Lady Gaga's latest song Telephone (feat. Beyonce) has been matched with a video of epic proportions. Channelling Tarantino's Kill Bill saga Gaga goes for the ultra gloss pop art look; a satirical comment on the world as a consumerist society inundated by information and technology (which is also the main purveyor, obviously). The video is a comment on today's world; a world of instant gratification where we are constantly at reach and on call (via the telephone).
It's all very clever really. The video comments on her apparent gender ambiguity (a rumour she started), has real porn star Alektra Blue, makes use of the 'pussy wagon' borrowed from the Kill Bill set, features her sister Natali Germanotta and uses the diner from US crime show NCIS. However, we do wonder what 'avant-garde' dribble Gaga’s gonna spit out to substantiate the ‘post-modern’ product pollination; a further comment on global conglomerates and the hypodermic needle?
Now that would be a little to convenient, wouldn't it Gaga?
