Lady Gaga's Music Video, "alejandro" Should Be Banned

Lady Gaga's MV glorifies immoral values and make them appear to be neutral

Firstly throughout the entire video, Gaga often wears nothing more than a bikini and the male dancers are always half naked. This seems to promote the notion that wearing skimpy clothing is acceptable. But this is entirely untrue, especially for the vulnerable young fans who adore Gaga. Children who are clad "sexily" due to Gaga's influence are not only appalling but also clearly exemplify how Gaga's actions can manipulate the susceptible of the society in a very negative way. The young fans of Gaga, especially the girls, would not understand that being dressed in such a way actually disrespects their own body. Being so absorbed in idolizing Gaga, the children would not think that they are in fact imposing a sexually objectified role upon themselves through their racy outfits. Young girls should not turn into sex objects nor evaluate themselves according to a sexualized model of feminine physical attractiveness. However, being exposed to Gaga's MV makes them confront the issue of sexual identity at a very young age, hence it is far more easy for them to have a misconception of sexual identities. Besides, being so skimpily clad merely results in children being more vulnerable to pedophiles and sex trafficking. Clearly, neither Gaga nor the children's parents care to protect or correct the minds of these naïve children; hence the MV must be banned to prevent corroding more immature minds.

Secondly, the MV seems to suggest that using a female's body as a tool to satisfy others is acceptable. In the MV, Gaga is confronted by a group of gays who molests her before Gaga finally strips in front of them. This sensual solution is both disturbing and immoral. Instead of using upright means of solving problems, Gaga chooses to give in to the distorted minds of the men featured. Upon absorbing this subliminal meaning, immature minds would think that such unsettling actions are not only correct but also useful. Besides, they may have the mistaken belief that sexually harassing others is normal. It would be difficult for the young to realize that there are more morally correct and practical ways of solving their problems, hence this MV should be banned.

Thirdly, Gaga seems to portray the taboos in the Singapore society as tolerable and commonplace. She has guns as part of her bikini and her male actors have guns strapped to them too. This causes weapons forbidden in Singapore to appear ordinary and even cool. Gaga is typically liked for her catchy music but when she fuses that with very detrimental stuff, the whole experience of watching the MV becomes tainted with immorality. Besides Gaga mimics someone who smokes twice in the video. Smoking is not only banned in Singapore but also causes adverse health effects. However, Gaga seems to glorify the act of smoking. Although some might argue those
