Madonna and Her Fans (Stalkers,Crazy, Etc.)

Yesterday’s blog on Madonna saw me being called a ‘judgmental bitch’, a ‘cu*t’, a ‘whore’ and told to go kill myself. Mama…I’ve arrived!

I must say though, the degree of crazy I witnessed here yesterday is actually quite disturbing. I have never idolized anyone in my life and I didn’t think that anyone did past the age of 12. Unless you’re a little girl who wets her knickers over a boy band, it is wholly unacceptable to go batshit crazy in defense of someone you’ve never met before in your life.

And that’s just it you see, you don’t know Madonna and she doesn’t know or care about you. It’s one thing to be a fan of her music and her look. It’s a whole other thing to tell someone to go kill themselves because they don’t share your opinion. You don’t get a special Madonna badge of honor for such stupidity.

People seem to have missed the entire point of the post. Nowhere in there did I say Madonna is ugly. I don’t believe she is. She looks great for her age. No one can really deny that. I am fully aware that we all age and that one day, I will be 50 (unless one of these deranged Madonna fans gets to me first). But I don’t think it is ageist for me to suggest that one should perhaps try aging with some grace. As one commenter pointed out, look at Tina Turner if you need an example of still being sexy over 50. And a huge thank you to those of you who suggested that I will be a dried up, shriveled prune-like wench when I come of age. My mother is about to be 62 and looks fan-fucking-tastic. Good genes run in my family douchenozzles. I’ll be a knock out.

My point was that as a mother, dressing the way she does and gyrating around is a little cringeworthy. Just as I think it is for Britney or Christina or any of these young mothers out here doing the same thing.

Can you see the sheer hypocrisy of it all? If you saw a regular woman over-50 walking down the street dolled up as ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ as we say here in England, you would, without a shadow of a doubt, be the first to say that bitch needs to cover up.

To all of you who said ‘She’s Madonna. She can do what she wants!’ – if she were The Madonna as in, the religious figure, I would see your point. Where do we draw the line? If she kills someone should she go free on the Madonna defense? Oh, I’m sorry, was that hyperbolic? I thought that’s just how you Madonna fans roll.

I am not jealous of Madonna. She is merely not to my taste. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you’re jealous of it. As a commenter pointed out, if I don’t like beef, am I jealous of cows?

For the commenter who said ‘Madonna is the most beautiful woman in the world!’ – to put Madonna before your own mother nicely displays your degree of lunacy. Kudos.

For those who said the first picture I posted of Madonna was photoshopped but don’t seem to think any other pictures you see of her are, exactly whereabouts did the special bus drop you off?

To the other commenter, who said (speaking of Madonna’s daughter): ‘Lourdes is one of the most graceful, well mannered, intelligent, talented, educated, fashion forward, respectful, happy, outgoing and emotionally balanced children I have ever observed.’ HOW THE fu*k WOULD YOU KNOW?! Seriously, have you heard yourself? Get a grip.

In conclusion, if this showed anything, it showed that fanatical lunatics are not now, nor will they ever be, open to logic, reason or the other side of an argument. But if you are actually all twelve (which I’m hoping you are, as it’s the only way such spirited defense of a stranger could be excused), then maybe it’s time for milk, cookies and bedtime. Run along.
