Do आप think that Lady Gaga has gone too far this time?

I read an लेख about how Gaga was pissed off at people saying that she was Copying Madonna, and used the word "Retarded" [in case आप didn't know, this word is offensive to people with Disabilities] Plus, she has banned Werid Al from making parodies of her, and once again, she's making religous controversy with her new single "Judas". Please tell me what आप think.

First off, I don't know a single person in the world that hasn't used the word "retarded". Yes, I know it can be quite offensive, but honestly, so are all the "bad words" out there that we use every day.

I don't know who Wierd Al is, but as far as I know, Gaga can't make anyone stop making parodies. Maybe he chose to quit making fun of her? Gaga may rule the pop world, but she can't stop people from making parodies.

As for "Judas"...I'm not going to get in to the religious contraversies. I'm a very religious person, & I don't find it offensive. Have आप ever heard of analogies? Gaga herself is a Christian, a Catholic, like me.


I don't mean to sound rude, these are just my opinions. Also, don't belive everything आप read online. There's a lot of bullshit out there :)

None of the things आप describe are particularly bad. Offensive, perhaps, but one sells records with controversy. "Retarded" is no और offensive than "impaired", as they are virtually synonymous. But even if the animus that has built up around the word was universally offensive, offensive language is important to a society predicated on free speech. "Banning 'Weird' Al" smacks of a publicity stunt to me, because 'Weird' Al's studio has to get permission from the artists he parodies (or at least the copyright owners) before it can प्रकाशित करे his songs. 'Weird' Al is not "allowed" to प्रकाशित करे parodies of a LOT of songs, I'm sure. Religious controversy sells almost as well as sex. The thing is, while the video may be sensational and provocative, the lyrics indicate that the song is about a person torn about loving the person who's bad for her. They'd actually be pretty mundane if not for the associations with the name "Judas."
