Today in music videos: The internet was bored for a second, so Lana Del Rey posed with tigers, explosions, and stuff

We've tried to avoid commenting too much on diva-to-be Lana Del Rey because the singer-songwriter thus far has released precious little music to comment on, and the web-driven debate about her "authenticity" (or lack thereof) makes us feel listless and empty just thinking about it. We're certainly curious to hear Del Rey's debut Born To Die when it comes out next month—who knows, it might be a masterpiece, right? But until then, we have the rather silly video for the title track, which immediately sparked much chatter in social-media circles about how overblown it is, and how Del Rey is overblown in general, but maybe not, because y'all are haterz.
