Madonna Pulls Anti-War Video for ’Life’ | ||
2003-04-01 | ||
Yeah, right... In a statement posted on her Web site Monday, the singer said the video was filmed before the war started and was not appropriate to air at this time. "Due to the volatile state of the world and out of sensitivity and respect to the armed forces, who I support and pray for, I do not want to risk offending anyone who might misinterpret the meaning of this video," Madonna said. Nope. None of that Dixie Chick Stuff for me. Not flushing my career down the toilet. The video for the title track of a new album shows Madonna wearing military garb next to dancers in camouflage on a fashion runway. At one point, a grenade is thrown in the direction of a lookalike of President Bush. Scenes are intercut with images of war. Now I ask you? Who could misintepret that??? The video also shows Madonna trapped in a bathroom stall, where she uses a knife to carve "protect me" on the wall. Well, call me dense, but just what the hell is that supposed to mean??? Warner Bros. Records will be releasing Madonna's new album April 22. The video was scheduled to premiere on VH-l on Friday. The single "American Life" has just been released to radio. ...and we can all hardly wait. FOLLOWUP: Drudge describes the vid thusly... The DRUDGE REPORT obtained the clip, which is by far the most controversial work ever made by the artist.It's doubtful anything that sophomoric presents a danger to the Republic. And I doubt anyone with Madonna's acting skills can gather much more opprobium. (Thanks to Michelle for the headzup!) | ||

#7 I guess she just wanted to answer that pressing question once and for all: Is she housebroken? Hope she washed her hands before tossing that grenade......ewwww...... Thanks, Madonna.....please go away now. |

#4 When Madonna isn't simulating oral sex with coke bottles she makes very important anti-war statements. |

#2 I'd rather she release it, it'll finish the job "Swept Away" did on her spiralling career |
