This Was Controversial In 1989

OH, AND MADONNA WAS STILL HOT, TALENTED

FITSNews – February 27, 2008 – Since people are always talking about how controversial (and hot) we are, we figured we’d post this video to remind everybody what controversial was 20 years ago. Seriously, “Like A Prayer” cost Madonna a Pepsi commercial or something like that, basically because a bunch of rednecks in South Carolina who handle snakes and hate black people said they weren’t going to drink Pepsi anymore unless they fired her.

We don’t drink Pepsi because it sucks, people, but that’s another story (editor’s note: hollaback, Coca-Cola). Of course, Madonna herself pretty much started sucking in the late ’90s, too. Well, with one noteable lip-locking exception.

Anyway, while we were interviewing Bill Rogers over at the S.C. Press Association for our latest controversial bombshell, we shifted gears briefly to ask him when “new media” like FITSNews would be invited to partake of the rarified air that is official journalism-dom. And while Rogers couldn’t give us a precise date, he did say “it’s coming.”

Times change, people. Just think, when Madonna was being stalked with pitchforks by S.C. Freewill Baptists in overalls two decades ago, the Internet was just a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye. Who knows where we’ll be two decades from now, but here’s hoping lasers and full frontal will somehow be involved.
