If anyone is so foolish to think it was a suicide depiction, then they should not be posting comments. I respect Lady Gaga with the highest amount of admiration because she made a statement about the media and it's potential outcomes due to excessive invasiveness. Anyone who cant see that she is a wonderfully eccentric artist and entertainer and not a problem should just leave it alone. Christopher Jenkins you nailed it on the head congrats dude.

She did not pretend to stab herself!! where are they getting this from? Watch the video. She begins bleeding after playing the piano. There was no stabbing instrument or motions. I was left wondering, Did the paparazzi kill her? What???? She did not pretend to stab herself!! where are they getting this from? Watch the video. She begins bleeding after playing the piano.

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:12:48 +0000 http://www.popcrunch.com/?p=71153#comment-97685 You've got to be kidding me. First, people who want to kill themselves aren't going to be pushed over the edge by seeing fake blood at a stage performance. They're already disturbed. Second, I really doubt suicide is what this performance is about. It's not like she took out a knife and started slashing her wrists. Most importantly, the media should never be responsible for protecting people's delicate sensibilities. This is performance art. These people are just like the censorship goons who claim video game violence is making kids act out. Ridiculous. Grow up, PAPYRUS. You’ve got to be kidding me.

Especially when you totally and completely misrepresent her performance. It just makes you look dumb!How is she "glamorizing suicide" when she is NOT EVEN depicting suicide? She did not kill herself, she was killed by the fame. It's about how a desire for fame can make a person crazy -- kill a person -- literally or metaphorically, and also about how the media never stops hounding celebrities even after death (hence the sound of cameras at flashing after she rises up).If you knew anything about GaGa you'd know that her message is 100% positive. It's about love, celebration, and inner fame. GaGa believes that "The Fame" is something anyone can have; it's a sense of self worth that you don't need to be famous to have.Paparazzi is a song about desperation and stalking. It's about wanting a boy or fame so bad that you become a monster.No kid in their right mind is going to think this has anything to do with suicide. And if children are too young and don't understand that this is art, maybe their parents should explain things to them when something like this comes on tv -- or just not let them see it in the first place.There are plenty more violent things all over, and yet you choose to call out Lady GaGa (most likely cause you'll get a lot of press from riding her coattails). Sometimes art isn't pretty. Sometimes emotions aren't pretty. Saying that GaGa shouldn't express herself in the manner that she chooses is censorship, plain and simple.It's ridiculous to me that a message that is potentially inspiring and transcendent it being peddled as a cheap attempt to promote suicide. It's exactly the opposite!Please retract your comments.Thank you. Dear PAPYRUS,
