One of the qualities of snark is how it can hide itself. As Denby says, it's a sneaky, snide, teasing form of abuse. Alan Carr's comments on Madonna, made in a recent interview for the Sun, cleverly combine insult with apparent compassion.
"She must have awful wind on the macrobiotic diets.
You see her on stage bending into these funny positions and she must be parping away – no wonder her dancers look so miserable.
It's such a shame, isn't it? Her face looks pretty but the veins... it's like the M6 all down her arm. When I watched her film In Bed With Madonna she's effing and blinding and is good fun. She seems to have changed so much."
Is Carr guilty of genuine feeling, or is it a ploy to mask the snark?
