Lady Gaga Cancels Concert in Jakarta

I understand that Lady Gaga cancelled her concert in Indonesia.  I'm trying to control myself and not go into an anti-religion rant.  Not in her defense, oh no.  But in the defense of fucking sanity!!

Religion breeds insanity, violence, hate and delusion.

Rationalism breeds atheists and open mindedness. 

Period. The End.  Because I said so.

Do you know what I think is so Allah-damn funny?  That the Islamic hard liners threaten chaos at Stefani's concert because they believe it is evil.  They purchase tickets to infiltrate it, likely to terrorize people in the form of suicide bombers and who knows what else.  Maybe even kill tons of what are primarily CHILDREN AND TEENS.   

 Then they have the audacity to call her the devil!!!!

Fuck. You.

Any rational person will see the fallacy in their way of thinking.  It's just nuts. Nuts.  I said it before and I'll say it again.  This world would be a far better and more peaceful place without religion.  I'm moving to another planet.

Here are two documentaries I'd like to share.

                                                         

       

One Year Already!!

To mark Cheat This Way's one year anniversary, regular visitor Hurt made a video.  Check it out folks and wait until the song kicks in.  Then make sure to watch the end.

Thank you Hurt.  Very cute!

Lady Gaga Continues to Show Cultural Ignorance, Pisses People Off in Thailand

Once again Lady Gaga has offended scores of people with her ignorance when it comes to culture and race.  Stefani landed in Bangkok for her next show and tweeted

So, Stefani lands in a country with tons of history and culture and this is the only thing that stands out for her about being there.  Interesting.  The fake Rolex comment is unbelievably annoying when it's obvious she can afford a real one.  Stefani is a pretender, pretending to be like the regular folk and wants everyone to believe that she is on our level.  This coming from someone who paid almost $200,000 for a car.  When I see her driving around in a used Suzuki, then talk to me about a fake Rolex.  

Thai DJ Surahit Siamwalla tweeted 'We are more civilized than you think'. Siamwalla has a ticket to Friday's show in Bangkok but said he plans to boycott.

On pantip.com, a Thai popular web board, some people said they were insulted by her comments and will cancel their plans to watch her concert.

Thai are understandably offended when ignorant outsiders like Stefani focus on the negative aspects of a country instead of taking the time to learn about the richness of it.  Read a book Stefani, and no, Vogue magazine doesn't count as reading.

Nont Armarttasn, fan or perhaps a former fan, sarcastically noted on his Facebook page. 'Welcome to the land of counterfeit products, love,' he said. 'I'm sure there are plenty of fake Gaga CDs, too.'  Everyone in Thailand should burn their Born This Way CD and buy fake ones just to make a statement.  In fact, someone should sell fakes outside the venue the night of her show.

The lady market comment could be another form of ignorance, or stupidity, whatever you want to call it.    The Lady Market in Hong Kong is a very popular outdoor market that sells knock offs.  

Stefani must be assuming that because she's in another Asian city, they must have a lady market too.  Just like all people from Asia are Chinese!

This isn't the first time Stefani had her lack of knowledge severely confused.

We can add this to the list of culturally ignorant comments spewed by Lady Gaga.  Do you remember when she was in Japan and painted her eyes like a panda bear thinking she was giving homage to  Japanese culture?  Someone should have told her that the panda is part of Chinese culture.

One thing Lady Gaga has perfected is how to make an ass of yourself.  Like I said before, she is the Court Jester of Pop.

An Interesting Debate

Part One 

Part Two

The two videos above tie in nicely with the topics discussed in the comments and with the protests against Lady Gaga's concert by religious groups.  The videos also tie in nicely with the theory that Gaga's preaching is very cult-like and that she views herself has a deity for her fans, whether she admits it or not.   

The opinions expressed in the two videos may offend some, especially if you are very attached to your religious beliefs.  On the other hand, it asks questions that are very logical and provokes thought.  That is, if you are open to thought.  

Questions like "what makes a cult different from a religion"?  I encourage you to watch and engage in a debate from what I think is a pretty awesome springboard.

I Think I'm Gonna Be Sick

“I’m not an alien. I’m not a woman. I’m not a man. I’m not a creature of your government, Manila. I’m all your dreams and I’m all your potential. Let me be all your insecurities and your fears. I’m your future. I’m everything that makes you sad and angry. I’m you, little monsters. Tonight’s not a statement. Tonight’s us coming together because we believe we were all born this way. Some people say I stand for things that are bad. The truth is, I want the best for every single one of you. My lifestyle is like one whole performance of liberation.” 

Lady Gaga - Speech during concert in Manila

Come again?  What lifestyle?  Can anyone be more pretentious than Lady Gaga.  Unbelievable.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Jesus Christ.  This is just like the Monster Ball all over again.  The rambling on in between songs.  Psychotic screaming.  The reverb in the stadium makes it really difficult to understand what she is saying.   The constant portrayal of a victim is getting really old. The crying.....just stop.  Isn't it time for a new schtick? 

A Brilliant Perspective from Paws Down

Go and read Martyr for Fame:  The Ugly Duckling Syndrome by Paws Down.  

It's a different perspective on the whole Indonesia hard line Muslim threat and the theory that this may be staged by Gaga's handlers. 

Music review: Lighten up, Lady Gaga is just comic-book outlandish

Just what I've been saying all along.  Don't be offended by her religious folk.  She's just a court jester masquerading as controversy and art.  Yawn.

Oh and to those who think I copied Paws Down on purpose....suck on this.

 

Thanks Paws Down.  You and I work together and help each other out.  I did not deliberately leave out credit.  I always give credit, even to people who email stories to me.  It was an accident and not meant to be malicious.  I love your blog too.
