All right, here it is.  I think she is doing what she wants to be doing,
and has a perfect right to do so.  If you do not like it, don't buy her
albums, don't buy the magazine, and change stations when a Madonna song
comes on the radio.  Its a (semi)free country and she is taking advantage
of it.  More power to her (even if I do dislike almost all of her songs --
obviously somebody likes them).  The fact that she is posing nude implies
NONE of your speculations (isn't there an old saying about filth being in
the mind of the beholder?).  If you don't want her as a role model, fine.
She won't be yours.  She's not mine, either.  These are personal choices.
I deplore the aspersions you cast on those for whom she is a role model.
Enough.  Your posting sickens me.
