However, if that instrument can truly make women barren, I would like to import a few and send them to a couple dozen people. Some people should not breed.

I understand they are offended, but it is really a big, mean world out there, and if you want to understand what I mean, try being an atheist some day. No matter what belief one has, someone else will have a belief that causes grief. The key to us all living together is to quit getting so annoyed.

Personally though (and with all due respect to the indigenous Australian community) I would be cursing her more for getting rid that bright red 'fro she had in BMX Bandits. Stunning, simply stunning :) ....

M$“People are going to see Nicole playing it and think it’s all right,” award-winning actor, screenwriter and Aboriginal language teacher Richard Green told Tuesday’s Sydney Morning Herald.
“It bastardises our culture. I will guarantee she has no more children. It is not meant to be played by women as it will make them barren.”
Kidman, who suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during her former marriage to fellow actor Tom Cruise, gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose after marrying country crooner Keith Urban in 2006.
The actress “blew feebly” into a didgeridoo — a long wooden instrument — on the show “Wetten, Dass..?” at the weekend while promoting the Baz Luhrmann film “Australia” with fellow star Hugh Jackman, the paper said.
A cultural officer at Sydney’s Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, Alan Madden, said Kidman and Luhrmann ought to have known better after filming their sweeping romantic epic on location in the Australian outback.
“I presume she doesn’t know, otherwise she wouldn’t be playing it…. Baz should know something about it, after working with those traditional fellas on the film,” he told the newspaper.
Complaints by indigenous academics earlier this year led HarperCollins to apologise for including a section on how to play the didgeridoo in “The daring book for girls” and to remove it from later editions.

M$I can't blame the people of the area to be upset and show how upset they are by placing a curse on her. So its ultimately up to them.
Whether or not this has any really effect on her being able to have children is a matter of debate... IMO, it really has to do whether or not she gives any credence to this "curse." I, however, personally think a public apology is in order.
