I can see two problems which people have with Madonna:

(1) She has insulted Christians by her disrespectful wearing of the
cross and her attitude towards sex ("I'm not ashamed of anything I
do!"). 

(2) Because she is not ashamed, neither are a lot of teenage girls --
she has "sold" the idea that promiscuity is OK to teenage girls.

I have no particular complaint with Madonna.  I can see how a teenage
girl might be affected by her though -- whenever I go shopping I see
tons of Madonna look-alikes and wonder what kind of influence she has
had on them.  Me, I just listen to the music.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards,
for they are subtle and quick to anger.
