The cheese grater on my soul

I really don't get it. I don't get the draw of a person who laughs in the face of polite society. I don't get the draw of a person who uses sex as a grotesque weapon to destroy the moral walls of society. And despite the hype about whatever the social commentary may be, I don't get the draw of bowing down at the alter of a pop star who uses explicit and downright disturbing imagery to make their point.
Yes, I am talking about the person who is truly the cheese grater on my soul. Lady Gaga.
I am truly appalled at what passes for entertainment in our society. Gaga is known for pushing limits of decency and comfort. She routinely flouts laws of common decency to make a political statement.
There are so many places you could start to criticize her. I would suggest focusing on her videos, which are not only explicit, but truly horrifying. Calling her videos pornography would be a compliment. Her videos cross lines of decency and morality in explicit ways in order to cause unrest in people's minds. This is all of course to get a message across, which is why she gets away with it of course. But why should we be OK with this?
If you've seen her video Alejandro you know what I'm talking about. Her explicit representations of sexuality are just plain disturbing and I will not stand by it as if I'm OK with it.
Wearing a low cut dress or tight skirt is one thing, but when you take it to an extreme where nudity is implied and other sexually explicit acts are being performed and implied I simply cannot do it.
In her latest video Born this way she basically gives birth to some sort of monstrous thing inside a kaleidoscope and includes all manner of grotesque imagery that I won't describe but instead let you see for yourself.
I don't care what kind of a point you are trying to make. I will never be OK with the use of grotesque sexuality being used to make a statement.
I've heard several people comment and say, "she actually has a really nice voice and is such an amazing performer." I would say, "SO what!" Lots of people have great voices, but lots of people don't use disgusting tactics to promote themselves.
I would venture to say that her videos border on pornographic. Now that I say that however, that doesn't even seem to do justice to the videos. Either way...
Adolescents are growing up listening to and singing her songs. Is this the kind of role model we want to have for our kids? Someone who models obscene behavior under the guise of advocacy? I know I won't be introducing my kids to her "music".
Call me old fashioned, conservative, or whatever. Lady Gaga is an out of control diva who has gone too far.
I chose not to include a photo in this post for a very specific reason. We all know what she looks like. I don't need to show you.
