Surely the worst things about Avril Lavigne's dubious Japanese-themed video is that:
1. She's plodding about five years behind Gwen Stefani's no-less-uncomfortable pillage-and-repackage of Japanese culture as exotica for the the US market
and
2. The song was co-written by her husband. Yes, that's Chad 'Nickelback' Kroger writing a song about Hello Kitty.
"I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan."
ReplyDeleteFair enough, the only reason Momus hasn't made that video is...erm, he'd probably be arrested actually.
