Now She Wants To Be Like The Virgin

Because apparently now Madonna (the singer) thinks she's the Virgin Mary... (via Michelle Malkin)
In Poland, Machina magazine published cover art of pop celebrity Madonna's face superimposed on the Virgin Mary this week.


Here it comes...Oh, she's so brave! Oh, she's so artistic! Oh, she's so smart and gifted! Oh, she named herself Madonna! Oh, she's the Virgin Mary! Wait...

No...she's not the Virgin Mary. She's not even a virgin. She's not the Mother of God. She's not any type of a role model at all actually. She's the Material Girl. She wears her underwear outside of her clothes, when she's wearing underwear. She published a book of nothing but nude photos of herself. She was married briefly to that Iranian reporter and boat-bailer Sean Penn.

She did pretend to be Evita for a while, but that didn't last. She has tried and tried and tried to re-invent herself as a singer every few years, to some success, but the years are gaining on her. And no amount of photo airbrushing and plastic surgery - and religion bashing - is going to stop that.

Shall we riot or burn her CDs? nah...She's too pathetic to waste that much energy on. Though I wholeheartedly endorse laughing at her. Celebrities and singers don't like being laughed at. Because magazines like this tell them they're being bold and daring, and not stupid or boring.

Anyway, I think the Cathoic Church should avoid any calls for Holy War with it's response. Maybe a direct question from the Pope would be cool. Or perhaps a couple of the Vatican nuns could pay her a visit, for tea or something.

Besides, others are probably going to take up this fight. It seems the magazine also pasted one of Madonna's children's faces over the face of the baby Jesus. So I'm sure Kanye West is going to have something to say about that. I mean I thought he was Jesus?


Though I wonder... If singers and actors want to start emulating Christian, or any Biblical figures, for that matter, maybe we should tell them who they really remind us of? The people of Sodom and Gomorrah? The Pharisees? Anyone have any ideas? Or a copy of Photoshop? I'm just asking.
