Madonna’s new Instagram account might be shut down for being too raunchy

Leave it to Madonna to be on Instagram for only a couple weeks and already be threatened to be shut down for being too risqué. She’s no stranger to censorship, dating back to 1990 when MTV refused to play her video for “Justify My Love,” which was deemed to explicit. The ban didn’t bring her down then (she sold more than a million copies of the controversial video in VHS), and it doesn’t look like much has changed. She went right ahead and took a photo of the official warning she got from Instagram and kept up her pictures, which include her “addicted to sweat” cleavage and an ass shot that has me questioning my homosexuality.
