Stupid Girls
Pink is making waves with her song “Stupid Girls” which evidently mocks Paris, Jessica, Lindsay and Mary-Kate. As usual, there’s some great truth in the satire. The video is available on the site as well.
Here’s a snip from her MTV interview.
MTV: Everyone’s talking about your parodies of Paris, Jessica, Lindsay and Mary-Kate, but “Stupid Girls” is about more than that, isn’t it?
Pink: People are going to think, “You’re supposed to be a feminist, you’re supposed to be supporting women,” but I just can’t support that, what the majority of these women are doing — or not doing, more like. It’s just this mindless consumer culture, and it’s such a wasted opportunity. Every time I see myself lying on that hospital gurney [in that video] I sort of wince. It’s a $150 billion cosmetic industry, and what does that say about how we feel about ourselves? It’s sort of pushing this image — shop, drink, party, don’t think, shop, don’t think. I just can’t do that.
MTV: Have you read either “Backlash” [by Susan Faludi] or “The Beauty Myth” [by Naomi Wolf]? Together, they basically argue that consumerism acts to divert us. Instead of fighting for women’s rights, we’re fighting to find the perfect shoe.
Pink: Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women’s rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what’s going on in Africa — it stops us from thinking in general. I was brought up to question authority, and thank God for that. There’s a lot of questions. A lot of people are into this escapism thing and don’t want to think, and if you force them to think, you become boring. What can you do? I guess I can make videos. And it goes down a lot easier when it’s funny.
MTV: We’ve gotten so much reader response since the video debuted, from fans who love that you’ve come back, to those who’ve called you a hypocrite for making fun of your fellow celebs and who questioned whether or not your aim is to be half-naked as well.
Pink: I love the discussion that’s going on right now. It’s always nice to be missed, but I don’t feel like I ever really went away. I don’t know where I’d be coming back from. There’s always a backlash when you challenge people’s convictions and their heroes. But I don’t do all this so I can be in Us Weekly every week. I don’t do this so that people think I’m cool. I don’t do it for — it sounds ridiculous — the fame or the money. I have incredible dogs, I have incredible friends, I have a gorgeous husband who loves me. I’m good. I love to sing and put my music out there, and I hope I can always do that. But I’m not going to forsake who I am or my integrity to have these things that I can’t take with me anyway. I never said I was perfect, and I never said anybody else doesn’t have permission to make fun of me for what I do. I’m a walking contradiction. I’m a hypocrite sometimes. I’m a work in progress. But I’m working to be better. I’m seeking out smart people and responsible women, and I’m standing up for animals. I’m not making fun of a certain person, I’m making fun of an idea, and I think they’re missing the point. Sexy doesn’t have to come with the price tag of being dumb.
