MCCAIN CAMPAIGN SORTA PEEVED ABOUT HITLER COMPARISON "John McCain's campaign hit back at Madonna on Sunday after the pop diva kicked off her world tour with a concert that bracketed the US presidential candidate with Adolf Hitler. McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe. 'The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time,' Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News. … Madonna's apparent swipe at McCain came during a performance of the song 'Get Stupid', when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe."
Now, usually we love multimedia art and progressive politics, but leave it up to increasingly annoying legend Madonna to combine the two in such a ham-handed, pointy-breasted way that it makes us shake our heads, sigh and reconsider our views on censorship.
Madonna, who turned 50 this month, kicked off her Sticky & Sweet Tour on Saturday night at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The BBC reported that the two-hour show took a political turn when, in a lead-in to a remixed version of “Like a Prayer,” a video sequence showed flashing images of destruction followed by pictures of Hitler, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and then Senator John McCain.
Later, footage of Barack Obama was interspersed among images of Gandhi and John Lennon.

Drugs and alcohol: making people do stuff they probably shouldn't since forever.
A German paper – yes, ze stoic Germanz are celebrity-obsessed, too! – is reporting that quirky junkie Pete Doherty openly consumed drugs and alcohol at a recent performance in Spain before ending his set with a good old-fashioned Nazi salute (pictured). Heyo!
Doherty's mother is half Jewish, so we assume he's being ironic, but who knows? Our brother once did so much acid he thought he was a spider going down the drain, causing him to violently yank down the shower curtain and weep and weep. Perhaps Petey really thought he was Goebbels with a guitar.
By the by, the paper titled this photo "Pete Doherty Hitlergruss." (Translation appreciated.)
We hate sports, and we hate Nazis even more, so why a video focusing solely on those two things is hilarious to us we have no idea, but it is. Enjoy.

Will Smith, Hollywood's most innocuous black male, has effectively destroyed all presumptions about his boring nature with some new comments regarding Adolf Hitler.
Smith told a Scottish paper that Hitler "didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' … I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'"
Jiggy!
We don't think Smith is necessarily wrong, but some people find Hitler, say, controversial (and by "some people," we mean many, many people, especially Jewish leaders).

Shoving my way through the streets of New York last evening, I saw a Hitler, a freshly dead Robert Goulet and a gent in a suit with a blow up doll tied to him in such a way that gave the impression it was giving him oral sex. The most common bad costumes were the "sexy" ones worn by hairless jocks; the ones the costumees try to pass off as silly, but which are actually just an excuse for them to bare delts, pecs and bis to a generally indifferent crowd. They're terrible because they're the costume equivalent of lying, and they're never funny. These costumes include: baby, pimp, marathoner, wrestler, woman, gladiator and caveman. (Hunter S Thompson and droogies are boring-ass layups, too, but for different reasons.)
All those: terrible, indeed. But last night – and every Halloween prior – I've winced at nothing harder than the "ethnic" characters; those fossilized costumes bobbing among the rest that the wearer describes as "Jewish" or "black." One would think as a society we'd collectively be over race as a costume, and yet every year oblivious turds pull out the shoe polish and continue to sap my faith in the educational system.
The dipshits in Maroon 5 had both sexy dudes and blackface guys at their party last night. Thanks for groping and jive talkin' the fun out of Halloween, privileged white men.

The results are in, and according to Mollygood's intense sociological polling, the majority of you would rather have people believe you support your child's Nazism (Adolf Hitler, 239 votes) than have people believe you support their interest in Perez Hilton (232 votes), Chris Crocker (28 votes) or Michael Vick (72 votes).
Among the most interesting write-in votes:
• perez hilton
• anything but whats listed above
• pete wentz's broken ugly foot
• jason alexander
• stupid-ass cord jefferson
• Pumpkin

Unless you're playing Hitler, is a mustache really "getting into the part"?
More hirsute Bloom after the jump.
