THE OTHER RED MEAT

In The Raw: Lady Gaga On Vogue Hommes Japan

By Elizabeth C.

THE SYMBOLISM IS POIGNANT: Lady Gaga has become just another piece of meat.

In the pop star's latest headline-grabbing stunt, Gah poses on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan draped in what appears to be thinly-cut chuck steak. If she had been found caterwauling in the trunk of a car this way, the headlines would make a joke of her marinating in animal flesh.

Or maybe she's pretending to be a pre-cooked, postmodern Betty Rubble. And it's Betty 'cause the boys never did like Wilma in that way.

Whatever. Gah's got our attention -- again. And, of course, PETA objects.

“No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal," the animal rights organization said in a statement. "Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for—they achieved it."

Ha! Tell that to Gah and watch her laugh out loud, grab her crotch and throw up a middle finger if she could.

She may or may not be sick from eating disorders, but Gah’s feasting on our shock.
