When you type the letter "L" into Google's image search the first word that comes up in the infinitely annoying list of suggestions is "Love".The second is "Lady GaGa".
Now, never having heard her music it would be unfair for me to comment on it, but what I have to comment on is how I am constantly being updated on everything GaGa without trying...at all.
I am well versed in her many faces, having seen her radically different looks plastered on almost any surface that an image will adhere to. Her antics are described to me in one-liners at the periphery of my vision every single time I try to check my email. Seriously, every single time. All of her videos are controversial. How could something this popular be controversial? Record labels don't want controversies, they want as many people to accept their product as humanly possible.
It's getting to a point that I cannot remember a time before this creature existed. And a Lady GaGaless future seems like a far off, dreamy nebula of abstract thinking that I am having trouble comprehending. All of this and I have never heard even one of her songs.
I was utterly perplexed by this until I had a thought. If her music were any good at all perhaps they wouldn't have to sell her so hard. The worse a product is the better the advertising has to be. You know, I feel the same way about God.
