Lady Gaga Wants Dead Bodies as Stage Props on Monster Tour

Recall Ann Althouse prevously: "You think the new issue of Rolling Stone is tough on General McChrystal, but how do you think Lady Gaga feels?"

Yeah. It's tough being upstaged by the Commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan, and while boasting those double-barrel machine-gun breasts, no less.

So here comes the next ante up, "LADY GAGA has come up with a way to make her live shows even more shocking - having dead bodies on stage."

The singer is teaming up with corpse-preserving scientist GUNTHER VON HAGENS to spice up her already blood-soaked Monster Ball Tour.

German doctor Von Hagens is a controversial figure who has outraged boffins with his Body Worlds exhibition of dead people.

Yep. More here and Confirmed at Von Hagens' website, "ANATOMIST DR. GUNTHER VON HAGENS RESPONDS TO REPORT OF COLLABORATION WITH LADY GAGA..."

But check the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

"It would be good to top this tour - which is already out there - with something nobody has done before, using dead bodies as part of a gig."

No one’s fed baby seals onstage into a Cuisinart blender either, but that doesn’t mean it has to be done. The idea of using laminated corpses as stage props is probably a line we didn’t need to cross, because Gaga will have to top that next tour, possibly by gassing members of her adoring audience. She’ll call it youth-anizing!
