I had heard something about this "company" of hers before, where it was reported that she would not say what kind of business they intended to conduct. What I am hearing thus far smacks of a Heidi Fleiss-type publicity stunt... |

"Semtex is a general-purpose plastic explosive. First made by the Semtin Glassworks (then called VCHZ Synthesia, now called Explosia) in the former Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Used in commercial blasting, demolition and in certain military applications; its notoriety is due to its popularity with terrorists because it was, until recently, extremely difficult to detect, easily obtained, and as little as 250 g could down an airliner (312 g [11 oz] as in the case of Pan Am Flight 103)." More about Semtex explosives here. |

I saw this news story a week or more ago but didn't post it because it looked so weird or boring, and didn't seem to have much anti-Madonna potential (i.e. not much for us to laugh at). I also wondered how true it was - maybe it was just made up by some bored tabloid writer, or else it was just a stupid p.r. stunt cooked up by Madonna's people, more reasons I didn't jump to post about it. Since this has popped up in the news again, though, here are some more links...

my thoughts are if she knows what the name stands for, then she certainly knows she's stealing it...duh Such a sense of entitlement, no wonder Semtex doesn't want hagdonna assossiated with it... The woman has no morals. Let's hope she doesn't further insult our intelligence by coming up with some phony noble cause, like she's doing it for the girls...GAG |

Semtex Article A fun article about Skank's cheesy marketing campaign for whatever Semtex Girls is, and yes, Semtex is still pursuing their lawsuit for stealing their copywrited brand name. Surprise, surprise. I liked this author's take. Remember when she was "controversial" on her Reanimation Tour and claimed that there is no difference between Bush and Hussein? Same thing with Skank. To make money off an explosive used by terrorists to murder innocent people puts her right up there with the terrorists themselves. Since it is or was a fave explosive of the IRA, she no doubt knows about it since she's "British" now. It was also used to blow up the plane over Lockerbie, Scotland. Her silly marketing line says that "The Semtex Girl is explosive." Well, isn't that a coincidence? Let's make money now from death and murder. I guess she's tired of making money from plagiarized music, so let's get it from terrorist acts. How spiritual... |

Next up from Madonna: a new fragrance called Zyklon B. A restaurant chain called Kaposi's (it's the AIDS-related cancer.) A new clothing line for young males called NAMBLA Boyz. |

Oooooohhhhh..... (especially the last one)Do you think she'd make Rocco wear a t-shirt with the NAMBLA Boyz logo? Or try to be even more outrageous by getting Lourdes to wear one (you know, the whole gender bender thing she used to be so fond of)? Reminds me of the old Michael Jackson joke: Q: Why did Michael Jackson go shopping at JC Penny's? A: He heard that boys' pants were half off. Lady Chadwick wrote, I know. She's still depraved - and hypocritical. |

Real classy. Smile as you advertise an explosive. Grin as your wheels turn and you hope to rake in the cash from being controversial. Smirk as you think of Trailer B. Hubby at home picking up toys while you tour the world again. Bankrupt him since it won't matter as he signed a pre-nup and a waiver that he will never tell the truth about you. Laugh that faked laugh as you look down your snipped nose like we're peon idiots, as this is what you're learning in your spirituality classes. Keep making a joke out of war, terrorists devices, religions, children's literature, marriage and family, pornography, degradation of women, and plagiarism. It'll come back to hit you. Man this smirk makes me sick. She is a piece of talentless filth. |

At the same time, this b*tch probably is totally incapable of enjoying anything just for the sake of it. If she hears a song on the radio, right away she's most likely thinking, "Who is this? Are they popular? How can I become associated with them? Is their producer/songwriter/mixer hot stuff right now?" I imagine it's the same way with movies and videos. And when she asks poor Lolita about her day at school, "Oh, someone mentioned Shakespeare in class today? Oh, I simply must put that on a list of things to mention in my next interview! It so makes you look just as intellectual and precocious as me..." |

~~ EDIT BELOW ~~Sorry if I mentioned this earlier - but the word "Semtex" sounds like the name of a brand of condoms. I at first thought maybe The Venereal Girl was trying to get in on that business. ~~ EDIT ~~ Aw, too bad- Czech explosives-maker defuses legal row with Madonna - Monsters and Critics.com Excerpts: |
