Fundies issue fatwa against Lady Gaga

:rofl:


from the American Family Association, obviously no fans of "Poker Face":



April 7, 2010


WARNING: Lady Gaga to appear in 'GLEE'


There is singing and dancing in FOX's hit television program "GLEE," but this is no "High School Musical." Not that we approve of either, but "GLEE" is far from a family-friendly program in comparison. Sadly, this program was recently awarded the SAG Award and won the 2010 Golden Globe for "Best Television Series."

Ryan Murphy, the creator of "Nip/Tuck," introduced "GLEE," last year. This show is full of graphic sexual themes involving high school students, casual drug use and teens who lie and manipulate to get what they want. And to be politically correct, they also had a homosexual student "come out" last season.

The spring premier of "GLEE" airs at a special time on Tuesday, April 13 at 9:30/8:30c. Murphy has announced that he has invited Lady Gaga to make a cameo appearance this season and she has accepted. Lady Gaga is popular in the music industry and has also been named the "New Madonna" for recreating herself time and time again. Her "costumes" and choreography are vulgar and offensive and she has no place on a teen show.

Cameos usually highlight a role-model, but sacrilegious Lady Gaga is far from someone you would want your child to look up to. Her music video, "Bad Romance," she has crosses on caskets of vampire-like characters who wake up and come out to dance with her, lap dances, sparks that fly out of her bra, and she grabs her crotch while in bed with a skeleton. Her back-up dancers consist of men and women, but all appear to be women by cross-dressing. An interview concerning her personal relationships she told one reporter that "she prefers men because they have something that she doesn't, but she was open to a same-sex relationship."

OMM will monitor this program's advertisers closely and report back to you when the series resumes next week.

1. Fucking idiots...
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 12:57 PM by SidDithers
The come out and say the show is full of "graphic sexual themes", "casual drug use" and is far from "family friendly", but then base their complaint about Lady Gaga on the fact that she's inappropriate, and "has no place on a teen show".

Talk about mixed messages. Is it a teen show, or a hotbed of graphic sexuality not appropriate for famiilies?

4. I want to thank AFA
for the reminder:

"The spring premier of "GLEE" airs at a special time on Tuesday, April 13 at 9:30/8:30c."

Had I not seen their complaint, I probably would have missed the show.

5. Blah, blah, blah...
If it's not the American Family Association, it's the Brady Campaign complaining about her use of firearms in another video. Sometimes La Gaga can't catch a break.

6. The Fame Monster can't buy this kind of publicity!
Gaga says "thanks."


This talented young woman can write and belt out a song.

9. Who could possibly give a shit what these troglodytes think about anything?
Even the writing is neanderthal-dumb. "...this is no "High School Musical." Not that we approve of either.." So, if High School Musical is too devilish, why even bother?

Why not just ban singing and dancing altogether, like their counterparts in Iran?

10. The AFA's stance against Madonna for much of the same reasons really hurt her career in the 1980s
and 1990s.

Oh wait...

11. Graphic sexual scenes?
I know the typical republican is a closeted sexual freak show but shit... calling GLEE full of graphic sexual themes is a bit far.

18. Well by graphic sexual scenes they mean....
Glee took a big poke with a sharp stick at abstinence only programs and they let gays actually appear human.

13. Oh, goody! Another potential Lustmord fan!
Honestly, I'm on a Muse kick right now (Love The Resistance, but Absolution is currently getting more play in my car), but if you're looking for something truly different, check this guy out:

14. Good now if they can take out American Idol as well
music might make a comeback. Because right now, and I know I sound like my dad, but man the music these days all seems like manufactured pop crap.

15. Lady Gaga announced she was celibate. That's the thanks she gets.
By announcing she was celibate and saying it was a good thing, Lady Gaga probably created more "abstinence" than all of the combined efforts of every abstinence program of all prudes since the dawn of time.
