As an artist with a message fuelled cause, Lady GaGa’s use of violence to articulate her theories of fame have at times seen her work confuse and disturb any unaware of her artistry.
This week, the above happened once again when a never before seen clip pulled from her ‘FAME’ fragrance commercial found its way to YouTube, and sees the Interscope star in what might be her most violent piece of work to date.
So violent, that we’d urge you not to watch if you consider yourself easily shaken.
If not, peep GaGa and her gun in action below…
Sure, while recent events have made the civillians handing firearms and hot and controversial topic, we feel GaGa’s use of the gun was merely symbolic- and really shouldn’t cause offence.
By no means are we saying we didn’t find it disturbing-because we did- however, as is always the case with visionary’s like Germanotta, her work shouldn’t be criticised unless it’s put into context. In this case, the context being the dark and violent side to fame very few acts are brave enough to admit exists.
So, let us know…

Im sorry TGJ but thats just bullshit, this ad, is a pointless means to just be contreversal, the fact that this is going to go on Telivision with no real explaination as what its actually about , do you think her retarded little monsters or anyone else is going to get it? its bullshit and insensitive, there is violence in movies but they have a rating and even if she did it on tour live its her fucking sho and you’ve come to see it so fair enough but on national telivision where you have no choice but to see this awful, crass piece of nonsence just to show off some fuckin perfume! I’m finally convinced that this bitxh is the devil!

Is this the same irrelevant bitch that faked a injury to get out of performing at empty stadiums?
Isn’t this the same hoe that pushed her album back so it would be excluded from the 2014 Grammys to avoid competing against Beyonce and Adele?

Well, what do you all actually expect from me?
I’m an ATTENTION-SEEKER, more so than an artist, an always will be.
I’ve stolen from “Madonna, Grace Jones, Debbie Harry, Freddie Mercury, Prince, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Elton John” and COUNTLESS other Pop-Icons, of which I desperately want to be, but I’ve bwen caught out – therefore, meaning, that there is nothing left for me to do because I know that my 15 minutes are soon up.
After ‘Art-FLOP’ FLOPS, what am I going to do?
I can’t wear any more meat-dresses, bird cages on my head, mermaid suits, goat horns or any other Pop-Memorabilia because the world has seen it all and they are getting tired of me. *Wipes Tear*.
My ‘Flop this Flop ball’s FLOPPED and I was effortlessly slated by Adele and Madonna in 2011-2012 by Adele and QUEEN MADONNA, even after dressing as a male crack addict at the VMAS, and I ended up making an excuse regarding a ‘Hip-Injury, just to save myself embarrasment in 2013.
I am a NARCISSISTIC FLOP who really doesn’t give a shit about the Gay community – why would I want to support male Dick suckers?
I am running out of ideas… Please help me? Beyhive, Navy, Fighters, Katy Cats… HELP. I need you.

I’ll defend Gaga since none of y’all ignorant n****z will.
First of all this is not a New Fame Ad, it’s a Pulled Ad that wasn’t featured with the real one.
Gaga’s ad for the fame promo had ended. Don’t believe every bashful queen gossip you see on this site.
And lastly why is it that Sam only shows the bad or controversy of Gaga but never her
Humanitarian efforts? She went around the world promoting peace and visiting hospitals and orphanages while
His faves spent their years popping pussy and begging for dollars. Where’s the justice or truth in this site?

we’ve seen much more disturbing in movies that nobody boycotts, so there should be no issue with this, especially considering that they intentionally let viewers know the guns are symbolic, and it’s not a literal message.

The only thing she killed in this video was her credibility. She does whatever serves her purpose, even if it contradicts her core messages about love and peace. Lucky for her, her fans will make excuses to keep supporting any and everything she dishes out.

Like I said, her fans would make excuses. The dark side of fame, as you put it, is a reality. We live in a time that people are seeking fame and letting their dark sides materialize into what we saw in Aurora and Newtown. With that reality staring you in the face, how can justify this ad from someone who wants you believe she’s a symbol of peace, love and acceptance? It’s a joke.

you Americans know nothing about Violence.
this is art , art has no boundaries , where there’s good , there’s evil and violence , you just can’t be blinded by the good , you also should be aware of the bad side to everything , that is what she wanted to say in her own WAY , FAME has it’s advantages and disadvantages , and after those Melissa/Ciara , Keri hilson/Beyhive posts earlier you should be aware of the bad face of fame !!
different versions of this ad tells a story , and it requires a strong mind to analyse them all , Gaga always make music videos for ppl who think , she won’t give you a J.Lo kind of a perfume ad , that’s gaga , if you like mysterious shit , you gonna love it , if you like the obvious , you have britney and katy.
i do not find anything wrong in it except for there are a lot of ways to get your idea across without resorting to shit like that, however reality of FAME has violence in it and she just said that , so…

This woman is amazing. She is ART. If this is accepted in movies, then it will be acceptable for anyone else, as well. And that’s why it was done, because it can.
This is a message. A message for the ‘dark side’ of fame.
And PS, if you’re disturbed by this video or find it offensive, then you should have never watched it. It goes to show anyone will do anything just to make a big deal out of nothing.
