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!

Congress passes moral judgement on Tiger Woods and is lost on the irony.

Tiger Woods was being considered for a Congressional Gold Medal for his part in breaking down barriers in the sports world and promoting good  sportsmanship. However, now that he has been exposed as a living human being, capable of flaws, Congress has decided to withdraw the honor.

Democratic Rep. Joe Baca of California was pushing for Tiger Woods to be recognized for his achievements by purposing a piece of legislation that would have honored him and his accomplishments. In light of recent events, he has stated that he will not pursue the legislation this session. The medal is the highest honor that Congress possesses to honor civilians for their contributions to society. (More after the jump)

Jennifer Vanasco: How Adam Lambert Is Hurting Gay Marriage

In her article, which you can read here, Jennifer Vanasco, editor in chief of 365gay.com and Huffington Post.com contributor, takes aim at the former American Idol contestant and discusses the hypocrisy seated within Lambert’s AMA performance as well as his personal views on his sexuality.

“You told Out Magazine that you didn’t make a big deal out of your sexual orientation during American Idol once pictures of you kissing a man had been exposed because:

“I don’t understand why it has to be about my sexuality. I’m just not going to talk about it one way or another. . . . And then when those pictures came out, I was like, you know what? I thought maybe I’ll just own it and say, ‘Yeah, I’m gay.’ But I didn’t want to label myself.”

That’s interesting, Adam Lambert. When you were worried about winning a contest, you didn’t want to openly attest to being gay. (And, in fact, your people were worried that you would seem “too gay” on Out’s cover.) BUT, when you wanted to make a splash in public, when you wanted to get noticed – suddenly you were all about gay sexuality.”

Vanasco goes on to criticize Lambert for his timing and lack of responsibility as a pop culture figure during a period of political uncertainty for the LGBT community.

Personally I don’t agree with everything Vanasco says in her article.  I think she comes off a bit irrational and her article’s title doesn’t hide her disdain for Lambert as a public figure either, but she does have some valid points.  For ABC to even acknowledge the measly 1,500 complaints about Adam Lambert’s performance and then cancel his Good Morning America performance the following day, when the entire show was loaded with acts from straight, female performers shaking their beef baskets in front of the masses, was not only incredibly hypocritical but nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to a situation that needed no handling.

No matter what your views may be on the situation, one thing is clear.  It’s a telling sign of our society that a badly choreographed song and dance by a boy in eyeliner has more political sway than all of the elected representatives and grass roots campaigns combined.

I’m depressed now.  I need a little cake.

Adam Lambert’s new music video – “For your Entertainment”. Sure… ok.

Adam Lambert has released the music video for his single “For your Entertainment”. The video isn’t bad, but I want to know why the need for all the woman fondling him? I mean… we know he is gay, so what’s the deal? I just don’t see Justin Timberlake having guys all grabbing at his junk in any of his videos.

The song is a lot more enjoyable in the video compared to the AMA performance.  I am still not a big fan of it, but he looks glam rock for sure.
