God, Jesus and Lady Gaga

July 11, 2011, by rebecca@top7.com

GodJesus and Lady Gaga are sitting around your dinner table. No, this isn’t the beginning of a dirty joke, this is the top candidates of who people would like to invite to dinner.**

In the most extensive poll of its kind, people were presented with the topic People to Invite to a Dinner Party. They chose from candidates real and fictional, biblical and historical, scientific and entertainment-related. And not only did they have all these diverse candidates to choose from, but they also had the ability to invite more than one of their favorite people, in the order of just how much they would like to wine and dine them. You can learn a lot about a person, or a community, that way it seems.

Rounding out the top 10, in order, are
1 God
2 Jesus
3 Lady Gaga
4 Barack Obama
5 Megan Fox
6 Michael Jackson
7 David Beckham
8 Albert Einstein
9 Ellen DeGeneres
10 Elvis Presley

It seems that overall, people would have a very well-rounded dinner conversation. Religion is represented by God and Jesus, while science is represented by Einstein. Politics stands in with Obama, while sheer hotness comes from Megan Fox and David Beckham. Becks also provides athletic entertainment, while the laughs come from Ellen DeGeneres. The musical entertainment around the table will come from three different royals: both kings (Elvis, the King and MJ, the King of Pop) and the Lady of Gaga.

Lady Gaga sings to Judas
Seating Lady Gaga with God and Jesus could pose some thorny issues since she just crafted a love song to Judas, but we’re all adults, and I think they can work it out. Personally, I would seat Tupac with Confucius, Isaac Newton next to Snooki, and myself next to Detective Elliot Stabler. But the community has spoken. And they have said “God, Jesus, and Lady Gaga.” The Holy Trinity for the 21st Century.
