When Madonna sensationally pulled down a 17-year-old fan, Josephine Georgious', top onstage, exposing her breast in front of thousands of people, it immediately made headlines.
But Corrine Barraclough argues that there wasn't enough outrage over the singer's bizarre antics.
Anyone aggrieved by Madonna showing up hours late to her concerts this week must be wide-eyed and shivering silently in shock today.
Necking shots, swigging from a hip flask and acting erratically on stage is controversial and questionable enough.
But yanking a young girl's top down on stage, exposing her breast? Madonna, what the hell are you playing at?

Too controversial: Writer Corrine Barraclough argues that Madonna's behaviour on tour in Brisbane is totally unacceptable
Identified girl: Since Madonna pulled down her top in Brisbane, the 17-year-old girl has been identified as Josephine Georgious
Unbalanced act: She says that: 'Necking shots, swigging from a hipflask and acting erratically on stage is controversial and questionable enough', but this is too far
If this was a male performer, there would be absolute outrage by now.
If Robin Thicke blurred the lines to this appalling, shameful extent for instance, there would be calls for his head, demands he pay a large fine and requests for him to leave the country, shamed forever.
Being invited up on stage by a performer is supposed to go down as a memorable experience for all the right reasons.
