Please, don't 'Express Yourself'
German authorities decided not to investigate Madonna's totally unpretentious crucifixion act on her new tour. Apparently there had been rumors they could nab her for "insulting religious beliefs," the same statute, that, coincidentally, kept my "Mime-Pope" routine out of Berlin.
I have to be honest here: Madonna annoys the bejesus out of me. We get it, you like attention! You've sold millions of albums, a fortune in concert tickets, and are adored by legions of people with bad taste. Do you have to bring the crucifixion into this?
I might think differently if you were making a salient piont. Are we supposed to believe you've been persecuted somehow? I'm no Biblical scholar, but I don't think Jesus was called out for dressing in skimpy outfits.
I'm kind of glad Britney Spears has faded away into motherhood. I don't think I could live in a world where, twenty years down the road, we see her in a confusing routine referencing Nelson Mandela.
K-Fed, on the other hand ...
