To prove that Kabala-adherent Madonna is the "good christian lady" she claimed to be to the father of her newly-adopted baby, she caved into right-wing Christian blackmail.
According to the Guardian,
"The evangelical Christian right notched up a victory yesterday when the NBC television network decided to cut a crucifixion scene from footage of a Madonna concert to be broadcast next month.
"The five-minute scene, filmed during the singer's recent Confessions world tour, shows her strapped to a glittering crucifix made of mirrors like those of a disco ball. She wears a crown of thorns as she sings her 1986 anthem Live to Tell.
"NBC declined to explain its decision to remove the shots from its Madonna broadcast on November 22. November viewer ratings are particularly sensitive as they determine how much US television companies can charge for adverts.
"Leading the outcry was the American Family Association based in Tupelo, Mississippi, an evangelical group which campaigns for 'traditional moral values'. It alerted its 3 million subscribers, who in turn bombarded NBC with 850,000 angry emails. The group also targeted NBC affiliated broadcasters, and advertisers. 'We told them if they had any sense at all they wouldn't sponsor Madonna mocking Jesus Christ on national TV,' said the group's president, Tim Wildmon."
