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.

Gay Artist Posts Photo Response To Racist Dasha Zhukova Photo via Huffington Post gay artist from Russia has created a flipped image in response to the controversial photo of Garage magazine’s white, female editor-in-chief sitting on a “black woman” chair. The Russian editor-in-chief of Garage magazine, Dasha Zhukova, came under fire for an editorial photo showing her seated atop a chair designed to look like a black woman with a belt around her waist and thighs and her legs up in the air. The photo, which offended many, began circulating on Monday, Jan. 20, which was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Zhukova eventually apologized and called the decision to appear with such a racially insensitive piece of art “regrettable.” She also reasoned that designer Bjarne Melgaard’s actual intent was a “commentary on gender and racial politics.” But, some did not find the apology sufficient. Alexander Kargaltsev, a gay New York City-based photographer and gay activist, decided to stage his own response to the “outrageous and tasteless” portrait with an image of a naked black man seated on a naked white man, whose legs are folded up to create a “chair.”
