First she made a joke about buying a fake rolex. Now Thailand’s culture ministry has filed a complaint to the police against Lady Gaga for misuse of the Thai flag during her show last month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ministry said the part of Lady Gaga’s performance when she wore a traditional headdress and sat on a motorcycle in a skimpy outfit with a Thai flag trailing behind was “inappropriate and hurt Thai people’s sentiment”.<\/p>\n

“We are not asking police to prosecute her but it’s our normal procedure to file complaints<\/strong> to concerned agencies when we receive them,” a senior ministry official, who declined to be named, said by telephone.<\/p>\n

The ministry noted that the Thai national flag consisted of three colours — red for the nation, blue for the revered monarchy and white for religion.<\/p>\n

Gaga caused a stir soon after her arrival in Thailand last month by tweeting that “I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex,”<\/strong> remarks that some Thais complained cast the kingdom in a negative light.<\/p>\n

About 50,000 people attended her concert in Bangkok, which was part of a tour that sparked protests from religious hardliners in Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever! She’s still no Madonna!<\/strong><\/p>\n
