I agree that Madonna appearing in Penthouse is no big deal.  What DOES
bother me is that she appears in a very explicit porn film where she
plays the part of a girl that is the victim of a graphically sadistic
sexual encounter.  I don't know the title of the flick, but parts of it
were aired on CNN the evening of July 9 (the parts they could show, anyway).

This type of stuff doesn't do anyone any good (except porn producers).
And when the actor or actress involved is a role model (on false pretense)
I can see how it could do great harm.
