(PCM) While I had previously listed the horrific “Chinese Food” video from Alison Gold and creepy viral video producer Patrice Wilson as one of the worst (and most racist) music videos of all time; it now seems that Avril Lavigne has secured her spot on that list with the release of the “Hello Kitty” music video.
The video features Lavigne prancing about, spewing out Japanese phrases and outright mocking Japanese culture, at least that is how many people are taking it. Lavigne defended the video on Twitter, claiming that she adores Japanese culture, spends half of her time in Tokyo and even specifically flew into Japan to shoot the video for her Japanese fan base.
It is not just the video. The song itself is just really bad…and to think Lavigne and husband Chad Kroger of Nickelback penned this gem together…wow!
Lavigne claims the video is meant to be “flirtatious and a little bit sexual” but is really all about her love of “Hello Kitty”. What I find a bit odd is that “Hello Kitty” is no where to be found at all in the video. I’m guessing Sanrio wouldn’t allow her to secure the rights to use “Hello Kitty’s” iconic image and I certainly can’t say I blame them!
Check out the video below and let us know what you think!
