you'll be a pop star... all you have to do is change everything you are

i've mentioned my disdain for lady gaga before in this blog, and though i hate to be one of those people who obsesses over something they don't like so much that they just can't shut up about it, i think it is time for her to return for another post.

one of the morning shows on the radio a while back (i forget which one) talked about how when lady gaga was first starting out, she was told that she was not pretty enough to be a pop star. if she wanted to make it big, she was going to have to have a different kind of image, and she went with weird. between crazy hairstyles and dresses made of meat, we've all seen this weirdness. and, though i might think it's the stupidest thing since bad grammar became cool, even i have to admit that it does get her a lot of attention. and there's no such thing as bad publicity, right? (is that the saying? it sounds wrong to me.)

though we were all subjected to look at her hideous "unique" style, it was really limited to only her. i may just not be going out enough, but i haven't seen many people wearing meat dresses or anything lately. but now, she is getting ready to sell her stupidity to the masses. like all celebrities that can stay in the spotlight long enough, lady gaga is coming out with her own signature scent, as you may have heard. and do you know what she wants her perfume to smell like? blood and semen. yes, you read that right. she wants to sell blood and semen to millions of people across the world. 

let's all take a moment to really let that sink in. now, i know that she prides herself on being different. i know that at least part of her fame is directly linked to her image. i know that she strives to be the most out there person alive. i even know that she has a right to make her perfume smell like whatever she wants, but come on. there have got to be some limits, and she must have crossed them by now. i mean, really. 

you know what the saddest part is? you just know that despite the fact that she's planning on coming out with perhaps the most disgusting perfume that ever was or ever will be created, people will buy it. as long as it has her name on it they will be lining up to get it, putting it on wishlists, and walking around smelling like bodily fluids. grossgrossgross as it is, you know it's true. our society is made of sheep.
