More dumb shoes: Madonna's gun heels stir up controversy

Madonna ignited a huge scandal this week and, no, it wasn't about her just-announced upcoming divorce, who she might be dating next, her relationship with A-Rod, Kabbalah, or the silly outfits she slithers around in during her Sticky & Sweet tour. Nope, this was all about the Chanel shoes Madge wore this week to the Filth and Wisdom movie screening in New York.

Members of the British anti-violence group Mothers Against Murder And Aggression were outraged over the singer's choice of footwear adorned with a gun-shaped stiletto. According to the Daily Express, one member said, "I am horrified that Madonna can see these shoes as fashion. Celebrities have a massive part to play and an icon like Madonna should have more sense. It's uncaring. Surely she reads the news and realises that young people are dying every day."

Hmmm. I can't tell if I think it's irresponsible for a 50-something celebrity to wear shoes bearing the symbol of a deadly weapon. I do, however, think it's kind of lame. But probably people should lighten up on the whole "violence" angle?
Your thoughts?
Oh, and here's the full outfit:

    Those shoes are awesome. I would prefer them in hot pink so they look less threatening, but I would totally wear them out to the clubs.

    I actually like the outfit and the front of the shoes are cute. As an artist I respect the creativity but I wouldnt own a pair personally.

    heres the other part-she's Madonna- if shes not making headlines shes not doing her job. And she's a Leo- they love all that attention for better or for worse. Speak up Leos- you know its true!

    Almost as attention loving, Aries

    I think they are freaking awesome.

    especially with Halloween coming up, they would make a great mobster girl shoe or something.

    I want them!!!

    MADONNA may make me want to go out and shoot people, but her gun shoes don't.

    that's a joke...
