And now back to the important news.
Lady Gaga performed at the Much Music Awards last night and demonstrated her keen, almost genius attention to detail by making sure the massive pubic wig sticking out of her pants matched her hair color. Had it been red, I’d think we can all agree this would’ve been fucking ridiculous, but fortunately she’s the walking embodiment of social commentary, according to her new Communist bestie. Via Page Six:
Lady Gaga has struck up a strong friendship with mysterious Marxist Slavoj Zizek, dubbed “the world’s hippest philosopher.”
… In a recent blog post titled “Communism Knows No Monster,” Zizek called Gaga “my good friend” and said, “There is a certain performance of theory in her costumes, videos and even (some of) her music.” He says her infamous meat dress is a reference to “the consistent linking in the oppressive imaginary of the patriarchy of the female body and meat, of animality and the feminine.”
… Zizek, who once described himself as “communist in a qualified sense” and a “radical leftist,” will be a visiting professor at NYU, where Gaga once studied. He’ll teach German in the fall.
“And vhen she shows her titties to zee people, zees is vhere you vill find a cry for zee vorker to receive his vair share of zee riches. Das titties are everyone’s! Es lebe, Lady GaGa!”

If my pubes grew like beautiful, silky my little pony hairs, I wouldn’t shave that shit either. And I would totally make a wig from the strays. I mean, it just makes sense.
Now THIS is attention to detail.
“The smurfs mourn yet another casualty of Gargamel’s evil schemes….”
Anyone seen the new Weird Al parody of Born This Way? Classic.
Fuckin’ hilarious!
is that poo?
To use a Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror phrase- “Just don’t Look”
and monsters will go away , and maybe Gagaoid as well
Once again, I am calling for a lifetime ban of Gaghag on this site. Those who care about her can go to Perez, the rest of us can continue coming here.
I got HIV from perezhilton.com
Oooooooooo…she’s so edgy…so out there…wow…pushing the boundaries for us…
You know, to paraphrase Denis Leary, the Terrorists get the Internet, too. And THIS is why they hate us.
I’m hard pressed to offer any objection in her case.
How many of those dancers are thinking “Fake blood & fake armpit hair; this isn’t what I signed up for”?
definitely running out of ideas on their part
TAKE THE SHOT!
WTF?? shmale on the right is poppin out ??
“Oh WTF is this!? When I have a wet sticky substance dripping down my thigh, it sure as hell isn’t supposed to be brown!”
At first I came to comment on the stupid look, but then I read about the “hip” Marxist philosopher and can’t figure out which one is stupider, so I’m at a loss for words.
“the consistent linking in the oppressive imaginary of the patriarchy of the female body and meat, of animality and the feminine” I think what the Communist philosopher is trying to say is women are treated as meat and teh meat dress symbolizes this oppression of women as still nothing more than objects of carnal desire for men. So, in essence, complete and utter rubbish.
‘Zizek, who once described himself as “communist in a qualified sense”…’ meaning he describes himself as an abject failure, which communism has proven to be throughout the latter part of the 20th and early part of the 21st century? He’s Avant Guard because he calls himself a communist and chortles off garbage like some new zen thinker? He’s a HACK just like his best buddy with the blue crotch up there. Madonna did your shtick 20 years ago, did your music, did your ‘stand up for what you believe in’ bullcrap, did your ‘avant guard’ thinking (Remember when she became a Scientologist then decided that wasn’t her thing so she became a Cabbalist?), and did everything else Gaga has done and is probably going to try to do. I’m not a fan of Madge, but I hope to GAWD people finally wake up and realize that Gaga is a poor imitation of what Madonna already did.
As for a parting word to Zizek, enjoy your few minutes of fame while you have it because most of us with half a brain and aren’t slaves to ‘fads’ realize how idiotic you are and unoriginal your beliefs are.
Why doesnt Gaga replace Ryan Dunn. Ill watch that.
Her merkin has a jheri curl.
Oh, Jaysus Crist!
There’s no way she’s getting the Rei Ayanami role, now.
Slavoj Zizek is a comedian masquerading as a philosopher.
yep, we know it by now.
THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO BE BANKRUPT THANKS TO HER!!
Ugh!
She looks so Madonna here. Unless you need to hide your Syphyllis sores Merkins aren’t coming back…
Anyone notice the man-lady dancing behind Gaga with the blond pubes? I’m going to go vomit now.
She may be a nutcase, but she makes better pop/dance music than anyone out there right now.
Yes. That clearly MUST be art….wtf…?!?!?!
Actually, she dyed the hair on her head to match her pubes.
I don’t know if anyone stated this allready, but Žižek is not from Germany, he’s from Slovenia. Just sayin’.
I fully expected that when the pubes were revealed they’d be a color that our Earth eyes wouldn’t recognize. I can’t deny I’m disappointed.
What a phony twat. OOO SO SHOCKING!
The weird part is I don’t remember Madonna using a merkin and I’m not sure why Gaga would be calling audibles when the playbook has worked just fine so far.
That just happens to be that philosophers own pretentious interpretation of the meat dress, so pretentious that he ignores the fact that Gaga herself has explained what she meant by the meat dress in previous interviews and it is quite different from what he says. I urge folks to actually listen to a Gaga interview before judging her strangeness.
i urge you to actually listen to a gaga interview before buying into her gimmick. the hypocrisy in her statements is dumbfounding at best. for someone that says over and over that she supports causes like gay rights, you would think she would know better than to wear a ‘meat dress’ when the fight for animal rights is ongoing. please, take gaga with you for a long walk on a short pier.
I personally find that wearing the meat dress was indeed a waste of animal life, but animal rights is not one of her “things”. Gay rights and animal rights are two completely different issues and her supporting one over the other does not make her a hypocrite. I’ll take Gaga for a walk wherever I please and wishing death or violence against someone you don’t know does nothing for you, darling :)
Zizec is a humanities professor. It is precisely his job to give his own (pretentious) interpretation of cultural phenomena.
