Overheard on Madonna’s “SEX�

“Is there anybody

out there who still

wonders what she looks like?�

“This is just stills

from her video!

For $50, what a

rip-off. You could

just watch TV.�

“Madonna’s people

may be marketing

geniuses, but god,

they sure don’t know

how to make books.

This is more

rinky-dink than the

spiral notebooks we

used to carry to

school.�

“Doesn’t she

have enough money?�

“Have you ruined society?�

Ten years ago this would’ve

been unheard of, now we’re

bored by it.�

“Who’s the photographer?�

It looks like the poor man’s

version of that Calvin Klein ad.�

“The only person I’d

want to see naked in

here is Big Daddy

Kane, and he looks

like he’s not even

enjoying; himself.�

“Every culture needs

two wings to fly, and

with Jesse Helms

dominating our right

for so long it was

only a matter of

time before someone

like Madonna would

come along to exploit

our left.�

“Ah, well,� sighs a

harried bookseller.

“It’ll be lots

of money anyway.�
