Madonna Uses Paris Terrorist Attack To Promote Album
In the wake of the horrific, fatal attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, many celebrities, especially comedians, have shown their support for the fallen journalists and police officers killed on Wednesday.
Madonna commented by offering her support, but with a strange, undermining addendum: she posted the wide-spread image that says “Je Suis Charlie,” but for some reason tagged the photo #rebelheart after the name of her new album.
It’s departure from the tone of other celebrities’ messages. None of them felt the need to refer to their own projects.
It’s hard to not see this as Madonna exploiting a tragedy to promote her own album.
The singer posted another photo and also tagged it #rebelheart. It’s uncomfortable, inappropriate, and all around weird. Madonna has been aggressive in the promotion for her new album,
but I am surprised that she didn’t realize — or no one advised her — that in the wake of such a senseless attack, self-promotion is definitely prohibited.
The wake of a tragedy is no time for self-promotion.
