Well, now, hang on a second, Dan - I think I can deride them as thoroughly manufactured without implying they had no agency in that. I think Lady Gaga has done all her her own manufacturing, for sure - all of her bizarre attention-seeking seems to be of her own devising - but she is no less an artificial creature for being entirely of her own artifice.
Or, shorter version: Being an empty construct doesn't automatically imply the existence of a puppeteer.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
