Free: (Adjective) Given or available without charge.

To get people interested in her new album "Hard Candy," aptly named after a film about a young girl who tortures a pedophile to his death, Madonna is giving it away on myspace for free; just four days before its official release. That's a pretty ballsy move for a hip-hop album put out by a 50-year-old woman, so I guess they must be pretty confident about it.

Actually, this reminds me of a commercial they used to run all the time for this stuff called "Focus Factor" where they offered to let you try it for free, and this lady would go: "Free? It must be good!" So going by this logic, I'd say right off the bat Madonna's new album is probably awesome. Just like Focus Factor, AOL free trial CDs and free cat.

More of Madonna at the premiere of I Am Because We Are -- and just for fun, the commercial for Focus Factor after the jump.
