Women In Prison / Video / Music Lady Gaga and Beyonce Get Ridiculous

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 9:23 AM

I'm more or less indifferent to the pop culture creation that is Lady Gaga—I dislike her music, yet I enjoy her odd performance art—but I doubt you'll see a more entertaining video than her Beyonce collaboration, "Telephone." Thanks to some deep-pocketed major label cash, and plenty of blatant product placement, this nine-and-a-half minute video (!) is a glorious NSFW clusterfuck of homages (Thelma & Louise, Beatrix Kiddo, late night Skinemax woman's prison flicks) and proof that even the most vacant forms of mass-produced pop music can be wildly entertaining.

You really need to watch this.

End Hits: Lock us up in the "prison for bitches."

Mr. Ace: You take back the mean things you said about Lady GaGa. I watched this video, and it taught me that if someone does me wrong... I'LL POISON THE MUTHAFUCKA!!! This isn't a threat, jus' sayin'...

You want some honey on your waffles? Let me go get some for you.

Sincerely,

Graham

The video is creative and fun, but my god, what horrible music. Also, I now understand the speculation about Lady Gaga having a schlong. Chick is homely!

That spin-elbow-face move at 2:24 was a nice move!

Man, that music is a horrible excuse for making a video.

I would totally watch a feature-length version of this video. Probably twice.

Of course she's homely. Her entire shtick so far has been to do her best to cover up or obscure her face. It's actually kind of sad. At least, she hasn't turned into a plastic surgery casualty.
