But we always have to have something to complain about. Also I would like to say that person that directed and produced this was Japanese. I am not going to say I like the song. It is horrible. I am just saying that perhaps someone should actually ask someone from the country in question if they see if as racists before getting all butt hurt over something that doesn't really matter. If you want to get upset about something that matters there is ton of stuff in the news you could get upset over.

I think it's really dumb to act as if the Japanese are not exploiting this kawaii stereotype as well. hey, it gets them tourism and makes them lots of money from stupid consumerist teenager girls and the occasional middle aged otaku.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505097255881849390.post-64697332937497566922014-05-18T16:36:14.192-07:002014-05-18T16:36:14.192-07:00This is a dumb video, Avril trying to be all Japan...This is a dumb video, Avril trying to be all Japanesey and cutsie and all, but it's so pretentious, and the models are not exactly young and cute, and all I keep thinking of is "butch dike" for some reason (maybe it's the shaved head and the song's lyrics about pretty kitties rolling around in underwear or something, I dunno). And what's with the 100% studio produced track, fake guitar (yet she plays one in the video as if there's even a real guitar in the recording, not). And oh my god, the bad attempt at Dubstep?? So superficial. Oh, and her rapping? Gawd.
