Madonna continued convincing the young people how cool she is by using the word “fuck” during a live television performance in England over the weekend. “Fuck,” if you haven’t heard, is a word all the kids these days are saying because it shocks and offends the old folks and the squares. The Sun reports

The singer used the f-word twice during the Radio 1 Big Weekend gig live on BBC3, BBC HD and Radio 1. Holding an S&M-style cane, she [said]: “You guys are going to have to start [fucking] it up out there [because] I need to feel some love. I’m going to do an old song. But not too old. [Fuck] the present. Let’s live in the past.”

Radio 1 apologised on Saturday, saying: “An incredible performance… that said, a quick apology for those people who might have felt the content offensive.” The BBC later confirmed they did receive complaints.

So, did the young folks buy it? Not so much. The Daily Mail said

In a savage review The Times wrote she was “sterile” and “soulless” resembling “an embarrassing auntie desperately trying to be hip”.

Going to a Madonna concert now would be like being invited to dine at the Hall of Justice. Sounds good in theory. Only when you actually get to the Hall of Justice, you discover you’re stuck at a table in the corner with Hawkwoman and the Blue Beetle instead of anybody cool. And the whole time Hawkwoman is arguing that she can so digest fur and bones and the Blue Beetle keeps blathering about the importance vitamins and yelling “Bwah-ha-ha!” every five minutes. You’re be better off just staying home.
