I'm so tired of Madonna. Is there anything pop's greatest sexpot won't do for a little cheap publicity? Her latest stunt finds her comparing John McCain to Adolf Hitler. Really, is that the best you can do, Madonna, to drum up interest for your "Sticky and Sweet" tour?
From the L.A. Times:
Madonna lumped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee into a video montage that includes Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe…
McCain's image is in a video (for the aptly named song "Get Stupid") that shows him, Hitler and Mugabe juxtaposed with shots of global warming and environmental and social destruction. When the song ends, more peaceful images of John Lennon, Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and Barack Obama are shown.
Makes me long for the good old days when Madonna got photographed being balled by Vanilla Ice or made out with pop tarts half her age in order to keep her name in the headlines. At 50, she could actually make a statement by showing off her naughty bits. Here's to hoping her next stunt involves Playboy, or some straight-to-video soft core. Anything but politics, or "causes." Stick to what ya know, Madonna.
