Bitch closed a ****ing strip club in São Paulo. Was drunk as hell, dancing and having lap dance by the dancers, They decided to record the **** and make a video for cake. We will see how GaGa and her crew party.
The Akerlund Trilogy is also an evident Warhol reference; "Paparazzi" referencing Edie & Warhol and "Telephone" referencing Valerie Solanas - who wouldn't stop calling Warhol to get her script back so she shot him. The difference between the two is that Warhol's work was often seen as misogynistic, while Gaga's has the clear tone of feminism.
Gagavision and Monstervision are like straight out of the damn Factory.
The hooker archetype in "Government Hooker" seems very Factory girl, and here's a fun fact: Warhol's death was overshadowed by Robert Kennedy's assassination.
Andy's closest friends that are still alive: Yoko Ono and Liza Minnelli
And then there's the fact that Warhol was the original Troll; even giving meaning to art that had no meaning (even though it did). It was all a game to him, nor would he ever admit the 'truth' of art.
"My ARTPOP can mean anything."
"If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it."
-Andy Warhol (1968)
So ultimately, I think "Cake" represents Gaga both as the machine and as the canvas; she's making her own (or seemingly so) sextape, complete with the big-ass sleazy font on top of the video.

Now laugh away everyone.
I mean, yes, I think you're right about a lot of this... see: my essay on ARTPOP and what it means... I'm just not sure I understand the CAKE = commentary on sextapes connection.

Do you see the Blue Movie connection, or is it both that AND the sextape connections that you're having trouble accepting?
