literaphile Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I suggest that anyone who thinks this song is racist should take a look at how media and pop culture in Japan parody western culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMR Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 That was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I suggest that anyone who thinks this song is racist should take a look at how media and pop culture in Japan parody western culture. They can both be racist at the same time. Not saying this video is racist, but what Japanese media does has no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This would never happen in Japan. And the racism card is being overplayed so much that it really reduces the importance/significance of the issue by diluting it. It's so out of hand it's ridiculous. It's just a cheesey/dumb video like 99.9% of them out there these days. She was targeting an audience, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckamo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 She sold out... These stupid songs like Friday, Gagnam Style, and that selfie song.. Everybody knows these types of songs sell somehow...This song will make her millions of dollarsWeren't Gangnam Style and Selfie (and What does the fox say) meant to be spoofs?

Monty Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not offended by the video. My ears on the other hand, are both very upset with my brain. Should have prepared myself ahead of time for the crapness that is Avril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Was Newsflash behind getting this video pulled? Seems like the anti edgy college student thing to do. Much awareness Why you gotta go and make things so complicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 ^^ I still remember when 'Complicated' came out and people were saying how punk she was. I kept thinking to myself, "Is anyone actually listening to the song?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Terrible song and worse video but she looks pretty doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 She's actually pretty cool (or was)...my cousin was on tour as her bodyguard and they went out dirtbiking with her...we also met her backstage (haha, Crow was back there with his daughter too...we had a chuckle over that). But her music? Is that what they call it these days? Sonny. She really captured the Japanese audience when she was starting out...not sure she'd ever knowingly alienate that fanbase and was surely simply tapping into it more than anything.
