Lady Gaga angered Little Monsters all over Thailand on Thursday when she tweeted, "I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex." Though she made a similar comment about Hong Kong when she toured there, many Thai fans took it as an insult.

According to Yahoo!, Thai people wrote things like: "We are more civilized than you think," and "She came to our home, but instead of admiring us she insulted us." One fan even wrote, "Welcome to the land of counterfeit products, love. I'm sure there are plenty of fake Gaga CDs, too." Do you think Lady Gaga's comment was insensitive, or just a harmless remark?

Was the movie "Hangover 2" as controversial? It made Bangkok look like a wild place to party! The only reason people make a fuss over Lady Gaga is because she looks and acts "weirder" than the usual pop star.

That's not exactly the kind of comment one should make when one wants to endear themselves to a fan base who have spent money purchasing tickets to your concert. I hope those fans tell Lady Gaga that they want their money back so they can go buy a real Rolex.

Yes, you do have a point there. I guess it was a bit disrespectful when you consider it's the fans who make her rich.

It was offensive because it's like assuming all black people use Ultra-Sheen, etc.. Wow, the grey hair looks 'fantastic' LG :|

Thats the way it is over their. My sister goes to Vietnam every other Christmas with her Ballet company. She comes back with all sorts of fake stuff. the big thing is Bootleg movies. She brings home current movies selling for 1$

Their just made because she said told the truth brought it out to the light of day.

Your explanation for why it was not offesive is muuuch more offensive that the actual statement.

not really. if you let every little comment get to you, you'll always find one thing or another to feel offended about.

Thai's need to take a long hard look at themselves in a mirror,Lady Gaga was only relating to public opinion when she made that comment.It's long been known that if you want something imitated to sell at a reduced price on the open market then Thailand is just one of many places that make it available.

Because this is the land of the sheep. Where being different is a good excuse for murder, abuse and other travesties. You think bullying only happens in school? Are you in for a shock. Only reason celebrities like Lady Gaga can be is because she's rich and popular. And this is not just one country, it's like this all over the world.

Well, yes, but she is spot on. The chinese should feel nothing but shame. They are tacky rip-off artists and need to face the music! But all they would do is burn it on an illegally mastered CD. It is beyond a stereotype...it's 80% true!
