I find it interesting that people are so quick to criticize Gaga for not "respecting" some country's pseudo-theocratic government "values", when those same pseudo-theocratic governments won't even respect the individual liberties of their own citizens. "Homosexual acts" are criminal offenses in Malaysia. You call it a disgrace on Gaga, I call it a disgrace on Malaysia. I think the whole censorship controversy is one of the reasons why she wanted to write Born This Way. If being "culturally insensitive" is a reason you want to bash her, fine. I think there are far better reasons to criticize her, but whatever floats your boat.
