Madonna Strikes a (Blasphemous) Pose

Madonna, The Great, Great, Great Grandmother of Celebrity Religion is at it again! The once hot (and now just ancient and hernia afflicted) pop goddess has brought out the big guns in terms of blasphemy. According to reports in our favourite newspaper, The Sun, Madonna plans to be CRUCIFIED live on stage during her latest tour.

According to The Sun, the singer will be enter the stage from above, attached to a giant cross, made of diamonds and Swarovski crystals at a cost of nearly $10 million. Sounds pretty inoffensive to us. Besides, Madonna's life bears a lot of similarity to that of Jesus; the non-stop persecution at the hands of the Paparrazzi (Pharisees); living a life of poverty, resisting both materialistic and sexual temptations; spreading the Word of God to the outcasts; being Jewish...and now, in a move that truly underscores the empathy she feels with The Son of Man, she has spent $10 million to mock his death in what amounts to a big publicity stunt. Apparently after she is crucified she is going to show a ten minute cartoon on a large video screen, showing the Prophet Muhammed as a terrorist, while dressed as Ganesh and slaughtering a Sacred Cow and drinking the blood of swine.
