Telephone is a fantastic song, and there are so many great things about this video, the style, the look of it, the element of ridiculous and my two favorite, the editing and GREAT choreography. But I can not over look the purposeful melding of sex and violence and the objectification of women. Objectifying women is the same thing when it is done by a woman. It is distasteful and not helpful to women anywhere. All she is reinforcing is ridiculous body image and the necessity of women to be sexy to be of value. Not to mention the implied violence and the lesbianism which is just there to titillate and does nothing positive and supportive in that area either.
Sorry Gaga, but besides some fun music and some entertaining outfits you are doing nothing to leave a positive impact in this world. You can talk all you want but with actions like these, your words are lost.
