Madonna now wants to adopt Tom Cruise?
Sanity is like oil: a rapidly diminishing resource.
Take Madonna’s latest remarks on the terrible plight of Tom Cruise:
Madonna believes Tom Cruise gets a “raw deal” for believing in Scientology. The pop superstar, who is a follower of controversial religion Kabbalah, a mystical off-shoot of Judaism insists the actor should be allowed to practice his faith without being ridiculed.
She told New York magazine: “I don’t care if people worship turtles or frogs! All I care about is whether they are good people and Tom is a good person. He gets a raw deal, just like the orphans in Malawi get a raw deal. I think a lot of marginalised people get a raw deal.”
I’m sure her Magsesty is right: Many marginalised people are indeed being marginalised.
Not many of them are couch climbing millionaire movie stars though, professing a belief in some highly weird ‘turtles and frogs’ indeed.
As most people - apart from Madonna - seem to understand though, it’s not necessarily the voices talking to you that are the problem but what you do about them. And when one of the things you do is to tell your wife to stop screaming while she delivers a baby without the benefit of pain-killers or attack people in public for seeking psychiatric help, well, then you come to a point where it becomes a public duty to ‘marginalise’ people who spend their time in public praising these various turtles and frogs.
On a less abstract level though, Mrs Madonna: about poor Tom Cruise being as bad off as a Malawi orphan? Are you too stupid or too indifferent to see the difference between a starving orphan and a pampered Hollywood star?
Would it were true, of course: Tom Cruise being a Malawi orphan. Though with our luck some idiot like Madonna would then adopt him and bring him to the West.
