madonna hacked
What goes around, comes around. Not that I agree with hacking necessarily, but when Madonna creates a rather feisty dummy mp3 file in an attempt to stop the new single American Life spreading via p3p networks, it’s pretty obvious what will happen next. Yep, someone hacked her website
making the single and various remixes available for download. D’oh.
Update: Or did they?
Further update: The cycle continues - Hong Kong based beat scientists Digital Cutup Lounge have a ‘remixed’ version of Madonna’s original dummy mp3 available for download. Reckon she’ll sue?

Pretty catchy remix! Especially the “Doin’..doin’.. doin’” bit. All it would take is for a couple of high-profile radio stations to ban it, and she’d have a huge hit on her hands. And then her marketing people could claim that it’s all actually Madonna’s own work, thereby boosting sales of the new album which is receiving some really brutal reviews.

So Mad Madge of the Madonna kind has set up a new Limited company in the UK called, of all things: Semtex Girls. Let’s face it, only a non-Brit without an understanding of recent British history would introduce the word “Semtex” into a company name, and if anyone was likely to put their dainty “plate of meat” into it — mad Madge was a prime candidate. Although you would have thought Guy could have had a word in her “shell” like!
Semtex, as any Brit over the age of 11 probably knows was the preferred “butchering device” of the infamous IRA. Semtex plastic explosive is manufactured in the Czech Republic and is safe to handle but difficult to trace, since it has no smell — unlike the controversial marketing stench wafting from Semtex Girls!
In fact, a quantity of 0.5 kg/1.1 lb of Semtex is thought to have been the cause of an explosion that destroyed a Pan-American Boeing 747 in flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, December 1988, killing 270 people.
Of course, everyone now wants to know the nature of Mad Madge’s new business. Apparently, she won’t reveal the exact purpose of her new venture but apparently issued the following incomprehensible marketing dribble to Contactmusic:
“The Semtex Girl is a girl who is dynamic, a girl who explodes, who doesn’t know the meaning of nine to five, a girl who is unstoppable and who doesn’t take no for an answer. And has excellent taste”.
Apparently Mad Madge also reassured her male fans (does she have any?) that they’re not exempt and can be Semtex Girls too! Presumably after surgery!
It’s been suggested that Madonna’s new Semtex Girls company could be a fashion brand. A number of commentators have suggested we could soon be seeing Semtex Girls Clothing, T-Shirts, Jackets and Jeans. Sounds a bit cheap and tacky.
So has Mad Madge finally lost her marbles and overstepped the accepted bounds of marketing BS. Most people could probably overlook her exploitation of Qabala to glean attention but to glamorise a substance which has been used to murder innocent civilians and could feasibly be used in the future by pseudo-Muslim terrorists to inflict mass murder is nothing less than spiritually retarded!

What someone decides to use the Qabala for is of no importance to Madonna’s spiritual journey. You can murder someone with a knife, but you can also save a life with it. We are given the tools. If someone decides to abuse them, that has no bearing upon the system, being neutral as it is. Don’t knock the tools without a study of them yourself. From where you stand you cannot possibly see the truth and understand the joy that accompanies pure knowledge. You make mistakes by judging Madonna, or anyone for that matter.
