In my (pretty hopeless) quest to chronicle the absolute worst the so-called entertainment industry has to offer I give you Madonna, who explained her mock crucifixion, which is part of her current tour, as follows: “It is no different than a person wearing a cross or ‘taking up the cross’ as it says in the Bible. […] Rather, it is my plea to the audience to encourage mankind to help one another and to see the world as a unified whole.” And she added to that “I believe in my heart that if Jesus were alive today he would be doing the same thing.” (source)
