Chromatica Island 8,517 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's in the middle of the city and it's real life, so it doesn't cheapen it, this didn't need a cheap thread. Any/All Pronouns, Genderfluid🏳⚧ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG are her initials and the slogan "Life's Good" while she's laying on the ground and dying is a really, really strong message on how corporations ignore the bad and focus on the good - something that is actively happening right now regarding the pandemic. I'm not sure if this is how LG wanted their advertisement to go, but it works. It also has the image of a man on the horse in the background - the same man that's in the start of the video. It's honestly genius of her Any/All Pronouns, Genderfluid🏳⚧ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 74,051 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Did y'all hate the product placement this much in Telephone? I thought it was beautifully ironic. It's actually a clever use of product placement. #1. She crashed in the middle of the street near movie theatre, so of course there's going to be advertisements everywhere #2. LG could also stand far "Lady Gaga." #3. The irony of "life's good" when she's screaming in pain after almost dying is hauntingly beautiful. ᗰᗩYᕼEᗰ || 🦇👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lippoutou 4,519 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Earlier one member noted that it could refer to her fame. From the outside, you could imagine that the life of a superstar such as Lady Gaga is all shining and something to envy (life's good). Meanwhile in her head it really just looks like the accident scene and people fail to see it because they cling onto the superficial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bok 264 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 We also have to remember that Lady Gaga is a pop artist and pop art in it's core is advertisement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The members of the Haus often call Gaga 'LG' and the LG slogan being life's good is just perfectly ironic. I'm surprised a company this big would agree to a video treatment like this, bravo to them. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne 591 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I think "LG Life is good" also is self-parody that refers to people who think her life is perfect just because she is Lady Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz 6,024 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 When I see the brand LG, I always think about LG collaborating with our LG in a way... Now it happened. Life's Good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonkey 639 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It’s kinda like we get why but it is distracting and takes away the emotional impact of the ending. I felt like they could have done it any time through the video especially since most of the shots were static so it would be less bothersome if it was just placed behind them like a set piece or as a cutaway. I don’t mind product placements as I understand it’s they videos get funded but they could’ve done it more subtle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
