No Mercy for Madonna
April 21, 2009
Madonna has announced she is appealing the decision not to let her kidnap another African child.
The singer’s plea to get her bony-fingered clutches on the little girl, Mercy, will be heard by three Supreme Court judges in Malawi on May 4.
She doesn’t get it, does she?
So let me help:
The reason you’ve been refused permission, Madge old girl, is the following:
1) The moment your recent divorce came through, you jumped straight into bed with a 22 year old dumb-eyed model from Brazil called ‘Jesus.’ Which given you are 50 is as embarrassing as it is inappropriate behaviour for a parent seeking an adoptive child.
2) You’re a bit of a loony, aren’t you? The crazed daily three-hour gym sessions, kabbalah nonsense, macrobiotic diet, banning kids from eating sweets and watching TV, going to bed in plastic body-suits to ‘prevent the ageing process.’ Just all indicative of unsound mental stability.
3) That sickening, suspiciously ‘airbrushed’, publicity photo you released of you and Mercy last week, in a pathetic attempt to manipulate public opinion, summed it all up. This poor kid’s just another PR opportunity for you, isn’t it? Another shameless little fashion accessory for the fading Madonna brand.
4) On stage, you’re foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed, aggressive, and prone to increasingly unedifying stripping. Not great, ‘Mom’, is it?
I urge those Malawi judges to stay firm, say no, and teach this horrifically self-obsessed, selfish and boorish Pri-Madonna that there really are some things you just can’t buy.

As a fan of Madonna’s music, even am astounded with her atrocious behaviour in the past few years. She certainly does not show signs or creates an impression of a good parent. Guess, people should understand and start realising that celebrities like Madonna or in fact most of them adopt kids to increase their fame wanting to be in the limelight always. Strongly believe, people should adopt kids when they can not produce due to biological reasons and not for anything else. In my opinion and all honesty, Madonna is getting sick by the day. It is also a shout to all the celebrities to have kids of their own and not adopt kids to better their celebrity status.

Whether or not she does 3 hour gym sessions and sleeps with Jesus isn’t really the issue. She simply isn’t adhering to their laws, so
why should she be able to bypass them just because she’s rich and famous?

The point is not to berate Madonna; God has grace for each of us. But no child needs to be subjected to this nonsense. Thanks for taking a stand.

My oh my, Piers! I don’t think anyone could have summed up this mess more eloquently than you! I’m so sick and tired of hearing madonna cry about it being so hard for her. BOO HOO! This poor girl, Mercy has a father who loves her and is perfectly capable of taking care of her! Now please do everyone a favor and GO AWAY cry baby!

Dear Piers,
No too much mercy for you either! Please shake off that machismo out of your gorgeous body! How can you label as ‘embarrassing’ the fact that a woman in her 50’s beds a 22 years old male? Then women should say the same about all the men who bed younger females?
Just as a little joke about it, please let me tell you that the only difference between 22-50 and 50-22 is a mathematical rule stating that 22 go into 50 more times than 50 go into 22. ☺ ☺ ☺ !!!
However I do totally agree with you in the mental insanity of this woman, and I hope she is unsuccessful in her appeal for adopting that child. She is no role model for anyone; at least for anyone whose brain is still operative.

PR opportunity is good. So is leach-craft (from Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers). She has no more fame of her own so she performs leach-craft. How refreshing to read something decent, real and honest. I’ll vote yes, I agree with today’s rant!

I sincerely hope the judges hold firm to the position to refuse her adoption of Mercy. We need good parent role models, not people who act like they are above the law. Thanks for saying it how it is.

even when i was a little girl i have heard about the negative things about madonna and i am proud to say that i have never been a fan of madonna… allowing her to adopt a child is a crazy idea. she was and is not a good model to all moms out there. i agree with pier’s ideas and opinions.

Piers:
Don’t you think you’re being a little harsh with Madonna. It’s always possible you may be wrong regarding Madonna’s motive for adoption. As for her 22-yr.-old “Jesus”; maybe you should not be so self-righteous and judgemental. I’m a 69-yr-old woman and I think you’re a doll. But that doesn’t make me some kind of a pervert. All gets back to Susan Boyle’s, “I had a dream”. You have everything going for you. Maybe you need to learn to be a little more tolerant of others’ desires and wishes. I am not a Madonna fan. But I do applaud her success. And I do hope your dinner invitation to Susan Boyle was not just a “ploy” for publicity. You see, it works both ways!

The only thing I applaud about The Madge is that she can be arsed to go to the gym for three hours everyday, silly cow.

Wow! I’m impressed to read how much stuff u know about ppl u don’t like!
(well… that’s probably why u can say u do not like them, indeed…).
I didn’t know all that s**t about Madonna… But the more ppl earn money, the more crazy stuff they do, coz they do not know what to do with all this money! They just need to entertain themselves…
I totally agree with ur point about her, yet, I like the music she does…

The U Tube release of the programme has certainly had me watching & listening time and time again.
I wish Susan luck both in her career and life.
On the issue of the daily rant…. I thought it was be a video clip everyday. Watching Piers jumping up and down.
Can’t wait to read
.. prefer to watch his reaction to the Budge. Who know perhaps he’ll give us a mixture.

Hi Piers,
Perhaps you can do the right thing to sort out Britain’s problem, by being elected… How does that sound? Perhaps a new career for you.
Madonna “the material girl” is not the purest thing on the planet, in my opinion, but it’s her life and perhaps noone should no prejuge or juge her.
Just like noone should have prejuged Susan Boyle before giving her the chance to be heard.
Hope you’ll have a great date. Please write about it later.
Best regards

Come on Piers a daily rant is a daily rant. Mind I would have preferred the visual !!
But what about this week?
What about the budget
What about the night out with Susan??
Come share, share share

Dear Mr. Morgan, I find your comments quite exciting, as all the rest you do. Don’t know quite why, I kinda trust your judgement, you do make a difference. Priviliged to thank you.

Mr. Morgan, your candor is not only refreshing but highly entertaining as well. The rant on Heather Mills was simply splendid.
And while I would point out that I think that your girlfriend/fiancee is too young for you, I definitely think Madonna needs to stop trying to fossilize herself and simply be genuine, warm and (forbid the thought) accessible to the children that she already has.

Though I quite have taken a liking to you, Piers, based mostly on your reaction to Susan Boyle. Here’s my opinion on each point in your anti-Madonna rant.
1. do we really know Madonna had sex with Jesus? do we care? I, personally don’t think she did, but if she did, it’s not either of our businesses.
2. her exercise, diet and religion are squarely in the realm of ‘not our business’ too. as for her teacher her children to lay a bit off the candy and TV. That’s pretty good parenting. I don’t watch any TV and I’m not missing anything. As for ‘plastic anti-aging suits’, I don’t know anything about those… I wonder if they are comfortable to sleep in, what’s the rationale for them and how much they retail for.
3. photo of Mercy: or she could have fallen in love with the child on sight and wants to do everything in her power to give her a better life.
4. on-stage behavior: if she had actually stripped off her clothes to nakedness, it would be plastered all over news and tabloids. you should know because you worked at one, no? alas, no naked pics of madonna in the news.
Chill out with the aging pop goddess. She’s got a good heart and you’d likely enjoy having tea with her more than you imagine.
Go Susan!

Old news, I know but everyone is so busy denouncing Madonna’s motives, she seems to be a good mother, and more to the point, what about the fate of Mercy, while everyone is celebrating Madonna was told ‘No’, no one actually questions the fate of the little girl left in the orphanage to rot. Is she better off?

here here, it’s so refreshing to hear someone else voice opinions that i also believe:)
I have never been a big fan of Madonna, having never been one for watching women baring all and throwing themselves around stages in every sexy pose imaginable; all this whilst claiming to be touched for the very first time…i decided that i thought not at the time and chose the rather more clear cut reputations of Rick Astley and Patrick Swayze who graced my walls as a teenager lol. As for her failed attempts to make a come back she needn’t have bothered, watching her cavort around a dance floor in a skimpy leotard at her age is enough to make any sensible woman cringe.
I can honestly say that i too hope they don’t let her adopt anymore children with whom she can flaunt herself as a perfect mother whilst depriving them of some of the very things that make a childhood precisely that, i e sweets and TV both in moderation and monitored of course!!!

What’s wrong with adopting a child from your own country? We have so many children who go to sleep hungry in this country, wear torn, worn out clothes, left alone for hours, and are virtually at the mercy of pedifiles, rotten parents, or simple depravation. America may be this so called land of honey, but for many children, it is the land of horrors.

Dear Mr Morgan
It seems to me that Madonna has reached the Middle Age Crisis. With her bizarre behavior, it is going beyond everybody’s expectations. In our 40s our world turns around and we want a new car, a new house, a new man, but new children - this is going beyond the limit. In my opinion, she should get middle aged counselling as soon as possible. Maybe her next crisis is going to make her change her gender completely.
PS. With all the money she has, she wants to buy Heaven too, that is the reason for why she chose a boyfriend called Jesus. Well, maybe her Jesus is already showing her Heaven on Earth and she is singing Like a Virgin!lol

Great Post. You find most blog posts littered with rubbish nowadays,
however this has been a very informative post.
