Madonna Named A 'Transvestite' at the MTV Europe Music Awards

This year, the host of the MTV Europe Music Awards was Sacha Baron Cohen, the British AliG comedian.
The problem is he might have pushed the comedy a little too far when calling Madonna a 'transvestite'.

After the opening being performed by the famous Material Girl, Cohen walked on stage saying:
"Welcome to the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest.
The singer before me - who was he? It was very courageous of MTV to start the show with a genuine transvestite", he added later, without mentioning Madonna's name. But still…

Anyway, the pop diva is in no position to be upset, as everybody else has praised her performance. In an article from The Sun, entitled "Madge still looks magic", the queen of pop is said to be, at 47, amongst "the world's sexiest women". Pictures of her are included in a slideshow on The Sun site.

Twenty years after her first UK No1, Madonna is still a hot topic, making headlines.
In 2003, she shocked fans by snogging pop princesses Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage at the MTV Music Awards.

WHY is everyone so afraid of offending madonna? Basically she's someone who made a lot of money and got a lot of attention for getting horny 14-year olds to dig into thier pockets for thier last bits of change for her CD's. Wow! Oh sure, the knack for commercialism. If not for the loyal 14-year olds, that knack could never be expressed. I'm sure there are many talented others with such commercial savant-ism, however our society just dosen't happen to reward thier brand of talent, our world is probably simply too shallow for them. OOooh- someone insulted madonna! WHO CARES???????????????? get some spine, people!
