'Green' Means Money, Not Environmentalism to Madonna
Fox News.com ^ | 7/6/07 | Roger Friedman

Madonna had better clean up her business before she starts cleaning up the world.

The Material Mom is the headliner at tomorrow night's Live Earth show from London's Wembley Stadium. But guess what? For her, the word green means money, not the environment.

Madonna, who seems to be on top of all her many business endeavors, has actually invested about $2.7 million dollars in companies that are creating the destruction that Live Earth is trying to raise awareness about. She has invested in several companies named as the biggest corporate polluters in the world.

It's a cruel irony that Madonna's Ray of Light Foundation owns blocks of shares in companies that folks like Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio would like to see punished and rehabilitated for their attitudes toward global warming, climate control and basic pollution.

Anyone shocked? Maybe she should hang out at Al's electricity-devouring Tennesee home.

The entire green movement is a scam.

This is not exactly news for those who’ve followed the career of La Ciccone.

The Green movement is based on money.

Higher taxes for the government, new products for the consumer...

I hope that someone is tracking how many of these musicians travel to their destinations via private jet. Something tells me the name should be change to “Live Hypocrisy”

Me thinks Madonna will give the ol’ “So, WTF?” response to all these blow hards!

She’s has never cowed to any criticism.

BTW, I am no fan of the skank, but she is a shrewd business person!

She’s reached that point in her life where sex isn’t everything and greed has surpassed lust. When she’s figured out that she was wrong on both counts, she’ll likely do an ‘Anna Nicole’, finally making that positive impact on mankind she’s been talking about for years.

Right along with everyone else involved. The “green” thing is just marketing.

The line from South Park’s “Getting Gay With Kids” immediately comes to mind:

You only fight these causes, ‘cuz caring SELLS
All you activists can go &#$! yourselves.
