Mystic Tackles Madonna, Figuratively Speaking

The serious part of my speculation was that the Rabbi’s use of the words “for profit” was a misreading of Madonna’s motives (I think she is sincere, even if a bit misguided). The sillier part was an imagined musical response from Madonna.

This whole thing is nonsense. If you ask me, rabbis responding to such idiocy and having it land in the mass media is itself a deceration of G-d's name. However, the press is out there to trick us into providing them with the sensations they need to fill in the blanks. I'm sure Rabbi Cohen didn't hold a press conference to condemn Madonna. Some Ma'ariv reporter called him up and got the words he wanted to hear - all in 20 seconds. Shy Guy It sounds like Rabbi Cohen may be unaware that Madonna is not Jewish.

Quite a different matter, though... Just having gazed briefly over the post… kind of looked like it was about Leonard Cohen and “Story of Isaac”. Quite a different matter, though…

Which of the 7 Noachide laws that Madonna is obligated to follow would prohibit her from using the Ari's name for profit? Where do they dig up these "Rabbis"? What prohibition would that be?
