Lady Gaga, Mayor Bloomberg Kiss At New Year's Eve Ball Drop In NYC (PHOTOS)

With apologies to the famous Victory over Japan Day sailor and his lady nurse friend, this was truly the Times Square kiss seen around the world.

In a true New York City pairing, Lady Gaga and Mayor Michael Bloomberg shared a smooch in front of billions as they brought the New Year's ball down to start 2012. It was a delightful peck that provided the highlight of what was a bizarre sight, with the pop star in her sequined mask and the mayor in a sweater embroidered with the American flag.

It's important to note that the two weren't just randomly thrown together, either; Bloomberg chose Gaga as his ball drop partner a few days earlier, meaning that he must have had some sort of previous friendship. Which, of course, got us wondering: what exactly were they saying to each other up there? Gaga won't tell us; she tweeted, "I cant even quite describe what tonight felt like. Sort of poetic madness. A dream come true. Moments recalling a leather taking the subway."

Well then. Since we'll never know, we decided to come up with some likely conversation ourselves.

Wonder what the LGBT community thinks about this photo-op as they despise Bloomberg.

Lady GAGA is SMART and she is all about the LOVE. She knows that friends in the right places are better than enemies. And she will use her relationships to advance her LOVING agenda.
So, don't be petty.....

Lost all respect for her. She's endorsing an autocrat by accepting his invitation.

Nice that Bloomberg had time to knit himself a sweater for the occasion.

I would have much rather have seen her stab him with her stilletto!

I noticed that her lips are not on the bottom of the Mayor's lips but appear a little above, looks a little above their lips.

She could have dispensed with the weird outfit for five minutes.
