Pop star Lady Gaga created controversy and outrage when she marched onto a stage in Vancouver wearing a bra with plastic machine guns attached to each cup. The singer has always been a self-proclaimed deviant. “A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does,” she said once, “so I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage – what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.”
But this time she may have gone too far, as some are calling her unique garb insensitive in the midst of the fiery gun control debate that has engulfed the political and social fabric of the country in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre.
Although it is not the first time she has been seen wearing the bra, the timing of her appearance has ruffled feathers.
“Why haven’t you, as a responsible young woman, said, ‘No violence on my website, no violence, no threats, [and]no violence’?” Sharon Osbourne said. “However, everything is guns, guns, guns … Cut to her first performance on this new tour. She’s wearing two guns coming out of her breasts.”
Lady Gaga has yet to comment on the criticism.
