Judas

If you haven't noticed already, I am quite the avid little monster...or, for those not familiar in Lady GaGa vernacular, I am a huge fan of Lady GaGa. So naturally, it was very traumatic for me when I was told on Thursday that her new music video for her song "Judas" had been released, and my little brother had seen it before me!

What these people don't realize is that her music, videos, fashion, and overall image are works of carefully planned art. "Judas" specifically is a beautiful video full of hidden meanings. It is not intended to offend religious groups--instead, it uses religion as a metaphor to explore society, culture, and pop culture.
