Part 3: Lady Gaga's mental health exploitation

Previous

To her credit, there will be professional counselors on board, along with music, dance, etc. Lady Gag wants to make therapy "fun," but this stunt is low, disgusting, and should be immediately denounced by true mental health professionals.

The most disgusting part about Lady Gaga's latest quest for relevance is that -- once again -- she is telling her fans that they are victims and in order to get better, they have to go seek therapy on a Lady Gaga-branded bus at one of her concerts. This stinks of marketing gone wrong and makes Lady Gaga appear to be the most shameless self promoter ever.

What will these kids learn? Will they find out how to acquire millions of fake Twitter followers? Will they learn that doing drugs on stage is a great thing? Will they learn that when they don't have enough people attending one of their performances, they should just lie about it? Will they take after one of Gaga's employees by bullying people for being older?

The argument is that if Lady Gaga's new 'Therapy' bus tour helps one person, then the effort is worthwhile. However, just the idea of this pathetic publicity stunt causes far more damage than good. However, the most damaging thing about Lady Gaga and her attempt to brainwash insecure people is the fact that the mainstream media and mental health professionals refuse to speak out against it.
