Here, I was intrigued. And aside from the sexual middle part, which I felt was random and unfitting, the video was engaging. I have to side with Reaper, I'm wondering what commentary comes about from this. Also, there are people that seriously can't see the German-ness of the video? I'm calling Poe's Law on Useful Idiot.

GaGa has stated that one aspect of this video is the "purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I've been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love—it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends—but they just don't want me to be with them."

In no way meant to hi-jack, but it's Gaga news not worthy of its own thread, IMO:

I'd like to see you go further into that argument, which may have merit. If I understand you correctly you see the video's imagery as not having a cohesive artistic purpose; that the video is composed of a hodgepodge of striking images that don't come together to say anything?

Well, it isn't academic.. but the folks at Vigilant Citizen are up in arms on it with lots of batshit paranoid (yet crazily plausible) interpretations:
