MADONNA: CHARGES DISMISSED

Just to remain fair and balanced, it's not just the Muslim community that tries to curb freedom of expression:

Amsterdam prosecutors said they had decided not to press charges against US singer Madonna for blasphemy in relation to a concert she gave in the Dutch capital in September.

The youth wing of the orthodox Christian SGP had applied for the singer to be charged.

A scene in her act in which Madonna wears a crown of thorns and is raised on a cross during the song 'Live to Tell' caused offence across Europe during a tour last year.

Three thoughts:

1. Well, they used the courts.

2. It reminds me of this affair.

3. 'Live to Tell' is one of Madonna's weaker songs, I still prefer 'Holiday' but that could be of form of warped 80s nostaglia.

Question: Whoever said the Dutch were godless?
