Looking to Rip Off Lady Gaga? At Least Don’t Make her Gag

March 8th, 2011. By LucyC

Gag me—Baby Gaga Milk just Ain’t Right. Just when you thought the news couldn’t get any weirder…Wrong. That is if we’re talking ‘entertainment news.’ This story involves Lady Gaga—the latest harbinger of all that is cool. She has filed a lawsuit against the Icecreamists—an ice cream parlor in London (UK)—over their recently introduced “Baby Gaga” brand of ice cream which is made from human breast milk. 

Just what exactly is wrong with the petroleum by-product most of us have been happily consuming for decades? 

But hey—it’s not the source of the ice cream that’s the problem, but the name, which Lady G reportedly claims in her suit, is ‘riding on the coattails’ of the singer. Isn’t that a mixed metaphor? 

Anyway, the owner of the Icecreamists sees things differently—stating that he thinks of the new ice cream flavor as a tribute to the 24-year old pop icon. “We named it ‘Baby Gaga’ because she’s the queen of ‘shock and roll,'” O’Connor told AOL News when the flavor was introduced February 25.

And he’s embracing the controversy—after all—there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Given that the ice cream was only on sale for a few hours before it was confiscated by Westminster City Council, O’Connor’s going to need all publicity he can get—coz it won’t be the Baby Gaga ice cream that’s generating sales.

So—it’s infringement of intellectual property that’s at issue here, although Lady Gaga isn’t keen on the idea of human breast milk ice cream—calling it ‘nausea inducing.’ Kind of ironic given that she’s turned up for a public event in a dress made of meat. Maybe these two should get together and open a catering business. 

All in the Family at the Police Station. Another shocking tale from Old Blighty—this one’s about a father who was arrested for slapping his boy in the head. It just so happened that the father was at the police station dealing with his son who was in the custody of the police having been arrested in South London for burglary. So the police slapped the father in handcuffs as well. 

The boy is 13-years old—guess he knows what he wants to do when he grows up. Or, maybe that’s already happened. 

They Missed Babysitting for Dummies. Meanwhile, back in the US—the police arrested a man and woman who were supposedly looking after a two-year old boy and a four-month old girl as a favor to the mother who was attending a parenting class.

It seems that her boyfriend’s father and sister lost interest in looking after the kids, because the two-year old was found walking alone into traffic —with cars coming at him—in Charleroi, PA. Luckily the boy wasn’t hurt, and the mother wasn’t charged…I guess one of the first things you need to learn as a new parent is who to trust. 

No Point in Lying when you’re Holding the Evidence. As for this guy—I guess he figured if he’s going down what’s he got to lose? Native Ohioan Stephen Supers was pulled over for drinking and driving—a charge which he didn’t bother denying—as he took a swig from an open beer chilling in the passenger seat. Apparently, when asked by the police officer if he’d been drinking, he cheerfully responded “Yes!” What the heck, eh? 

The Ol’ Banana Peel Slip & Fall… And finally, life is apparently imitating art (or at least cliche)—a woman in California is in the process of suing a 99cent store for personal injury, claiming she slipped on a banana peel and hurt herself. Ok – I’ve seen that somewhere else… 

Apparently she’s already turned down a settlement offer of $44,000—holding out for the big bucks. Come to think of it, wasn’t that a Bugs Bunny routine?
