Subject: Madonna blames organizers Madonna blames organizers for her off-color remarks at London art awards Madonna, who has proven before that she likes a good controversy, has continued to be a target since using profanity on live TV while presenting a prestigious art award in London. Now the singer is swinging back at her critics, blaming those who were presenting the prize for making her mad enough to swear, according to BBC radio. The event was called the Turner Awards. It honored new British art. As Madonna handed out the prize she used an expletive. The TV censors failed to catch the unexpected phrase, and it was aired live in the U.K. The TV network later apologized to viewers, but not Madonna. In an interview in the U.S., she has blamed the organizers for her off-color remarks and says she still has no regrets. The pop diva says that those behind the awards tried to control her remarks, which was only asking for trouble: "They wanted me to give them a copy of my speech before I went on and I said 'no, I'm not going to.' So they kept trying to get the information out of me in really unclever ways. And I got pissed off with them." Madonna decided the organizers had no sense of humor. She says it got her so worked up, she just had to let rip: "They said 'How would I like to be introduced?' and I said 'Mrs. Ritchie.'" "They said. 'Oh no - we can't do that because everyone knows you as Madonna.'" "I mean it was ridiculous." She added: "And then they said at the end, 'We hope and pray that there's no profanity in your speech.'" "Of course, I did take that as an invitation, and I said it and I felt much better afterwards." -- ※ Origin: 交大機械工廠 ◆ From: h148-203-70-85.seed.net.tw
