Madonna’s Pathetic

If anyone still believes that Madonna possesses any veritable wit or charm, one only had to witness her pathetic “bad girl” persona with David Letterman. She was not only unattractive physically but personally and intellectually as well.

What is most pathetic, however, is that she apparently believes she is acting clever by using the F-word or licking her lips repeatedly in a ribald and banal fashion, or delivering (for 35 minutes) third-rate adolescent sexual humor. Even sixth-graders at recess or high school football players in the locker room would have been more inventive and entertaining.

I’m not talking about having my sensibilities insulted. Rather, I’m wondering how such behavior could pass for astute entertainment when it is sophomoric, banal and desperate.
