Whoa Nillie, Whoa… rein in your pack animal and stop him right in his tracks, Whoaaaa now!!! Those of you in the fan club keep your pheromones in check, Lady Gaga’s taking a stand for the big A word.

My first thought: Ok, come on “dhugs,” you’re joshin’ me, right? She’s not REALLY on the A-team, is she? Wow, maybe deep down she’s really a moral Christian girl?

So I looked it up, and sure enough, that’s what Lady Gaga stated recently: She’s supporting and a spokeswoman for the concept… but there’s a catch: She’s got a new definition for the word.

Here’s what I found out:

Lady Gaga had an interview with Benji Wilson of the UK’s Daily Mail. In the interview, she states: “I can’t believe I’m saying this – don’t have sex. I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s OK not to have sex, it’s OK to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.” Then goes on to say “Something I do want to celebrate with my fans is that it’s OK to be whomever it is that you want to be. You don’t have to have sex to feel good about yourself, and if you’re not ready, don’t do it. And if you are ready, there are free condoms given away at my concerts when you’re leaving!”

Not wanting to get into the abstinence vs. celibacy thing here, but basically abstinence is the more relaxed of the two.

It sounds to me like this is more of a temporary condition for Lady G than using the concept for it’s intended purpose.

If you read the Stuff Christian’s Like blog there’s a similar notion, called The Justin Bieber Effect. I’m calling this The Lady Gaga Corollary: Taking a Christian word or concept, and trying to bend it to make it work in either the definition that one would like for it to be, or trying to make a Christian concept align with the current cultural trend.

Twisted.

Not that I think that all of pop culture is bad… like all of us I have some pop culture weaknesses… I indulge in a double-tall-no whip-non fat-mocha, and the local low-fat frozen yogurt establishments most every day, but there are just parts of pop culture that I’m not really that… shall we say… GAGA over…

However, since Lady Gaga is hot (referring to her popularity here) and IT at the moment, why not write about it here (music IS one of my categories, you know)

I like some of her groove, it’s catchy but would wear on me if I did tune into the local radio noise and heard it a zillion times a day. She can bust a move on the dance floor like few others.

Ok, here’s what I’m thinkin’… is some of this stuff poison for our minds? Yep, especially for men! Men have a well-documented weakness for visual media, think pornography here. That’s what A LOT of pop culture, especially TV and the Internet, is all about. Check out what Jonathan Acuff says on his Serious Wednesday’s about it.

Was Madonna “bad news”… of course not, I grew up with it, remember… a lot of this just depends on your perspective.

Oh yea, the end of the “bad romance” video… that poor dude… toasted to a crisp on the bed… Ouch!!

So what do you think… is Lady Gaga the Modern Day Madonna, or just Bad Romance?
