Madonna and controversies go hand in hand and this time she targeted McCain (A Republican Senator). The 50 years old pop lady has kicked up a new fuss as she compared McCain with the German dictator Adolf Hitler in a video. All this happened with the recent launch of her concert tour “Sticky and Sweet”.
Madonna’s career retains a long list of controversies and her chartbuster music, tours and albums most of the time get mingled with sex, religion or politics. It’s been a long time since she gained the tag of a global star but even today she’s the most talked about name among the youth.
“Madonna seems to be an extraordinarily brilliant business woman in the business of culture,” said Robert Thompson, a professor of media at and pop culture at Syracuse University.
“She’s controlled her controversy, so every time she’s been in controversy it does her good not bad,” he told Reuters.
Over the weekend, in Cardiff and Wales her world tour opened and Madonna revealed a video montage juxtaposing images of Hitler with McCain.
Blasting Madonna, McCain’s campaign spokesmen told the media organizations that the video was “outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive.”
Abraham Foxman, national director for Jewish group The Anti-Defamation League also issued a statement calling it “outrageous to invoke Nazi imagery in the context of John McCain’s candidacy.”
