You can't blame a vampire for being a vampire


Frankly I blame our morally bankrupt society


Or bad taste

You too can be a whore. Sunsilk is not just for American whores, Sunsilk has inspired whores in 60 different nations, giving them that freshly spunked on look that so defines the the wide world of whoredom. Now even if you are prim and proper, you too can be a whore, just like the world's most famous whore, Madonna Ciccone.

Yeah, like I'm really going to buy their crapola after it's been given the bimbo seal of approval.

She's got musical talent...just keep her off the big screen.

She just has to start touring again. you can't be successful without touring or a sex tape. One or the other please.

She has a net worth of over $330M. I doubt she's doing it for the money.

What is the woman, like almost 70? The fact she has a career with the longevity it has had at all in this love 'em and leave 'em pop culture world is pretty damn impressive.

Oh, and I am not really a fan of her music.

Wrong subby. Her current work finally matches her skill set after years of imbalance.



//Frankly, Cindy Lauper has a better music catalog.

I don't think commercial jingles equates "sunk so low". I remember many childhood jingles fondly, and they definitely have more staying power in the brain than most pop music.

If you wanna play the game, you gotta think of the name, and get the most marbles with your hippoooooooooh...

Madonna is the richest female singer in the world, and one of the richest self-made women in the world ... with an estimated net worth of over $850 million. Her wealth is closer to $850m USD than the reported $665m. Reports about her wealth vary from programme to programme, but once all is considered, including personal wealth, real estate, and her Maverick studios earnings, Madonna just may be a billionaire herself... if not today, then very shortly in time. In 2004 alone, she earned more than $50 million with her Reinvention Tour. Rolling Stone reported that she was worth more than $613 million dollars back in 00, and that was before her Drowned World Tour, Reinvention Tour, and The Confessions Tour. Some reports get their figures about $613 million. "On ABC's 'Life Of Luxury' which aired on Dec. 13th 00 Madonna was named the richest female artist with an estimated fortune of $613,000,000.

The new "Guinness Book of Records" names U.S. pop star Madonna as the highest paid female singer in the world. Madonna reportedly earned about $50 million in 2004 alone, which became a new record for a female singer

Whatever you think of her music, it is undeniable that she is a consummate businesswoman. Commercial jingles are the sort of thing one might do to fill the gaps in an otherwise strong financial portfolio.

Apparently submitter has no idea how the commercial industry nor the music industry works.

Whats your point subby? I've seen Jessica Simpson and Justin Timberlake (I think it was) both doing infomercials (sp?) and they are about half her age. I'd say both of their careers, whatever you think of them, are doing okay.

/Not a fan of either of them. Rather listen to Madonna actually. Least she had some talent in her prime. 25 years ago she was hot.

I agree. I think it's cool, especially that in this day and age, the original commercial jingle has become an endangered species.

Licensing a pop song from years ago for your commercial...now THAT'S cheesy.

Your career is only low if your BROKE, and are writing commercial jingles.

As much dough as she has she could have zero career and would care less I'm sure. She'd still be rich and famous.

Uh madonna is old and rich. Stop calling what she does a career. It's a lifestyle where she can do whatever the fark she wants.

Her career never sunk. She just finished it ages ago. Whereas subby's gonna need a career for the rest of his dumbass life.

Better than those Teela O'Malley recordings all the infrareds blast throughout the sector. Wish The Almighty Ultraviolets or The Computer would do something about that.

You know why that pic was hot? Because you can't see her face or her hands and arms (or her vagina, probably, which must look like a half-chewed sandwich from Arby's).

Madonna's most recent album sold 8 million copies, and her most recent tour was the highest-grossing ever for a woman. She sets new records pretty much every time she does anything. This, after an already phenomenal 25-year career. I'd say your little dig is about as poorly placed as it could be, submitter.

She still sucks. Not submitter.

In a similar vein to Madonna, Seinfeld's career has sunk so low, all he does now is write commercials for "Bee Movie," have sex with his much younger wife on a non-stop basis, and swim naked through swimming pools filled with green paper.
