Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Album Banned In Lebanon

Lady Gaga's religious firestorm may have blown over in the United States, but the government of Lebanon found it so enflaming that they've banned the popstar's new album from the country's stores.

Multiple reports say that the Lebanese government impounded shipments of "Born This Way," the already-platinum album due to its alleged insults to Christianity and its all around "bad taste."

The Lebanese government has made clear their distaste in Gaga, having already banned her single "Judas" from the airwaves. That song caused a brief ruckus in the United States, too, as conservative religious leaders, including those from the Catholic League, initially protested the song's lyrics and pending video.

"This is a stunt... Lady Gaga tries to continue to shock Catholics and Christians in general: she dresses as a nun... she swallows the rosary. She has now morphed into a caricature of herself," Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a statement before the video came out.

He then sang a somewhat different tune, waving off the video as a mess and incoherent.

According to Metro UK, the song "Born This Way" was banned from radio play by the government of Malaysia, too. In response to that banning, Gaga, responded, "What I would say is for all the young people in Malaysia that want those words to be played on the radio, it is your job and it is your duty as young people to have your voices heard."

"Born This Way" went platinum in its first week out, selling 1.1 million copies in the United States alone.

As with everything... sometimes the message is what they fear the most. Any excuse to ban something will be used.

I like her. I like her in the face attitude.

Her songs are great for dancing in the club however when you ban something, it just makes people want it more. Just like teens and alcohol here in the US, drinking is banned for anyone under 21 so that just makes kids want it more and seek it out.

You are correct, female empowerment is a big issue over there especially when they have Hezbollah pretty much running the show.
