Lady Gaga's Judas

For an hour and a half after I woke up today, I was convinced it was Monday.

It is Sunday, isn't it?

Checks calender and cell phone.

Yep, Sunday. Blerg.

Watched Lady Gaga's Judas video. To be honest, I don't understand it. I mean, I get the basic premise - Dude with the crown of thorns represents Jesus and dude in the biker jacket that has Judas written on the back is, obviously, Judas... so I'm guessing that would make Gaga Mary Magdalene? But then, why was she running around in a blue hooded, fringed, cropped, leather jacket that made her look a tiny bit like a demented Virgin Mary?

I admit, I'm not a religious scholar, but I don't remember ever hearing about the torrid love triangle between Jesus, Mary Madgalene and Judas. Or her apparent stoning to death for the sin of wearing bad fake hair. Of course, I could be misinterpreting the reason for the stoning, it was just a guess. Perhaps it had something to do with the fugly shoes she was wearing?

I understood the imagery of Gaga washing Jesus' feet by hand, but I'm afraid I totally missed the point of Judas pouring beer on Gaga's butt.
