On Avril

So what exactly has happened to Avril Lavigne? Only yesterday she was an angsty outsider type and now she's crossed over into something terrible. I didn't really like her much before, but i could respect her for what she was. She was still pop, but she was pop's alternative side. She was a rebel and, relatively, a flag flying against the wind of pop's usual tastes. Now, in her latest video 'Girlfriend', Avril plays herself stealing a boy off another uncool girl (also played be Avril). It seems she's slayed her old, alternative self and graduated to a proper hoe-bagged-pop-tart. So sad. I'm sure its no mistake either, which is the worst thing.
