Left: Controversial “King Kongish” photo of Gisele by Annie Leibowitz
Right: Not controversial (yet) “King Kongish” photo of Lady Gaga by Dave LaChaapelle
Great minds think alike faster than others, apparently: Die Already, King Kong Racism: Lady Gaga Edition
the gaga photo is already controversial in some circles: see this racialicious article entitled “die already, king kong racism,” which explicitly compares the photo to the earlier gisele/lebron photo.
