Is it my imagination or has Zizek become the Marshall McLuhan of Marxism?


Apparently it's all a hoax:

Maybe I'm too cynical, but this sounds like interwebz hoaxing. Googling 
"Communism Knows No Monster" turns up an apparently original posting on 
a site that isn't Zizek's blog. I don't think he even has one.

Lady Gaga has struck up a strong friendship with mysterious Marxist Slavoj Zizek, dubbed "the world's hippest 
philosopher."In the midst of her rift with long-term boyfriend Luc Carl, eyebrows were raised over Gaga's 
decision to spend a lot of time with the 62-year-old, bearded, postmodern theorist and pal of Julian Assange while 
she was touring the UK and US this spring.MORE: GAGA'S EGO RUINED 'GLORY'VIDEO: GAGA IS TOO 'MUCH' FOR 
CANADASources say Gaga and Slovenian-born Zizek -- who like Salman Rushdie seems to be intellectual catnip to 
beautiful women and who was once married to Argentine model Analia Hounie -- spent time together discussing 
feminism and collective human creativity. The pop star also agreed to support Zizek at a March rally in London 
when the lecturers' union UCU was on strike.SPLASHNEWSLady GagaIn a recent blog post titled "Communism Knows 
No Monster," Zizek called Gaga "my good friend" and said, "There is a certain performance of 
theory in her costumes, v
  ideos and even (some of) her music." He says her infamous meat dress is a reference to "the consistent linking in the 
oppressive imaginary of the patriarchy of the female body and meat, of animality and the feminine."WikiLeaks announced an eBay 
auction on Thursday for eight seats to dine with Zizek and fellow international man of mystery Assange at "one of London's finest 
restaurants." Bids on Friday were up to about $5,000.Zizek, who once described himself as "communist in a qualified 
sense" and a "radical leftist," will be a visiting professor at NYU, where Gaga once studied. He'll teach German in the 
fall.Gaga and her on-and-off boyfriend, Carl, were seen together at her CFDA Awards after-party. They reportedly hit a two-week rough 
patch that led to their breakup.Gaga's rep declined to comment on her relationship with Zizek."I am terribly sorry to disappoint 
you, but this is all a fake! The only thing I share with her is the support for the strike," Zizek told us, referri
  ng to the incident in London.

I see Louis still has a bad romance with Lady Gaga.
Actually, fwiw, she does have a great voice and can play a good piano, but
so do a lot of trained musicians. The difference is that she learned how to
promote herself.
I got one of her albums, but then my tastes run every which way from Johnny
Cash to Mana to Ramon Ayala to Mano Negra to Lady Gaga to Mozart.
Will you let me dance in your revolution?

Erik

Well, it's not about the music but about the gossip. I've imagined a gossip
column at a Marxist website and the idea amazed me with its weirdness.
