I think of Madonna as less strange and more annoying, though. Kind of like that girl in high school or college who’d be on some new trend every other week and be seriously telling you about how great vegetarianism or veganism or the occult is. And she’s not really all that strange or out there but she really wants you to think she is. And then she spends a month abroad and comes back with a faux accent.

> Considering that Bill Simmons was able to write an entire column on “The Tyson Zone” (i.e., the area a celebrity gets to when you can say _anything_ about them and people will believe it), I think you’ve got it.

This sentence was the exact one I came into this thread to write.  
Way to go\*\* Duke\*\*.
