Lady Gaga’s telephone video is… well it’s a video

I was hoping to blog about this the day that it came out, but seeing that I started back up yesterday, well I didn’t. Back off… geez.

I was not a fan of the Gaga at first, as I have said many times before, but she continues to capture my attention. I wasn’t even really a fan of this song, I didn’t even know it was her when I first heard it actually. However, thanks to this bizarre video I am having trouble getting the damn jingle out of my head. The video absolutely makes no sense and at several times I found myself uncomfortable watching it. Not because the video was too much for me, but because it was so odd I was embarrassed for the people involved in it. I also happened to enjoy the portrayal of the butch lesbians that filled the prison. It was like an army of small town bull dykes auditioned for the video and the director said, “Fuck it, why not.”

Besides the fact that it is really long for a music video, it is also loaded with product placement. I could not tell if it was satire of just bad production design, but I do know one thing. The scene where she makes the sandwich is the best thing I have seen all year. I have been eating sandwiches for the past 4 days because of this video and every time I make one, I do the little dance only to realize it is these little things that will assure my single status in life.

Overall, interesting video, even if I have no idea what’s going on. I have noticed something while this video has been making the rounds, gay men LOVE IT. They don’t just love it, but they think it is the most amazing thing that has ever been created since whatever it was they loved 30 minutes before that.

“OMG IT’S SO WEIRD AND DIFFERENT! I AM WEIRD AND DIFFERENT! IT’S ABOUT ME!”

Zing!
