Madonna's Adoption Flak

October 19, 2006 | ISSUE 42•42

Critics of Madonna's decision to adopt a Malawian orphan are accusing the pop star of choosing the child like one would choose "a handbag." What do you think?

It's only right that the boy should be raised by whomever can provide him the best faux-British life.

Goddamn it, are there no celebrities left I can depend on to be totally selfish with their wealth?

Tony Martini

Why is everyone acting like Madonna is this impetuous flake who constantly changes her look, follows trendy religions, and performs provocative acts for the sake of cheap publicity?
