Lines: 20 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.
