I don't think so. I can't even begin to find a way to spin this whole video into a joke. And considering how seriously she takes all of her stuff, I don't know why she would want to turn her gay anthem into a big joke.
I just think you're not thinking enough about the metaphor.

in interviews she's been wearing prosthetic horns on her face and shoulders. she says they are real and not fake. she says that she was in the grammys egg for 3 days and she was reborn that night. that fits into the concept of the video. i know there is a metaphor in that her message to her fans is to love yourself and not be prejudiced. she is obviously taking that to really extreme levels were it becomes slightly funny and tongue in cheek. that's how i see it anyway.

Hey how 'bout this? I don't care what her supposed message is - it's fucking pretentious and just STFU already.

When we're at the point when we're trying to interpret the symbolism behind a cokehead in an egg shell, maybe this shit is just a parody of itself and has run it's course.

no, i rather enjoy talking about lady gaga. i'm a big fan. not sure why you're pitching in if you don't care. it's not like we're all sitting in a room next to each other. i'm not sure why anyone who isn't a fan / doesn't give a shit about her message and what not would bother to begin discussing her unless they were interested so i think the discussion is okay.

knock yourself out bro, I'm just saying I really doubt she's thinking as deeply about this as you are

what am i saying that's deep? i'm saying it's not as deep as HLP thinks, i think it's simply funny, and i've literally made 3 posts in discussion on the matter.

Well I know it's just not like you to read into anything too much, but it really does seem like you're putting a lot of meaning into the video outside of the obvious symbolism. So I figured you were just trying to rile us up.

i didn't read that, i'm too busy reciting the manifesto of the little monsters. :)

no but really, i don't think i was putting a lot of thought into it. can you show me where i went wrong.

why are you getting riled up? lol i'm not riled up that others don't have the same view. if i was then i would despise lady gaga a million times more than i already do.

i guess it all depends on how seriously you think she takes herself.

i hope to god she isn't as serious as she comes across. that's why i pretend everything is a joke. how sad of me.

As for the dance critics, my opinion is that this song involves more actual singing than her past ones (like Poker Face). If she's supposed to dance and sing then let's cut her some slack. You know, unless you can even hold a candle to what she does.

Since when do people sing live in their music videos? She's lip syncing. :P
