Corean Christians Castigate Controversial Concert Content

Lady Gaga tour starts in Seoul with adults-only concert
US pop star Lady Gaga has kicked off her Born This Way Ball tour with a concert in Seoul that fans under the age of 18 were forbidden to attend.

Protests in the South Korean capital prompted authorities to make the gig an adults-only event earlier this month.

A small group of Christians staged a rally outside Seoul's Olympic Stadium, where around 45,000 fans saw the singer perform hits like Poker Face and Judas.

The tour will resume on 2 May with the first of four dates in Hong Kong.

Activists in Seoul have been protesting over the concert for weeks, claiming the singer was "obscene" and could "taint" young people.

A group calling itself the Civilians Network against the Lady Gaga Concert said her performance was "too homosexual and pornographic".
Hehehehehe hehe hehehehehehehehe hehe hehe hehe hehehehe...

hehehehe hehe hehehehehehehe...

You said "taint"... hehe hehe hehe...

Why don't we have Korean Kristians, as well as Korny?

Conservative Koreans casually spell 'Korean' 'Corean', and Christian Koreans/Coreans are commonly conservatives.

Just so you know.

Well, any publicity ...

Probably made even more people attend the show. :hehe:

I do agree with them that lady gaga is obscene. I don't think it is her crimes against music that are bothering the fundies though
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I saw "Percy Jackson" and didn't know that was her song in the casino sequence. :levi:

In all seriousness, as far as I can tell she's been a good influence on young people. Yeah, she's odd, but so what? The few songs I've heard are about kindness and acceptance and are against bullying and such, which is a message that young people need to hear. I think the world needs more voices like hers.
