Subject: [Norton AntiSpam]An interview with "Madonna" in funny back
translation
Found at

RusLanTra, a translators' forum:
Translation of an interview with Madonna for a local newspaper in Budapest
which was translated back into English for 'US Today'. Hopefully they
didn't actually use it:
* BLIKK: Madonna, Budapest says hello with arms that are
spread-eagled. Did you have a visit here that was agreeable? Are you in good
odor? You are the biggest fan of our young people who hear your musical
productions and like to move their bodies in response.
* MADONNA: Thank you for saying these compliments {holds up hands}.
Please stop with taking sensationalist photographs until I have removed my
garmets for all to see. This is a joke I have made.
* BLIKK: Madonna, let's cut toward the hunt: are you a bold
hussy-woman that feasts on men who are tops?
* MADONNA: Yes, yes, this is certainly something that brings to the
surface my longings. In American it is not considreed to be mentally ill
when a woman advances on her prey in a discotheque setting with hardy
cocktails present. And there is a more normal attitude toward leather
play-toys that also makes my day.
* BLIKK: Is this how you met Carlos, your love-servant who is reputed?
Did you know he was heaven-sent right off the stick? Or were you dating many
other people in your bed at the same time?
* MADONNA: No, he was the only one I was dating in my bed then, so it
is a scientific fact that the baby was made in my womb using him. But as
regards those questions, enough! I am a woman and not a test-mouse! Carlos
is an everyday person who is in the orbit of a star who is being
muscled-trained by him, not a sex machine.
* BLIKK: May we talk about your other "baby," your movie then? Please
do not be denying that the similarities between you and the real Evita are
grounded in basis. Power, money, tasty food, Grammys -- all these elements
are afoot.
* MADONNA: What is up in the air with you? Evita never was winning a
Grammy!
* BLIKK: Perhaps not. But as to your film, in trying to bring your
reputation along a rocky road, can you make people forget the bad explosions
of "Who'sThat Girl?" and "Shanghai Surprise?"
* MADONNA: I am a tip-top starlet. That is my job that I am paid to
do.
* BLIKK: OK, here's a question from left space. What was your book
"Slut" about?
* MADONNA: It was called "Sex", my book.
* BLIKK: Not in Hungary. Here it was called "Slut." How did it come to
publish? Were you lovemaking with a man-about-town printer? Do you prefer
making suggestive literature to fast-selling CDs?
* MADONNA: There are different facets to my career highway. I am
preferring only to become respected all over the map as a 100% artist.
* BLIKK: There is much interest in you from this geographic region, so
I must ask this final questions: How many Hungarian men have you dated in
bed? Are they No. 1? How are they comparing to Argentine men, who are famous
being tip-top as well?
* MADONNA: Well, to avoid aggravating global tension, I would say it's
a tie (laugh). No, no. I am serious now. See here, I am working like a
canine all the way around the clock! I have been too busy to try the goulash
that makes your country one for the record books.
* BLIKK: Thank you for the candid chitchat.
* MADONNA: No problem, friend who is a girl.
