– Look, look! Lady Gaga is doing a thing! She is wearing sunglasses made out of cigarettes!
– But isn’t that actually kind of–
– No time, no time! She’s doing a new thing now, a dance! Look! She’s doing a dance with Beyonce! And now she’s wearing a dress made of meat! Look! Actual meat! She’s covered in actual meat!
