Page Six:
Even Lady Gaga has limits - and putting her name on ice cream made from human breast milk appears to cross them.
The most outrageous pop star on the planet is suing a London ice-cream shop for trademark infringement after it began selling a flavor of ice cream called Baby Gaga made from human milk.
"She's acting like a big baby who is crying over spilled breast milk," said Matt O'Connor, owner of The Icecreamists.
"And this is coming from the woman who wears the flesh of rotting cows as an awards-show gown."
Gaga has demanded that the ice cream parlor immediately change the name or stop selling it altogether, and her lawyers called the ice cream "deliberately provocative and, to many people, nausea-inducing."
They also complain that the frosty treat is served by a waitress dressed to look like Lady Gaga.
OFFICIAL RESPONSE: Lady GaGa Vs The Icecreamists:
The fact that the world?s biggest superstar is now prosecuting the world?s smallest ice cream parlour, is akin to the actions of a big baby, rocking in a corner with some wet wipes crying over spilt milk. In this case, breast milk. It is worth noting that this ice cream was on sale for just a few hours before it was banned by Westminster Council, so it?s not as if its been a best seller for a parlour where the paint is barely dry and the doors open just over a week. Nobody seems to have told her it is no longer for sale. Yet a global superstar has taken umbrage at what she describes as a ?nausea-inducing? product. This from a woman with a penchant for wearing rotting cows flesh. At least our customers are still alive when they contribute to our ?art?. Perhaps I?ll deliver my response wearing a fillet steak jockstrap, celebrating the fact that it is mothers milk which has weaned humanity for thousands of years and it is the drinking of milk destined for the calves of other mammals which is in fact questionable.She claims we have ?ridden the coattails? of her reputation. As someone who has plagiarised and recycled on an industrial scale, the entire back catalogue of pop-culture to create her look, music and videos, she might want to re-consider this allegation. How can she possibly claim ownership of the word ?gaga? which since the dawn of time has been one of the first discernible phrases to come from a baby?s mouth. This is why we chose the name. She owns no rights in the primal utterances of our children.
