Madonna Won't Be Crucified on National TV

NBC finally decided they really didn't want the blowback that was sure to come from showing Madonna hanging on a cross:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After weeks of controversy, NBC has decided not to show pop star Madonna suspended from a giant cross and wearing a crown of thorns when the network airs a special of her "Confessions" tour, a source close to the organization of the event said on Thursday.

The source spoke after NBC announced it had revised the two-hour concert special, which airs November 22, but did not elaborate on what changes would be made.

Since the show will air on November 22, Madonna still has a chance to be controversial. Maybe she could show herself being gunned down in Dallas' Dealey Plaza.
