Madonna
Mock Crucifixion has Christians in an Uproar

Madonna has taken back her crown. She has done it again! The queen of controversy has found a way to insult Christians, Jews and Muslim leaders, by displaying a mock crucifixion, as she performs in concert, on her tour Confessions. Some Italian citizens, planned to boycott the sale of tickets for her concert, because they did not see the purpose, of Madonna descending from the ceiling pinned to a cross with a crown of thorns on her head. Italian leaders thought it distasteful that Madonna, knowing the religious status of the city, would show some respect and cut the act. Even though many know of her Italian background, Madonna did not let up on her scene and continued doing the show despite, members of the Vatican pressing her to leave the country. Madonna has always had a thing for creating drama, being one of the most downloadable sex symbols on the Internet. A few years ago, Madonna had the media in uproar, as she brought controversy with her nude video [Erotica] and naked pictures for her book, named [Erotica] also for which, critiques accused her of using her sexuality to gain popularity. Madonna does not seem to be slowing down as the Confessions tour tickets are selling out everywhere. Madonna’s latest album [Confessions on a Dance Floor] rocketed music charts with hits like [Sorry] and [Hung Up] and by the singles success, Madonna clearly states that she is in no hurry to resign. Rumors were circulating that Madonna and Guy Ritchie were parting ways, due to her single [Sorry] which the media said, was written in anger for him. The rumors dissolved seen as, photographers spotted the two lovebirds together in London this month. There seems to be no limit to Madonna's outrageousness. From topless performances to switching religions [Kabala] like changing clothes, Madonna never ceases to amaze us!
