As a special added bonus she came out and took off her top to reveal the name OBAMA across her chest. Then she thrilled the Denver audience by pretending to pop off a few rounds into the crowd, always a knee-slapper.
Did Madonna display a galling lack of judgment…or was she merely taking the whole theme of “Express Yourself” to heart? Either way, the iconic entertainer certainly offended some of her fans in Denver Thursday night when she started off her show with a scene involving guns and simulated shooting into the crowd. Madonna’s used the gun-firing skit–which was described on local news KUSA’s Facebook account by various fans as graphic and including “a blood-spattered screen”–on previous tour dates. However, of course, Denver is a sensitive city in which to perform such theatrics, given the tragic mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado just three months ago that claimed 12 lives.
But hey, don’t be upset, it’s just her zany artistic expression to show how bad guns are. So lighten up, folks.
The gunplay wasn’t the only thing fans were buzzing about regarding the Denver date. According to many, Madonna took the stage remarkably late, “stepped on a cross,” and took off her top to reveal “OBAMA” printed on her chest.
These Obama supporters are so hip, huh?
The thought of Madonna exposing her fifty-year old Hooters and confirming that the medical condition known as “Coopers Droop” really exists frightens me.
I saw a photo of her from last year during one of her concerts and she was wearing a lovely sweater. Upon further exam I realized it wasn’t a sweater but instead a shitload of sagging skin from her upper arms. I can only imagine what the old gal’s TA TA’s look like. I wake up screaming at the very thought.
P.S. Did she call anyone a Nazi this time? Just curious.
It would be mildly amusing if someone returned fire.

Bwaaa haaa haaaa. No Rob, it would be hilarious. FIFY.
Does anyone remember when she was fresh and fun, ya know, thirty years ago?
Comments 1-4: Hilarious all
Why would anyone pay good money to go see this relic?
She should’ve stepped on a koran. That might have made life a lot more exciting for her.
Stepped on a Koran?!?!!
Ulululululululululul I keel you!!!
You think it’s easy to keep coming up with novel schtick to substitute for talent?
I can’t believe that anyone would pay money to go to a Madonna concert.
Even the ‘shocking’ is getting lame. And when that happens it reminds me of an Onion article about Marilyn Manson.

Figures The Onion would be there first.
She stepped on a cross but wouldn’t wear Islamic dress. Edgy.
It appears Madonna hasn’t had a new idea in decades. She seems to be saying that everything she knew as a teenager is all that she needs to know as a Helen Thomas wannabe. Life does not seem to have taught her any lessons. All those old philosophers of ancient days were wrong. Age does not bestow wisdom. It just bestows the need to exercise harder.
Idiots gather to watch idiots perform. Perfect.
aunt hagatha, your dance coach called…she said that your bed at the sanitarium was ready and that your therapist would meet you there with some happy juice after the show…
she used to own a nice pair, but now they’re just dusting her loafers
I suppose I could say it’s sad Madonna has come to this. But I would be lying. Her whole career is based on a sad, thin, stupid idea and this is the inevitable conclusion. What’s sad is that she is still performing. Sort of confirms Mencken’s line about underestimating the taste level of Americans.
Reminds me of the late Mae West; on stage ’till the final curtain but the goods gone years before.
