Lady Gaga says she's "not a piece of meat"

LOS ANGELES – Lady Gaga said the controversial "meat" dress she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards was intended to make a statement.
Winning eight prizes at Sunday's ceremony, the glam pop performance artist chose to accept one of her statuettes wearing nothing but a raw, red meat dress with a matching purse, that became one of the most talked about moments of the televised show.
"If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones," Lady Gaga, 24, told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her TV program broadcast on Monday.
"And, I am not a piece of meat," she added.
Sunday's outfit comes on the heels of a meat bikini Gaga donned for the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan's September issue. It was one of several different costumes the singer wore on Sunday, including one that looked like a large black trash bag.
Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said that "wearing a dress made from cuts of dead cows is offensive enough to bring comment."
Lady Gaga told DeGeneres she meant no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian, and called herself "the most judgement free human being on the earth."
Honestly, I think PETA should probably be thanking Lady Gaga because I'm pretty sure I'm a vegetarian now. There's no way I'm going to be able to enjoy a patty melt at work this week without seeing her mouse face and sirloin body. What a disgusting waste of time she is. And she can cut the shit about trying to make a statement. That explanation is one of the most incoherant and vague things I've ever read in my life. The truth is she wear a dress made out of Artie Lange's asshair if people would give her attention.
