"But Gaga isn't telling a story about disability. She's not portraying or mimicking people with disabilities. I don't really think she's even making a statement about disability, and if she is, it's not a negative one. If she's sending the message that a wheelchair is a liberating solution to a mobility impairment, whether it's a disability or a big black vinyl mermaid tail, I reckon that serves us wheelchair users pretty well." www.abc.net.au/rampup/articles/2011/07/15/3270307.htm |

I think when Lady Gaga decides what to do during a performance, she just picks the most ridiculous things she can think of. One day its a fountain squirting blood, one day its an elephant playing piano, and now it is apparently a mermaid in a wheelchair.
Like the person Ruth quoted, I dont think there is any artistic message or statement here about disability, so I dont see anything to be offended about.

I don't think there is any artistic message in anything she does. I think her talent is at being a phenomenal publicity whore. Everything she does is for one simple thing.... revenue.

She was in one of those old school hospital wheelchairs with the huge metal armrests.....i dont think if she was a real pretender she would have used one of those.
Also does anyone remember her publicity stunt where she said she amputated one of her legs? It was short lived because everyone realized it wasn't true but made me think......she does like the shock factor but it often seems to be visual and/or disability related. Is her stuff like Seinfeld (for the attention grabbing) or true dev/pretender related stuff?
