Madonna proved once again that sparking controversy is
definitely her thing. However, the Material Girl did not count on sex or
religious issues this time, as she preferred to turn to politics. Notwithstanding
the fact that celebrities and political matters don’t really have common
ground, the pop icon kicked off her Sticky & Sweet world tour on Saturday
night lashing out at Senator John McCain.
That surely drew some attention, I’d say.
During her four-act show which took place in Millennium
Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, Madonna chose to display a couple of political
montages...

Madonna launched her "Sweet and Sticky" tour in her own fashion - by creating a bit of controversy and pissing off some people. On Saturday, the tour’s first show was held in Cardiff, Wales, and it began by showing a set of political montages during the song “Get stupid.” So far, so good, but the political figures featured in the montage included not only “classics” such as Adolf Hitler, John Lennon, Gandhi and Al Gore (the montage was referring to issues such as destruction and global warming).
