What you can't be ironic and make money off it? Since when?

...Is this about the Lady GaGa video?

[northernwalker]

Yeah, she considers Lady GaGa a sellout because there's Miracle Whip in the vid. Which, by the way, they did not pay to place there.

But it's Lady GaGa. It's...I don't know, she's so over the top you just have to take it all and say 'okay'

Besides, if they did pay for it: she needs the money to pay for her crazy stuff on stage right? XD

I was only dimly aware of Amanda Palmer until her severe case of foot-in-mouth disease exploded all over my flist. Now that I've been made aware of not only the particular round of idiocy, but also that she's the one behind that disgusting Evelyn-Evelyn fiasco that, I...can't promise to stop giving her my money since I never have done, but I definitely have no compunctions about informing all my friends why they should stop.

In case you haven't seen it, this is a pretty good response to her.

I have just realized that I am extremly stupid for not realizing that she meant the Klu Klux Klan with 'the Klan' and that THAT'S NOT FUNNY. Please forgive me.

I've seen it, and that's what inspired me to post about it. I'd never heard of her before- I'm not a Gaiman fan. Glad to hear people spreading the word!

Hey, you're in Germany- I'm guessing American hate groups aren't the first thing that comes to mind. No worries, and I totally agree that this wasn't at all funny.

Lady GaGa puts on a fabulous show, from what I hear. I don't think she has any pretensions of being a great artiste, she's an entertainer. Which is just fine. And I agree, she's way out there, but as you say, that's her thing.
