The ad for this "Hard Candy" cellphone is splashed on the bus stop's billboard next to my appartment...:puke: Seriously, I waited for my bus this morning standing next to the Venereal Girl, I hope I didn't catch any STDs!!!
Hey, if you wanted to cross-post that to the Vandalism thread, I would totally understand 
Madame Duran also had a good thread for that, "Every darn place I turn, there she is." The link escapes me at the moment.

I wanted to do an act of vandalism on this ad but I' m too civilized to really do it! Plus I know someone will eventually write some nasty thing on it, like it already happened when they put McDo's ads!

It's weird how people -fans and journalists- sit around patting Madonna on the back for doing all these corporate deals.
'Oh she's such a savvy business woman,' they chortle.
For the longest time, it was considered un-cool for a pop star to do this.
For the longest time, it was considered bad (especially by the younger folks) for pop / rock stars to go all commercial and snuggle up with corporations. Such rock stars were called "sell-outs," not "savvy business people."
But here is what really gets my goat.
If someone stuck a contract under your nose that read, "sign on the dotted line, and we will pay you X million dollars," would you sign it?
Of course you would.
That's not business savvy, that's common sense. That's human nature. It's a no-duh, no- brainer kind of thing.
I do no see where any business savvy comes into play there.

This just supports and proves what I've written before about how Madonna used to think that doing advertisments was beneath her (now that she's desperate, she doesn't seem to mind so much).
Madonna's Elephant Ad- Buy Complete Document: Abstract Abstract Full Text Full Text
Madonna's elephant ad
Abstract (Document Summary)
TONIGHT [Madonna] will appear in all her glory on the Academy Awards telecast, singing Stephen Sondheim's nominated ballad, "Sooner or Later," from "d*ck Tracy." Millions of fans and critics will catch this Oscar debut. What we won't get to see is Madonna wearing a sequined bathing suit, astride a huge elephant.
Now this was not something planned for the Oscar show. Madonna's pachyderm passion was dreamed up for the star's new Japanese TV commercial, which promotes a Nippon boutique. Madonna is one of a growing number of supernovae who will not appear in TV or print ads in the U.S. (fearing commercialism might tarnish luster) but willingly go East for big bucks.
Madonna collected a cool million for her efforts.
Rumor has it that as she perched on the aforesaid elephant, with a prop whip in her hand, pretending to flay the beast, she was asked to put more anger into it.
"Think about somebody you hate," said the director. Madonna thought a moment, and began shrieking "Robin Wright! Robin Wright!" (Robin Wright is the pregnant current love of Madonna's ex, Sean Penn.)

Notice that Madonna has not worn anything she's designed (or that was designed by other people for her but stamped with her name) for a long while now.
She had two stints with the H+M clothing store.
I believe it was after the second one that she at least made a token gesture of sometimes wearing the "M" sunglasses sold by H+M.
If you look at more recent photos, such as this one, she's not wearing the "M" glasses anymore.
She designed track suits for H+M, yet she doesn't seem to wear those in these photos we see of her going to her gym.
She is always wearing Ed Hardy or Von Dutch fashion lines to the gym. Shouldn't she be wearing the track suits she designed?
I guess H+M isn't selling her clothing line anymore (I dunno), so maybe it doesn't matter so much, but still, it seems kind of wrong.
You sit here and loan your name out to a clothing line and don't even wear it yourself, or, if you do, you wear one small piece from it (e.g., sunglasses) for maybe a month afterwards, and that's it.
It's a total rip-off.

^See post directly above this one, too.
She's still wearing those weird sunglasses with the loop design on the sides and not the H+M sunglasses that were designed for her a couple of years ago.
Up next... I adjusted the headline to add one word:
Madonna May Be The New Mummified Face Of Louis Vuitton's Spring 2009 Campaign- Nov 11, 2008
Word in the style industry is that the superstar has already been shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott -- which means some great looking shots of the singer.
Madonna will be following in the footsteps of Louis Vuitton "faces" such as Jeniffer Lopez, Scarlett Johannson and Uma Thurman.

Her legs look freakishly thin in the photo where her hand is resting on the chair.

Madonna's new Louis Vuitton ad campaign: hot or not?
Madonna’s Louis Vuitton Ads — FIRST LOOK - page has photos; scroll down to bottom of page to view more photos - Dec 4, 2008
Check out the new Louis Vuitton ads featuring Madonna in a smoky French bistro setting, as photographed by Steven Meisel.
After attending one of the Queen of Pop’s concerts in Paris, inspiration struck LV’s creative director Marc Jacobs for the label’s next fashion advertising campaign.
“I just blurted out, ‘I think we should do Madonna,’” Jacobs told WWD. “I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”
And the rumor about Madonna raking in $10 million for the campaign? “It’s very far away from that,” he assured.
Material model: Madonna plugs Louis Vuitton handbags - NY Daily News (page has pix
Excerpt:- The designer is creative director for Vuitton as well as chief of his own eponymous label. Jacobs says he was keen on landing the Queen of Pop after seeing her show the night before in Paris.
"I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy," he says.
Jacobs then pounded out a text to Madge on his BlackBerry, and within five minutes she replied "I'd love to."
The resulting photos, which will debut in fashion magazines by February, feature the music icon lounging around a smoky French-style brasserie.
"It's a big change from what we were doing. It tells a story," said Antoine Arnault, Vuitton's director of communications.
"This I think is an amazing coup, but more than that, there's real logic behind it. It's very linked to Marc's fashion show."
The Parisian theme echoes Jacob's spring Vuitton collection, perhaps a little too much.
"As cliché as they are, I love all these French references," he said.
"I still feel it looks like beautiful, gorgeous Madonna. Excepting the references and excepting the clichés, this still feels very today. And it didn't feel so much like a fashion shoot, it feels like portraits."

Here's another piece slamming Madonna (this thread might be merged later with another one, maybe the "old lady" thread, or the "corporate whore" thread).
Hey, this guy says the same thing I did in another thread- in the "She looks ugly, thread #2," I said I didn't think these Louis Vuitton Madonna photos would persuade anyone to run out and buy Louis Vuitton bags, and the author makes the same points below. 
Oh- for all the Madonna fans who whine, whine, whine that only a female, Madonna, gets picked on, this male author criticizes several males for their haggard, aged looks and/or for selling out: Bob Dylan, Johnny Rotten, Lou Reed, Roger Daltrey, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, and more.
Madonna and Louis Vuitton: time to give the commercials a break?- Posted By: Neil McCormick at Jan 7, 2009
Madonna in old bag shock.
So Madonna is the new face (or body, depending on how you look at it) of Louis Vuitton. After their Keith Richards campaign, it might appear the luggage manufacturers have a soft spot for musicians with skin that could be dried out and used to make one of their leather suitcases.
However, the campaign photographs (by Stephen Meisel, who collaborated on Madonna's infamous 'Sex' book, but not, funnily enough, on her series of instructive children's texts) are so fragrantly airbrushed the bendy fifty year old looks young (and badly dressed) enough to be her own wild child.
What is this all intended to say about the bags in question (the ones in Madonna's hands and heels, not airbrushed from under her eyes)? Louise Vuitton may be old, venerable and high maintenance but they are still flexible enough to take on a world tour?
Whatever. I couldn't afford Louis Vuitton anyway, and the appearance of the superannuated disco diva is unlikely to persuade me otherwise. But I don't suppose I am the target audience.
What really bothers me is the shameless way music stars take the advertising dollar.
Does Madonna really need to supplement her income with modelling fees (even fees in the reported millions)? And what does it say about the artistic value of the music she makes that she can be hired out to promote other brands?
We already know that film stars will prostitute themselves for anyone with the right budget. To me, nothing does more damage to George Clooney's credibility as an intelligent, politically engaged film-maker than his turns for Nespresso coffee.
But then a film star is always just a vehicle for someone else's dreams, whether it is a writer, producer, director or (as seems to be increasingly the case) parfumeur, fashion house or watchmaker.
But music stars are supposed to be different, because their art springs from inside them and is inseparable from them.
They thrive on artistic credibility, the sense that they do this because they have to, because it actually means something, and not because they are paid.
The irony being if they do it well enough to get our attention, we pay them very well indeed.
Certainly enough not to have to supplement their take home pay with cheques from M&S (stand up Bryan Ferry, Dan Gillespie-Sales and Take That) (on second thoughts, Take That can sit back down, we never believed in them in the first place).
Right now, Iggy Pop can be seen on British TV selling insurance.
I mean, I thought the whole point for someone like Iggy of getting into the music business was so he didn't have to grow up and sell insurance? He is not even selling insurance for, say, setting fire to hotel rooms or smashing TVs by throwing them out the window.
He's extolling the virtues of internet car insurance for Swift Cover.
Forget 'Lust For Life' this is plain old fashioned lust for money.
He jumps about semi naked, grinning, boasting he's got insurance on his insurance, and generally sucking it up for what used to be quaintly known as "the man". "Get a life!" he yells. Yeah, right. Then take insurance on it.
Johnny Rotten hammered the last nails in the coffin of his reputation as a free thinking iconoclast when he appeared in a series of ads for Country Life butter, trampling over any ideals he may have once espoused for the punk movement with the shameless glee of a money grubbing clown.
Yeah, punk was just a joke, John. And look whose laughing all the way to the bank.
There is nothing new in any of this, I know.
Alice Cooper can currently be seen in a Norwich Union ad.
We've had Roger Daltrey and Lou Reed promoting American Express.
Gap have had a parade of stars and starlets modelling their jeans. And Bob Dylan has been making mysterious appearances in ads for women's lingerie company Victoria Secrets (I am prepared to turn a blind eye to this on the grounds that Dylan obviously does things just to confuse fans who might mistake him for a deity).
But I really wonder why big music stars would ever consider a career in advertising.
These people are way past the point of making next month's mortgage payment. Can't they say no to anyone? Are they really that insecure? Or just plain greedy? Or bored?
I know I am just being a romantic, but the thing about music is that, as a listener, you have to be able to believe in it, and in order to do so you have to believe in the motivations of the person who creates it.
You have to believe it is coming from deep inside their soul. You almost have to believe its creation is a matter of life and death.
And when these so called artists (a title musicians increasingly claim) put themselves out for hire to big business, striking any pose for a fat pay cheque, expending the credibility we have invested them with to sell their fans stuff they don't really need, it has the danger of exposing their entire oeuvre as bereft of idealism or integrity.
Fans often wonder about the "message" of a favourite song. But what if its just a message from the artist's sponsor?

You know what's funny about all this? The idea of an artist making art for the sake of art itself---i.e. not for monetary gain, but for the sake of the creation--is a fairly new idea. It really did not exist until the 50's/60's. Every time I read about an artist selling out(in Madonna's case, this happens countlessly), I laugh. Music fans truly are pathetic if they think Madonna is some counterculture/feminist hero. Please! In all honesty, Madonna(in spirit) is like the artists of the old days who just made art to make money....oh, except for the fact she has no talent or anything to stand...I almost forgot that HUGE part

This has been cross-posted to the Sacrilegious Madonna Items, Acts, Remarks thread.
I commented on these stories below in the "Sacrilegious" thread rather than do so here. [Madonna] Pop song [Like A Prayer] rocked religious sensitivities
Madonma's Banned Advert - THE ADVERT: Madonna, singing Like a Prayer for Pepsi in 1989
THE SCHTICK: The cola wars in full swing, Pepsi wheeled out its big gun - the Queen of Pop - to perform her latest single
THE BREAKDOWN: It was, the TV voiceover promised us, not to be missed. The Material Girl was to put the fizz into Pepsi's campaign - for a fee of $5m.
The premiere of Madonna's Like A Prayer in a two-minute advert was notable enough to be reported on ITN's News At Ten, and ITV ran trailers advertising when it would be shown - 8.12pm on Thursday 2 March, 1989.
But within 48 hours of the much-hyped worldwide premiere, the company pulled the ad, and it was never screened again.
This was because influential church groups in the United States had threatened a mass boycott of Pepsi products, troubled by the Catholic-born star's ongoing flirtation with religious imagery.
The ad starts with Madonna watching black-and-white footage supposedly of her own eighth birthday party.
Then magically, the star and her younger self switch places. Mini-Madonna wanders around the singer's apartment, marvelling at posters of her adult self and finds the same doll she has been given as a birthday gift. The ad ends with grown-up Madonna telling her young self "go ahead, make a wish" - as they both drink Pepsi.
That slogan was intended to become as synonymous with Pepsi as "It's the real thing" is with rivals Coke. But the feelgood factor did not last long for its executives.
Within a couple of days came the second act in the drama. The video for Like A Prayer hit TV screens.
It opened with Madonna fleeing the scene of a rape. She runs into a church and prays before a statue of a saint, played by a black actor, before flashbacks reveal she witnessed the attack, carried out by a white man. But an innocent black man (the saint's double) is arrested.
There are burning crosses and Madonna suffers stigmata before heading off to put right this miscarriage of justice.
Within hours, American religious groups complained about the portrayal of Jesus Christ (as some viewers assumed the saintly character to be) as a black man being kissed by Madonna.
With MTV unlikely to ban the video, the groups tried a new tack - threaten to boycott Pepsi.
The campaign was promptly shelved. Twenty years on, a Pepsi spokesman says it was an unfortunate episode.
"While our commercial bore no resemblance to the video, many people who were offended by the video made no distinction between the two. We felt that the only appropriate step under the circumstances was to immediately stop airing the commercial."
Business decision
Ruth Mortimer, associate editor of Marketing Week, says that today there would be even more of a reaction.
"Religious groups know what they can achieve if they complain. Big companies in the States tend to be particularly sensitive in that area."
When it comes to celebrity advertising campaigns, companies buy into the star's image.
And when things go wrong for that person, it's time for a corporate rethink. Wrigley's chewing gum recently withdrew its adverts starring singer Chris Brown, who is facing assault charges.
Ms Mortimer believes Pepsi had little choice: "You have to weigh it up carefully, whether the complainants come from a group that are particularly likely to buy your brand.
"Pepsi is a very mainstream brand so it's quite difficult for them to do something edgy."
Since 1989, Pepsi has had more big-name celebrity endorsements (Britney, Beyonce and Beckham) while Madonna has fronted campaigns for companies as varied as Max Factor, BMW, Versace and Gap.
Clare Parmenter, of the Madonnalicious fansite, says Pepsi should have realised Madonna might be a controversial choice.
"She has become more famous for shocking people since then. It seemed like it was the start of her really pushing the boundaries."
So what happened to the other central figure in the drama - the black actor who played the saint and the innocent man?
Leon (who, like Madonna, eschews his surname) went on to star in Cool Runnings, Disney's 1993 film about Jamaica's bobsleigh team.
....He recalls: "I didn't want to do a pop video. I saw myself as a serious actor and all I knew of Madonna was her dancing around. But I was persuaded to meet the director and hear the concept."
He did not see the storyline as controversial. "I actually thought it was great for anyone who is religious. It shows Madonna witnessing an attack and then going to a church for guidance.
"I really think that Pepsi made a hasty decision, but it was their own money they were throwing away."

Disregard any virus warnings you get when visiting "Drowned Madonna."
I have researched this issue before, and as it turns out, it's THEIR site that has a problem - they do not have a virus that can get on your computer.
The problem resides on their end, and it won't spread to your machine.
Ignore the "virus" warning you get when visiting "Drowned Madonna"
Fan site posted this new photo - First pic from the new Luis Vuitton campaign (blog pg w pic, on Drowned Madonna) (just the picture (hosted on Drowned Madonna))
She doesn't even look real in that image; she looks like a wax figure. The graphic designer must've photoshopped the heck out of that photo.

Yes, board member "noone3" and I have gotten that same warning notice when visiting that site before; ignore it. It's their site that is infected, not your computer.
----EDIT----
Other sites are now carrying the photos, so if you're afraid to visit the Drowned Madonna link, try these:
Page has photo of Madonna in outfit: Madonna Sports Her Bunny Ears in New Louis Vuitton Ad- Louis Vuitton has unveiled their new photo for their current ad campaign starring Madonna. And while we’re obsessed with the bag, there’s a whole lot of wrong happening in the rest of the picture.
Madonna is featured lounging in a chair looking like she’s a doll who was created by some sort of science experiment. And to make matters worse, Madge is sporting those same awful bunny ears that she wore to last month’s Met Gala!
We can barely pull off feather headbands, and here she is with two big ears shooting out of her head! We can’t keep up!
Madge sports some funky-looking gloves that Rihanna would totally sport on a normal day of running errands. And last but not least, the red string Kabbalah bracelet is prominently featured on Madonna’s wrist.
Between Madge’s dead Barbie-eyed look, the airbrushing, and the headpiece, it’s hard to remember what the ad is even for. Nonetheless, we were able to get past it to focus on the gorgeous LV bag.
Has photo: Sneak peek: Is this Madonna's new Louis Vuitton A/W 2009-10 ad?
Madonna's New Louis Vuitton Ad Campaign
Following was cross posted to the "Corporate Shill" thread and "Scary hands" thread:
Madonna rolls back the years in new Louis Vuitton ad ... and even her fingers appear airbrushed- Madonna somehow always manages to hold the ageing process back, however for her latest campaign she seems to have turned back time.
But the lengths to which Louis Vuitton has gone to keep Madonna looking eternally youthful may be a bit extreme, with the Material Girl looking almost plastic in this latest ad.
In particular, the fingers of her right hand seem to have been stuck on - are they someone else's? Or just bleached to white through airbrushing?
View Louis Vuitton Man-donna Ad [their photo caption for above photo:] Material Girl Madonna looks airbrushed beyond belief in the latest Louis Vuitton
View "hands" photo (after being photoshopped)/ Hands, pre-photoshop Smooth and silky: Madonna's hands in the ad (left) looked remarkably different to her hands spotted out in London this week
Photo editors seem to have shaved at least 20 years off the megastar, leaving her looking more like Sophie Dahl than her true 50-year-old self.
In place of her typically veiny hands - renowned for giving away the true age of a woman - her fingers were smooth and slender.
It's almost impossible to believe this is the same model who was pictured leaving a London restaurant a little more dishevelled earlier in the week.
In the ad, Madonna looks ethereal as she reclines in a blue armchair were a burgundy taffeta dress, lacy fingerless gloves and pink bunny ears - similar to the antenna-style headwear she wore to the Costume Institute Gala earlier this year.
While Madonna is in undeniably good shape for a 50-year-old woman, she looks far too young to be a mother-of-four in the new shots for Louis Vuitton's Autumn/Winter '09 collection.
The Vogue singer posed for acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel, who shot her controversial 1992 book Sex, who also took the previous season's ad.
The latest campaign makes Madonna look a little more innocent than what has come before. The last Louis Vuitton advertisement in December was certainly more raunchy.
The singer has reportedly been paid £6.5million for the campaign.

This is an old story that was posted to the board a few months ago.
Madonna teams with Von Dutch Designer- Madonna's new clothing collection is for "seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds".
I'm posting it because of the "Madonna's new clothing collection is for "seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds" line. I thought that was rather strange.
Madonna doesn't appeal to anyone outside of people in their late 30s/40s and mostly homosexual males at that, so I don't see many 7 year old kids or senior citizens wanting to snap up anything having to do with Madonna.
Here's the rest of the article:- Madonna's new clothing collection is for "seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds".
The 50-year-old popstar is teaming up with French fashion designer Christian Audigier - who has an eponymous label and is also behind the Von Dutch and Ed Hardy labels - on a new range, and is determined to make it suitable for all age groups.
Christian told BANG Showbiz: "Madonna and I are working on a new project called The Material Girl Project and I'm going to be a partner with her on it.
"It's going to come out, in September, when it's back to school time. So we are working on different designs and samples right now, so we're going to have most of that done at the end of the summer.
"It's going to be for everyone, all ages. We're going for everyone, from seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds. We're not excluding anybody."
Christian - who is currently in London to launch his new range of champagne and wines - has been thrilled with the way the '4 Minutes' singer has thrown herself into the collaboration, claiming she is full of ideas and has a clear vision for the line.
He explained: "Madonna is a good choice because she comes into it a total pro. If I need to listen to music, then I go and see Madonna because she is the best, so this is the same thing.
"Does she have loads of ideas? Oh, of course. I had a meeting a month ago with her and she is really all about the detail. She knows exactly what she likes and is always proposing ideas to us. After that she decides whether she wants to add shoes or other things. She's like me, when it's a, 'Yes,' it's a big, 'Yes.' When it's a, 'No,' it's a definite, 'No!' I like people like that, a lot of people are really critical but never give a solution. She is not like that."

They still make that line? I remember that from ten years ago when i was 17. People with Von Dutch trucker hats and Von Dutch plastered in huge letters across the butt of their jeans. Uh, guess you do learn something new everyday.

I am strongly considering cross posting this to the "Obviously photoshopped" thread because she looks like a wax mannequin or plastic doll in these photos.

Has anyone seen the shoot? This has clips of the shoot itself. I couldn't see any grandma hands. I'm sure she put the video out herself.

I'll merge this thread with the 'Sell Out/ Corporate Whore' thread later, since that's where I posted the Louis Vuitton photos last week.

I'm guessing this is satire, but who knows:
Madonna Inks Endorsement Deal For Vaginal Pessaries- Madonna has reportedly inked a seven-figure endorsement deal with Hiltex, Inc., the world’s largest supplier of vaginal pessaries. A pessary is a small plastic or silicone medical device which is used for vaginal support and to offer a solution to incontinence and/or prolapse in older women.
“Madonna doesn’t want to slow down just because she’s over 50,” said Hiltex spokesperson Janet Lamar. “And nothing will slow you down faster than your well-worn uterus falling out on stage. That’s why Madonna only uses Hiltex brand vaginal pessaries, the pessary designed specifically for today’s older modern woman on the go.”
