Is it a sign of guilty conscience that the video showing Modonna making comments about "molly" has suddenly vanished from YouTube?

While TMZ reports that Madonna disputes any knowledge of the term "molly" to mean Ecstasy, this is hardly believable. Even if she knew about it and knew she would lessen the perception of harm of this very dangerous illicit drug by saying what she said, if she did not refer to Ecstasy with her comments, she also should have said so. In my opinion, Madonna has no acceptable excuse for what she said.
Recently Madonna performed at the Ultra Music Festival and asked the audience if anyone had seen “molly”?
“Molly” is a known ingredient in the illicit drug Ecstasy and to ask this question is about as irresponsible, crazy and reckless as it gets. Madonna made these comments knowing there were thousands of people in the audience. Guess her comments about how sad she was that Michael Jackson died were never meat to be sincere in the first place. I am glad to see that DJ Deadmau5 had the courage to stand up to her and speak his mind.
Promoting illicit drug use is unfortunately part of the music industry and since it became widely known back in the 1970’s, i.e. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix to name a few, we have not been able to regulate it or stop it. Nowadays some recording artists feel it is “part of their craft” to be intoxicated and promote their drug of choice; be it alcohol, marijuana or other dangerous substances. I for one would advise anyone not to buy the music these artists produce. While the music may sound nice, the lyrical message calls for drug use and it promotes an unhealthy way of thinking. I wonder what Madonna’s daughter thinks about her remarks to the audience?
It also goes to show that artists have the power to use his or her voice to either do good or to instigate stupid ideas like “has anyone seen molly?” Madonna has always had a track record of doing whatever she wants regardless of what others thought of her. From standing on the street naked, while hitchhiking and smoking a cigarette, to crossing the line between religious principles and fornication, Madonna’s message leaves us with one certainty. She could care less!
Parents beware! Don’t let your kinds believe Madonna’s attitude toward drug use is innocent or harmless. Madonna should apologize for her comments immediately.
