Madonna recently compared online song leaks from her new album to rape and terrorism , generating her usual bit of controversy in the process. But that was apparently just the appetizer to a full-on meal of outrage the legendary artist has gone on to spark this week. In a series of Photoshopped Instagram pictures to promote her CD, “Rebel Hearts,” Madonna seemingly likened herself to Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela by superimposing her album artwork on to their faces. “This #rebelheart fought for freedom!” Madonna captioned the photo of Mandela, adding of Dr. King: “This #rebelheart had a dream.” The use of such icons as a tool of music promotion has stirred up anger among many Twitter followers. “This is pure stupidity,” wrote one user, whole another told the artist to “grow up” and another posed a question question: “Bitch what the f—k?” In a more eloquent critique, another “beate_abbey” wrote the following: “To lessen Mandela’s and Dr. King’s achievements as far as making their faces involuntarily a part of a marketing campaign for some irrelevant pop music is just a huge perception disorder. I’m already unnerved by all this pictures with strings in people’s faces. This despair is such a cringe factor. It’s a pity.” 10 Controversial Photos of Madonna 1.
