Bad is Good?



So Madonna (the going-on-54-year-old musician) showed her breast to a recent concert audience? My first reaction was, “been there, seen that, bought the book.”

But then I got thinking.

Madonna Louise Ciccone has got to be one of the best self-promoters of all time.  The Material Girl has a way of getting attention when no one even wants to pay attention. Flashing a little (figuratively speaking) booby is probably worth a million dollars in paid advertising.

After all, there is no such thing as bad publicity… only a bad spin on a bad event or comment.

President Obama recently made a comment on the improved economy.  Mitt Romney isn’t about to let that comment die.  It’s publicity – attention being paid to the President, whether he wants it or not.

 So if there is no such thing as bad publicity, then that means Bad is Good, right?  Of course, Good is Good too.

So there’s only good (and bad-good)?  Now I’m confused.

My point, and I think I have one, is that Madonna can do a bad thing (as least in the eyes of some) and spin it into a good thing for her money-making machine.

Getting someone talking about you, when you’re trying to make a buck, is never a bad thing.
