Born to play Farmville.

Let me preface this post by stating that I do not play Farmville, nor will I ever play Farmville.  I find people’s addiction to it fascinating – Farmville is like cyber crack.  Correction:  it’s not really fascinating, just sad.

So I was completely surprised when I read the following headline:

Lady Gaga and FarmVille team up for ‘GagaVille

Yes, that’s right.  Lady Gaga – the current “trendsetter” who preaches about being you, being born this way, being in love with Judas, and how she’s half motorcycle-half human – is selling out to FARMVILLE, for christ’s sake.  WHAT A SAD DAY FOR THE LITTLE MONSTERS…sad like a day without Farmville crops, if you will.

According to the article, “players will now get to interact with a Lady Gaga-inspired farm full of unicorns, crystals, and…leather clad-sheep. “Lady Gaga is as passionate about her fans as we are about our players,” said Zynga’s Raquel DiSabatino, director of entertainment and media. “This really was a great meeting of the minds to create an innovative and playful experience for those folks.”

Now, let me make it clear: I do not like Lady Gaga and yet this reeks of desperation to me.  Even as a non-fan, I am offended that this wannabe “groundbreaking” artist is selling herself out to something as inane and idiotic as Farmville.  Pretty soon she’ll turn into a waste of space like Katy Perry.  Whatever happened to just putting out good music without the gimmicks and marketing?  Oh, that’s right, the music industry sold its soul to the devil long ago…

You've always sucked, but now you suck just a little bit more.

About Voula (http://expatuncensored.com)

I'm a 31-year old woman living in beautiful Nafplio, Greece for the past two years. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and lived there up until the big move two years ago. Lets just say I'm an Oak-town girl at heart. I'm also a Greek girl at heart. And so that's a challenge. My brain may live in Greece but it still thinks in English - it makes things very interesting. I live with my younger brother in our parent's house in Nafplio and four months out of the year we revert back to teenagers when my parents visit the homeland for the summer. Talk about a life-altering situation. I also have a younger sister who is newly married and newly pregnant. We all look normal from the outside, but just like any family, we have our internal craziness going on. I work seasonally at a seaside hotel in Tolo, Greece. By "seasonally"I mean I work May-October and I sit on my fancy little butt the rest of the year. It is, as we would say in California, a pretty sweet gig. I try not to take things too seriously, I don't have too much patience for ridiculous people who try to dictate your life. I like quiet, I've never been much of a party girl and really am in awe of people who can just go go go without ever stopping to take a breather. I started this blog as a creative outlet for me to vent, express, observe, share, and perhaps even over-share (as I'm prone to do). Hopefully it will amuse you, interest you, or at the very least make you thank the Heavens that your mind isn't as twisted as mine.
