Lady Gaga Blurs Life & Art For Sake Of The Sale
IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLOT:
Lady Gack goes to L.A. Airport for an international flight wearing a tulle veil and dark shades and refuses to remove them for security, prompting a full body search and provoking bondage fantasies for her fans.
And it all happens just in time for the release of her new video!
Telephone, featuring Beyoncé, made its web debut Thursday, prompting Gaga's little monsters to slobber and wet their panties.
The video depicts Lady G being tossed into a prison cell and stripped searched by two butch prison guards. But she's not incarcerated for too long before Honey B shows up, bails her out and steers the Pussy Wagon on a murderous road trip.
The 9:22 video is cliche wrapped in camp shrouded in homage to 70s Blackspoitation, made-for-TV lesbian prison flicks, feminist outlaws Thelma & Louise and Quentin Tarantino.
"I told you she didn't have a dick,'' says one jailer after tossing Gags in a cell and strip searching her. "Too bad,'' says a second.
And with those quips, Gaga responds to the wags who've taken to publicly groping her privates with their tongues looking for a penis. But is it mere coincidence or something more when, seven minutes in, the refrain I don't want to talk anymore increasingly begins to sound like "I don't want to tuck anymore?"
Is Gaga trying to feed the urban myth that she's a hermaphrodite? Cause wouldn't that make her happy, really jettison her star into the upper hemisphere?
The video also deliberately has lots of product placements. Because in the ironic age in which we live, everybody pokes fun at commercialism while simultaneously coveting the iconic trappings of wealth.
And so we have Gah reflecting our hypocrisies while creating a parallel situation in real life -- the strip search at the airport -- all for the sake of the sale.
Bravo, Gaga, bravo.
