Ugh.
Holy cultural appropriation, Batman!
Girlfriend learned a few Japanese phrases, and now she "totally understands" the Japanese people.
I first found out about this travesty of a video here.

My guess would be that Avril Lavigne hasn't had a hit in a while (has she? I don't actually know, I've never been a big follower.) so she's trying to outdo Miley Cyrus. While she doesn't manage to look quite as ludicrious, she, like Miley, is trying way too hard for sexy. Instead of sexy, she manages to look clueless.
If one wasn't paying attention to the inane lyrics, the tune is catchy and danceable, and Avril doesn't have an unpleasant voice. To any rate, her voice doesn't grate on my ears nearly as much as Miley Cyrus'. However, one only has to watch the video for a few seconds to have an eye-popping, "what the fuck is this shit" reaction. Personally, I think Avril watched one too many Japanese Lolita fetish and cheesy lesbian slumber party videos while in her hotel room on tour. For the record, I have no issue whatsoever with lesbian attractions or interactions. I am ridiculing the type of "lesbian" porn that is created for the male gaze and really does not care a whit about actual lesbian sexuality.
Maybe my friends and I were boring, but I never went to a slumber party where the idea of making out with each other would even have been suggested. I suppose it happens, but not as often as the lad mags would lead hopeful, horny fellows to believe. I think we did each other's hair at one slumber party. Usually we watched bad movies until we were told to go to bed by the hostess' mother, ate lots of popcorn, and talked about guys.
Sorry, Avril, but fail. Oddly enough, Japanese women aren't all cute Anime fembots. They have varied personalities and interests.
Also, those dancers look depressed to the point of root canal. I suppose I would too if I needed money so badly that I agreed to be in this video.
