where I live as an artist and that is

Telephone music video
A by-the-numbers guide to the record-setting, controversial music video posted on March 16, 2010, at 2:17 PM
Shortly after Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' music video hit YouTube Thursday, the blogosphere literally couldn't shut up about the
controversial telecommunications-themed short. While some debated whether MTV might ban it from airwaves (no), more
wonkish types engaged in deep analysis over the Technicolor extravaganza's potential meaning and its pop-cultural references.
Here, a by-the-numbers look at the 'Telephone' phenomenon:
9½
Length of the "spectacle," in minutes
9
Number of product placement moments in 'Telephone," including: HeartBeats headphones (1:34), Virgin Mobile cell phones
(2:07), Chanel sunglasses (2:17) Diet Coke (2:22) dating website PlentyOfFish.com (4:27) Hewlett-Packard (4:24), Polaroid (5:45)
Wonder Bread (6:35) and Miracle Whip (6:38).
2
Number of Gaga family members present or invoked: Sister, Natali, 17, appears as the Gaga's "true persona," Stefani
Germanotta (2:37); When Gaga uses Diet Coke cans as curlers (2:22), she's referencing a trick her mother employed when
"there were no rollers in the house."
10
Number of costume changes Gaga undergoes. Outfits include: A padlock-draped swimsuit (worn with sunglasses seemingly
fabricated from lit cigarettes), a scanty number consisting entirely of crime scene tape, a leopard catsuit (reportedly, a nod to
Shania Twain), and a diaphanous burka-inspired dress.
45
Number of pop culture allusions, according to MTV's "Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video: Pop Culture Cheat Sheet" (Parts I and
II), including: Captain America and Wonder Woman, "pop-art trailblazer" Andy Warhol, pop superstars Michael Jackson and
Madonna, and blockbuster movies "Natural Born Killers" and "Thelma and Louise."
1
Reference to real-world rumors that Gaga might be a hermaphrodite. One prison guard comments to another that Gaga's
character is a physically normal woman.
128,19,403 (and counting)
Number of views the official Gaga YouTube video received since it debuted late on March 11. (Her co-star Beyonce's "Single
Ladies" video, considered a smash hit, has received 152,367,559 views since hitting airwaves in October 2008.)
Comparison with other texts

  • 27. Telephone music video A by-the-numbers guide to the record-setting, controversial music video posted on March 16, 2010, at 2:17 PM Shortly after Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' music video hit YouTube Thursday, the blogosphere literally couldn't shut up about the controversial telecommunications-themed short. While some debated whether MTV might ban it from airwaves (no), more wonkish types engaged in deep analysis over the Technicolor extravaganza's potential meaning and its pop-cultural references. Here, a by-the-numbers look at the 'Telephone' phenomenon: 9½ Length of the "spectacle," in minutes 9 Number of product placement moments in 'Telephone," including: HeartBeats headphones (1:34), Virgin Mobile cell phones (2:07), Chanel sunglasses (2:17) Diet Coke (2:22) dating website PlentyOfFish.com (4:27) Hewlett-Packard (4:24), Polaroid (5:45) Wonder Bread (6:35) and Miracle Whip (6:38). 2 Number of Gaga family members present or invoked: Sister, Natali, 17, appears as the Gaga's "true persona," Stefani Germanotta (2:37); When Gaga uses Diet Coke cans as curlers (2:22), she's referencing a trick her mother employed when "there were no rollers in the house." 10 Number of costume changes Gaga undergoes. Outfits include: A padlock-draped swimsuit (worn with sunglasses seemingly fabricated from lit cigarettes), a scanty number consisting entirely of crime scene tape, a leopard catsuit (reportedly, a nod to Shania Twain), and a diaphanous burka-inspired dress. 45 Number of pop culture allusions, according to MTV's "Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video: Pop Culture Cheat Sheet" (Parts I and II), including: Captain America and Wonder Woman, "pop-art trailblazer" Andy Warhol, pop superstars Michael Jackson and Madonna, and blockbuster movies "Natural Born Killers" and "Thelma and Louise." 1 Reference to real-world rumors that Gaga might be a hermaphrodite. One prison guard comments to another that Gaga's character is a physically normal woman. 128,19,403 (and counting) Number of views the official Gaga YouTube video received since it debuted late on March 11. (Her co-star Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video, considered a smash hit, has received 152,367,559 views since hitting airwaves in October 2008.)
