Madonna on M.I.A. Middle Finger: Out of Place, Childish

by at .

Add Madonna to the list of those who thought M.I.A.'s actions during halftime of Super Bowl XVLI were stupid and childish.

A few days after she anchored a mostly positively-reviewed show, The Material Girl called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest and reacted to M.I.A's action as follows:

"I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it.

"I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity, it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager... irrelevant thing to do.. here was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point?"

In a separate interview, Madonna later told Carson Daly that M.I.A. did call her to apologize, but the iconic artist concluded of the action:

"It was just out of place."

    Has Madonna forgotten what she used to do at M.I.A's age? I believe she appeared to masturbate on stage at one of her concerts. She was in her thirties then. How "teenager" was that!! Now she finds in her heart to chastise someone else.

    If anyone deserved a flaw in her own show- its Madonna.

    So Madonna is trying to chastise another person for pulling "vulgar" antics JUST like Madonna is used to doing... yeah, hypocrisy at its finest.
