Madonna's Cross Position

As Tori Amos once asked, "Why do we crucify ourselves?"
Well, Madonna, for one, does not do it for spectacle. Nor does she strike the pose because she's suffering from a "spiritual crisis," as multiple religious figures have suggested since she started suspending herself from a cross while onstage this year.
The Material Girl issued a statement Thursday following the final date of her record-breaking Confessions tour, which wrapped up today in Tokyo, defending her mock-crucifixion as not being "anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous."
