Lady Gaga’s Cockroach Hat

Yeah, I wanna wear a couple hundred of these things on my head.First, it was the meat dress.  Then there were the penis pumps (shoes, people).  Now she’s going to unveil a hat made of cockroaches.

This creative decision was informed by a study on the behavior of cucarachas conducted by engineering students in New York.  First, they played a Weezer to a bunch of roaches.  They didn’t move.  Then they tried seranading them with metal.  Nothing.

But when they played Lady Gaga, the little buggers started moving and grooving all of the place.  This “dancing” is what has inspired Gaga to come up with a hat made of what she calls “her real life monsters.” Presumably, they’ll be dead before they meet their millinery fate.

There’s got to be some jokes and clever snide comments in here somewhere.  Give if your best shot.
