Going, going, gone gaga

Chinese netizens have more faith in Lady Gaga than God, if the latest Internet slang is a pointer to the way China's youth is thinking.
The phrase "Oh my Lady Gaga" has replaced the now redundant "Oh my God" (omg) as a cute way to express shock, hilarity or emphasize a point.
It's on Internet forums, domestic social networking sites like Kaixin001 and all over bulletin boards. It's even found its way onto mainstream TV shows, such as Hunan TV's Happy Camp, where presenters like Wu Xin show off their cool credentials with repeated nods to the American high priestess of fashion and music.
