PUBLIC OPINION > Madonna's Nipple Flash Was Just Sad

We haven't seen a wardrobe malfunction like this since that fateful Super Bowl on February 1, 2004. Oh, we remember that day well... But enough of the past. Madonna's nip-slip wasn't in front of millions of people, but it wasn't exactly a malfunction either. The 53-year-old intentionally showed off her right nipple during a concert in Istanbul on Saturday. No one is sure why. Publicity, probably. We asked the public if it was sexy or just... sad.
Um. No. Once upon a time, like 25 years ago, maybe she could have gotten away with it. Maybe. But a 53-year-old woman should not be slipping a nip to an unsuspecting crowd no matter how many times she's been called a sex symbol. You don't see George Clooney yanking off his trousers for no reason at political rallies. She's already looking a little bit desperate with all that talk against Lady Gaga. This is just depressing.
Women Don't Want to See It
Obviously men are going to be a little more enthusiastic about anything with the phrase "flashes her nipple," but the lack of female support was staggering. Only 4% of female voters thought Madonna's intentional nipple slip could possibly be considered "sexy." So much for publicity. It's not like a bunch of dudes are about to buy a Madonna album over this.
Liberals Are a Little Intrigued
Naturally, this had some political implications as well, though it was probably less political than it was simply a matter of taste. Conservatives were expectedly turned off by this vulgar display of trivial titillation, while liberals were a little more willing to embrace it. But the moral of the story is, overall, both percents were abysmal.
Unmarried, Unimpressed
We did notice one particularly odd correlation in the relationship breakdown. Married people were a good deal more likely to thing the slip was sexy. We didn't see much of a correlation in age, so we can't really pin it on that, but both singles and voters in unmarried relationships were noticeably less impressed with Madonna's nipple. Again, probably her target demographic.

I am liberal in thinking in many ways, but you're much more liberal than I am. Too much liberalism is not good for a society. We become weak and we fall apart. It's happened in all societies, and it's happening in this country, as well as the liberal countries of Europe. This world needs structure. It doesn't mean that people shouldn't do what they want to do; it means that you should accept the consequences of the decisions you make.
Take tattoos, for example. It's become so popular that many are tattooing every possible area imaginable on their bodies. I say that they have the right to do that, but they should expect to be discriminated against when looking for a decent job. No employer should be obliged to hire them, because, after all, that is the employer's prerogative to refuse employment for that reason alone. Of course, the liberal-minded person may think that the employer can't do that because it's not right. You see how liberalism can contradict itself.
Now, perhaps you would be better off taking a cool shower and calming down, dear.
6 A voice says, “Call out.”
Then he answered, “What shall I call out?”
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.

Now she's being a butthurt desperate attention-seeking washed up old fool.
I WOULD say she should quit while she's ahead... but she's not anywhere NEAR "ahead", especially with her "modest" new song we heard at the Superbowl "L.U.V. Madonna"
Step aside, Madonna. You're done.
I mean, I can understand not approving of the nip slip, just not how it would so dramatically alter your perception of her. I thought this was like par for the course with her.
I understand Madonna did utilize her sexuality during her prime, but now it's clear it's solely for attention on HER, not her music.... and she's going about it all wrong.
If Madonna were SMART, she'd be more admirably and just bow out.
Ah. She's old as all hell. That's sad....and disturbing!
