A series of photographs spoofing censorship and the chancellor of the University of California, Merced by using common campus objects and words from the Lady Gaga hit are causing a stir after they were banned from the school’s Bobcat Family Art Show.
The offending stroke by artist Irene Tang, 19, is a condom placed over a microphone into which Chancellor Steve Kang is speaking.

My piece is a reflection of the torn feelings students face when discovering themselves. It outlines the ability to love two different campus idols: Steve Kang, our chancellor, and Lady Gaga, a pop idol.
I send this message to you, Campus Idol Chancellor Steve Kang: Hang the photos! Show your pokerface to the world!
