During the provocative passage in her concert, Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns. She has explained that it was meant to illustrate a theme of confession.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
But this angered some religious leaders, who called it a bad-taste
publicity stunt. Several religious groups in the United States told NBC they would organize a boycott of one of the concert's commercial sponsors if the scene appeared.

Madonna isn't seen until she gets off the cross, the network said.
