Wanna Laugh?
There's a frankly ridiculous piece about the Madonna shtick on the MSNC website, which I've cut-n-pasted below.
Swept away by a new controversy
MSNBC : Oct. 30 — Madonna may be a 44-year-old mother of two, but it looks like she still has what it takes to cause a religious controversy.
IN HER NEW video for the Bond theme song “Die Another Day,” Madonna appears with Hebrew words written on her and wearing a sacred Jewish prayer item, says a source.
The singer has become deeply involved in Kaballah, a Jewish form of mysticism, but the use of the sacred images is said to be “offending” and “outraging” Jewish leaders, according to various reports.
“The Hebrew tattoo she has means fight your pridefulness, your ego,” one source said. But apparently one of the items she wears, a tefillin, is only worn by men.
The source says Madonna might be trying to have an encore of her “Like A Prayer” controversy that outraged some Catholic leaders.
Madonna’s spokeswoman says that’s not the case. She says that Madonna had everything in the video approved in advance by Kaballah leaders.
“She feels there is nothing offensive” in the video, the spokeswoman tells The Scoop.
Spot the mistakes:
1 Don't know who the Source is, but I don't think the tattoo means "fight your pridefulness/ego"
2 I have no idea who "Kaballah leaders" are
3 She wears tefillin - phylacteries - plural. It's just not a singular noun
Who writes this stuff? Don't they have fact checkers?
