The Born This Way Ball tour might be delighting tons of little monsters overseas, but there are others who aren’t so happy with Lady Gaga‘s latest stage show. According to WENN,
an official at Thailand’s Culture Ministry has berated Lady Gaga over
her use of Thailand’s national flag during a performance in Bangkok last
month.
During her song ‘Heavy Metal Lover,’ Gaga transforms into the
motocycle that appears on the cover of ‘Born This Way.’ Whilst
performing the Top Gaga Song
at the Born This Way Ball stop in Bangkok, Mother Monster tied
Thailand’s flag to the back of the human motorbike and rode around the
stage. And in usual Gaga form, she was wearing next-to-nothing as the
flag waved behind her.
Speaking to the Associated Press, the official at Thailand’s Culture
Ministry said that Gaga’s use of the nation’s flag was “not appropriate
and hurt the feelings of the Thai people.” You can see a video of her
waving the Thai flag during ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ below.
While we aren’t shocked by Gaga’s behavior one bit, we’d advise her
to check out the cultural no-no’s of a country before doing anything
drastic or that could be seen as offensive.
Gaga’s Born This Way Ball has come under lots of fire during the
Asian leg of the tour. This news follows the cancellation of her gig in
Indonesia and her upsetting the people of Thailand by tweeting about
purchasing an illegal watch in the streets of the country.
