Apparently Madonna may be prosecuted in Germany for Blasphemy over her appearance on a cross with a crown of thorns on her head. Yes, that’s right, there’s actually (apparently) a law against that in Germay – and that’s fucked up.
Ok, most of you know I’m an atheist. I don’t give a shit, except when religion starts trying to influence the laws of the land (and I spent a good 20 minutes the other day swearing at the TV when watching the UK House of Lords filled with unelected religious representatives nobody voted for – I’m that anti Religion influencing politics on any level). Having a law against Blasphemy is just so wrong I don’t know where to start discussing it. I hope they do prosecute Madonna (over someone else) because her lawyers would have a field day over it (I hope). I really hope she doesn’t give in to calls not to have those scenes in her performance – for once, she could do a good thing by standing up for the right to nail yourself to a cross in public.

I thought you went to live in the USA…? WHy ar you still concerend about the UK Governmental process…? Oh, and you do know that the House of Lords rejects most of the House of Commons worst ideas…? Thats why they are un-elected…!
