Madonna clip

This clip (click HERE) has been making its rounds online lately; the episode was even mentioned in the Straits Times. It is useful for a few reasons:
-notion of equality and prejudice, discrimination
-the fallacy that technology has fostered intimacy (as mentioned by Madonna in the clip)
-celebrity influence and the idea of heroes in today's world (not all celebrities are dumb and only interested in fame and money, or could it be that Madonna is on a crusade because she needs to be constantly in the limelight in order to sustain her flagging career?)
-use of social media in raising awareness and fighting causes, or in Madonna's words, starting a 'revolution'....think Arab Spring

Sample Qn: 'There are no heroes let in the world, only celebrities.'  Do you agree? [can argue that celebrities can be heroes]
