    Oooooooo, a Black Madonna. She's so edgy. Her references are off the scale. OOoooooo.

    Please, who hasn't heard of a Black Madonna. Give me a break. #madonnablackface

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Erm, anyone who hasn't studied Medieval art and religion, at a guess? It's not like you can pick up a six pack of them at the supermarket. I think she made a good call. #madonnablackface

    @jenrobe: Oh she undoubtedly made a good call. She just isn't OFF THE SCALE with her references. Anyone with a college degree (and a great many people without one) have heard of a Black Madonna, or at least know how to use Google well enough to find it. #madonnablackface

    Oh yes, Madonna is known for nothing if not her "off-the-Richter-Scale-references." Please enlighten me as to what the symbolism behind "Lucky Star" is, Madonna. Or even the super-profound lyrics "Nothing really matters/Love is all we need/Everything I give you all comes back to me"? I can't wait to have my mind blown. #madonnablackface

    I didn't realize Madonna actually had any filter for tastelessness or appropriating cultural/religious imagery. #madonnablackface

    "I painted my face black, except for red lips and white eyes."

    Oh honey, that's neither original nor difficult to get. #madonnablackface

    And here I was still trying to figure out what subtle and undoubtedly obscure references she was getting at with Hard Candy, the pink lollipop background and the crotch shot. Oh Madonna, I can't keep up! #madonnablackface

    If Madonna (!) decides the controversy isn't worth it, that's saying something. #madonnablackface

    "It happens all the time, because my references are usually off the Richter scale."

    Don't flatter yourself. Some of us "get it", we just don't like it. #madonnablackface

    @Highsmith: seriously. And here's a crazy concept sometimes shit can have more than one meaning ie. black Madonna and blackface. I mean...big red lips? sorry, but that is fucking offensive, I can't believe she'd even consider it. ass. #madonnablackface

    @bluebears: What I want to know is--does Steven Klein love blackface? Was it his idea or hers? Why is he the blackface go-to photographer? ???? #madonnablackface
