Ok, so get this.
It's the second time Madonna is coming to Poland and it's the second time the choice of the date of the concert gets protested by Catholic fundies (now, it gives her more publicity and they don't get their way but I'm just puzzled that this attracts so much press here) - two years ago they were protesting because she was going to give a concert on the Feast of Assumption, and this year it's the anniversary of the start of Warsaw Uprising.
So the question is - are protests like this happening in your country too or is this likely a unique phenomenon of Polish idiocy? (I am not talking about a general protest against a specific popstar but protesting the actual date on which the concert is happening)
No.
But I think you share that distinction with various Islamic countries.
No. Though the bishop of St. Pölten recently called on the faithful to pray for the souls of the visitors to a metal festival that took place in his parish. People mostly laughed at him.
I got dragged to the steaming pile of shit that is a Madonna concert last week or so in Gothenburg. :bleeding: Fuck, why do people pay for that shit?
But unfortunately no protests or anything, although I might see why third world uneducated religious people would be annoyed by her.
A rampaging band of Beliebers managed to conquer and occupy Oslo for a while. Some concert dates SHOULD be protested.. or at least Norway should Re-Arm.
When Lady Gaga came, there was a huge speculation bubble on her tickets. The record was something like US$4,000 for a seat. Then the bubble burst, and many speculators lost huge sums.
But no protests.
:huh:

As usual, you answered your own question.
No. Which is a shame.
