Deadmau5 slams Madonna for talking drugs

You have to figure that when you name your new album something very similar to a drug that people are capable of overdosing on, you’ll probably get some flack for being irresponsible at best and a complete moron at worst. So here comes the surprisingly awesome DJ Deadmau5 to call out Madonna for glorifying ecstasy while she was talking on stage at the Ultra Music Festival down in Miami this past weekend, which is really the sort of thing you should probably not do ever. TMZ reports:

Deadmau5 was clearly watching when Madge took the stage at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami this weekend and shouted to the crowd, “How many people in this crowd have seen molly?” (check out video below at :45 mark)

FYI — “Molly” is a slang term for MDMA, one of the key ingredients in ecstasy … a drug that’s hugely popular with people in the electronic dance music community. While the crowd CHEERED at Madge’s comment … Deadmau5 went to his Facebook page and ripped the singer a new one.

“Very classy there madonna. ‘HUR DUR HAS ANYONE SEEN MOLLY???’ such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra.”

He added, “Quite the f’n philanthropist. but hey, at least yer HIP AND TRENDY! f*cking cant smack my head hard enough right now.”

Chances are, as a DJ, Deadmau5 is probably all too aware of the effects club drugs can have on people, so it’s good to see him taking someone to task for mindlessly promoting a dangerous lifestyle for the sake of being ‘edgy’. Hell, I’d almost respect Madge if she actually took MDMA and knew what she was talking about, but at her age she probably takes Metamucil when she’s feeling frisky and ready for action.
