Madonna using Nazi imagery on her new World Tour



Tel Aviv, New York — After crediting Nazi sympathizers in her first feature-length directorial effort "W.E.," Madonna is once again causing a similar kind of controversy by using very questionable images during her new world tour that kicked off last night in Tel Aviv. 

During one section of the tour, Madonna is seen looking like Adolf Hitler and sporting a swastika on her forehead. In addition to that, flags including the Iron Cross are seen waving around. The Iron Cross was a well known military decoration of The Third Reich

The stunned fans tried to shrug it off as yet another provocation by the Material Girl, who is well known for creating such controversy in order to get more press for her new projects. The question remains - did she finally take it too far?

more appropriate for the op, tbh
vonlisbon Re: yawn tbh1st-Jun-2012 02:36 pm (UTC)
That's what it was meant for ;)


though Madonna's own attention-whoring antics are certainly uncontested. Just... not in this instance.

I am so not interested in watching these before I see her

aka gimme the tl;dw version

It's a video for Nobody Knows Me. Over the course of the song, the 'strips' of paper over her eyes, nose, and mouth change rapidly. They are flashes of famous politicians, old pics of herself, seemingly anonymous people, etc. The side screens show images of protesters, like Occupy but also Westboro Baptist Church, among other things.

I got the impression that the symbolism was pretty literal. Nobody really knows her, they just project onto her whatever it is they hate in order to validate their hatred of her and the original issue. There's a few seconds dedicated to memorandums of people like Tyler Clementi. So possibly continuing the symbolism, this time applying it to homophobia.

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. Cool motion graphics. Awesome job to the studio who made it buuuut. There're some stuff in there that's a little... like, why? Exploitative.
