it for free on NBC and save myself hundreds of dollars.

I'm not a big Madonna fan, so please don't think I'm just defending her. I just had to point out that she wasn't striking a Jesus pose, per se. Thousands of people died on crosses in those days - it was a common execution/torture technique. It's a pose of someone on a cross. As well, in those days several people would go up on the cross only to confess to their crimes and would be let back down - as she is on stage. Hence the term, "Get off the cross..." where we ask someone to just admit what they did and stop needless self-suffering. Which does sound like what she was aiming for.
You're right though in that she knew it would be controversial and she'd be able to make money off of it. And that, I think, was the whole point. :)
She is quite fond of mocking the catholic church, simply because it is safe for her to do so, so it would be interesting to see her mock other religions, Islam perhaps, then chop her fucking head off cause she's a nightmare of a women and she doesn't deserve any more exposure on here!
Truly bored with these Madonna posts, Bun. Let's get back to some fun!
The real truth is Madonna suffers for her art the exact same way Jesus suffered for your sins. It is important for the world to (pay to) know this.
omg who cares.
In other words, she's saying "Made you Look! Made you look!"
Did u see those new pictures of Jesus in a pointy bra they found?
Mocking the church is a bad thing ???
oh dear lord (no pun intended)
what would teh press have had to say when i was a young draglette and did Shirleys Basseys "nobody does it like Me"....
Dressed as a pregnant nun !
Yes I saw this and though WTF does it have to do with starving Africans? She pretty much deserves all the ridicule she gets for this stunt. It's worse that she can't ADMIT she's being ridiculous. Yawn.
She says for the tv show she will actually blow Jesus while he's on the cross. This is to show respect for the church, and teach us that if we all spent just a little time helping out poor people, the world would be a better place....'course people with no sense of spirituality (like Bunny) will try to make it sound cheap and dirty
I worship the great tranny goddess. S/he has helped me all my life.
Bunny note: "...possibly if Kabbalah was anything but a fad and had anything than tap water and a red thread going for it; than maybe, I would mock this cracked out religion. Till then, Christians beware. See ya soon, Mormons"
"You're all just jealous because you're fat, ugly, tootheless and gay! And to think how very much she's done for the fat ugly toothless gays! Why must you be so ungrateful? She cares so much about everyone and so do I, which is why I hope you trip on your hateful tongues and die when your pubes catch fire. Not even your bitter tears of envy will put out the flames." There, I just wanted to say it before the madonna cult logs on.
DAMN, I tried but I type too slow. Plus I'm dumb and broke.
Do you have the brains, talent or fierceness to make up your own record? No, I don't think so.
Are you a semi-attractive person with a job, much less an education? No, I don't think so.
Are you a person with couth or morals who brushes their teeth in the morning? No, I don't think so.
Do you even have teeth? No, I don't think so.
Do you even have teeth? No, I don't think so.
Do you even have teeth? No, I don't think so.
Well maybe with the money you made off reading me you can go out and buy yourself a tooth. Goin' home talkin' bout "look Mom, I bought me a toofus!"
You may be able to buy one tooth darling, but you won't fill your mouth. Instead you'll be watching MY teeth smile across your video screen straight into the stratosphere.
This is the real thing bitch.
So while you're serving
"look Mom, I bought me a toofus!"
"look Mom, I bought me a toofus!"
"look Mom, I bought me a toofus!"
I'll be serving:

What a coincidence! Madonna has praised Rufus Wainright for coming down from the ceiling on a mirrored crucifix and whadderyouknow?!
According to today's Daily Mail newspaper Madonna's new platinum - blonde bob hairdo is in fact a wig!
Oh thank you thank you thank you.
I love you love you love you!
I think the time has finally come where people don't care anymore.
This is brilliant!
Let's listen to some real music for a change, fellow fahgots. Something truly inspiring...something spiritual...something powerful, poetic, and passionate.
Don't worry...your favorite show girl will still be around. But while you wait for her next big resurrection, why not try Hanne Hukkelberg?
