Madonna and her crew have been scrambling to keep her and her music relevant in the wake of the hacking crisis that saw her entire new album — deemed “unfinished demos” — leak on the internet months before it was set to release. To combat the leak, Madge put out six new tracks on iTunes as a gift for those who pre-ordered her album, Rebel Heart.

Now, either Madonna, or someone on her team who includes Photoshop skills in his or her LinkedIn profile, has been tweeting pictures of historical figures in the same facial bondage the promo pic for her album has her dressed up in. The internet is not pleased.

The tweets started innocently enough with this one of America’s favorite prime-time dad.

Then, things began to swerve radically into the socio-political arena.

Madonna has been pissing people off for years, so this latest stunt should come as no surprise. Still, may people hit the interwebs to express their disdain for Madge’s distasteful tweets.

What is Madonna doing? — Dozi (@dozi1) January 2, 2015

For someone who's been around since reconstruction Madonna still doesn't get social media. — Desus Nice (@desusnice) January 2, 2015

Before everyone gets their panties in knot, just be aware that Madonna knows what she’s doing. She’s been purposely pissing in everyone’s punchbowl for decades just to get a reaction, and this is no different. Is it offensive? Sure. But, do you honestly expect the “Material Girl” to wax philosophically and intelligently about the issues with race relations in America in preparation for her new album?
