It's ridiculously hilarious. Like seeing the entire Kiss band shopping at Walmart for socks and underwear, while dressed in their costumes.
Admittedly, I've seen stranger things at Walmart...
I don't mind at all that Lady Gaga wore whatever she wanted to at the Mets' game...essentially a bikini (with coat...and then without). I see her as challenging the assumption that women need to be fully clothed to be respectable. And I see her as challenging the tendency of society to judge people, especially women, based on their clothing.

Also, why would someone want to look like everyone else, anyway? Conformity as a goal? Yuck.

I think people who are afraid to be different dislike those who aren't afraid, because others' boldness makes them face the unpleasant truth of their own fear. And if they dislike feeling distracted by someone's appearance, then they should blame their own lack of attention control rather than blame the person they can't keep their eyes off of. I like that Lady Gaga is bold, sometimes humorously so.

Also, Freebase, I'd think you'd be immune to seeing flashes of flesh, given that you've got Mardi Gras and all those goings-on down there.

Ha ha! Agreed, Tumor! (Although I wouldn't want anyone cussing someone out. I don't mind people being nearly nude, though. I just want them to have something on their tush when they sit down, so that fecal matter doesn't get on surfaces.)
