Patch's Poll: Has Madonna Gone Too Far?

The 53-year-old pop icon flashes two audiences in a week. Are you surprised?

 

It was all over the Internet, the news and the television talk shows.

Madonna flashed her breast at a concert in Istanbul. Then, days later, she decided to partially moon an audience in Rome.

Now, it’s not like Madonna, 53, hasn’t been controversial in the past. She’s tested the limits on what’s acceptable in public performances since her rise to fame over the past 20-something years.

But, there are still some the question the whole two-time flashing bit. The hosts of The View tackled the issue head-on the other day, with commentary that her move was just a desperate plea.

The Daily Mail newspaper in England collected tweets of reactions to Madonna’s wardrobe malfunctions, including one from CNN host Piers Morgan who asked whether it was the “Most embarrassing, cringe-worthy, desperate moment in the history of music?”

Do you think Madonna went too far by first showing off a bare breast on stage and now showing most of her bottom? Take our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

How many kids is 18.1% of all students? According to wiki, there are 37.9 million kids in primaryRead More school. High school represents 4/13 of that number (roughly) so that's about 11.6M kids, give or take, in high school who smoke. Yikes.

Today's drug prohibition is getting violent criminals off the street - how many are in prison rightRead More now? Abuse of crack cocaine, heroin and the like have been proven to alter the brain chemistry, changing the user's personality, and frequently making them violent when they otherwise would not hurt a fly. These drugs are also used to benefit people who need them as prescribed by doctors. Tobacco has no such benefits. And skydiving? What does that have to do with tobacco? Does the skydiver harm other's health a month or more after he/she's been on the ground? No. Tobacco smoke does. It's called third hand smoke. Value? How can you compare art and entertainment with smoking? Anybody can attend an art gallery and not adversely affect anybody else. Any normal person can watch TV or play video games without committing suicide or harming anybody. Smoking hurts everybody and helps no one every time a smoker lights up. Drugs and alcohol, when used in moderation or under the direction of a doctor, can be helpful. Tobacco can not make the same claim.
