The Christian Post > Entertainment|Sat, Jun. 04 2011 02:09 PM EDT Lady Gaga 'Born This Way' Album Banned in Lebanon as 'Offensive to Christianity'
Music sensation Lady Gaga’s latest album Born This Way has been banned in Lebanon for being “offensive to Christianity.” Despite the CD topping album charts in 21 countries, Lebanon has determined that the album contents were sufficiently offensive to impose the ban. Thousands of copies of the album were shipped to the Middle Eastern country this week, but were intercepted and immediately impounded by authorities. The General Secretary Department has reportedly said the albums have been impounded on grounds of taste. www.christianpost.com/news/la...tianity-50844/Just heard this like 10 min on the radio and then searched online. On the radio they were talking about judas and how many radio station also boycott the song and how offensive the lyrics are "I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby it's so cruel But I'm still in love with Judas, baby,Jesus is my virtue And Judas is the demon I cling to"

This doesn't surprise me one bit; this is what happens when nations are essentially run by religions. I'm not here to say if the album is offensive to Christianity or not because it probably is. I just hate the fact that people in that country can't decide for themselves.
I hate the thought of not having control of my entertainment, and feel very sorry for the people Lebanon.

Yea, I can say that it was bound to happen and it won't suprise me at all if other countries would join them. I can see Braziel doing the same since more then 80% is Christian there.

Yeah, but Brazil is a democratic nation though. So it'd be pretty hard for such a mainstream piece of entertainment to be banned.
