Friday Fun Video: Pink - "Stupid Girls"

Friday January 27, 2006

It's an easy choice picking a video this week. Pink's satirical jab at "stupid girls" is a must-see. Laugh at the parodies of Britney, Jessica, Lindsay, and the Olsen twins, but there is also a serious message here that makes the video well worth watching. In the end, will the girl pick the Barbie or the football? I'm eagerly awaiting the album now, but it won't be available until early April.

Head on over to MTV Online for the exclusive showing of Pink's "Stupid Girls," the Friday Fun Video of the week.

Watch for yourself and see whether you think the striped pants, bare midsection and fedora is a nod at Britney or not. There seems to be some disagreement

(4) this video sucks says:

This video, though funny at times, is highly ridiculous. Who says that just because a girl is pretty, that she is also stupid? For instance, the girl running on the treadmill in this video isn’t doing anything stupid at all! She’s running! Running is healthy, not stupid. Anyone who thinks running is stupid is either fat or lazy. Also Pink makes fun of having blonde hair…yet isnt she a natural blonde? Another thing, how do we know that the girls shes making fun of in this video arent smart? That’s right, we dont and neither does pink.

Bottom line: Pink should probably find a better way to deal with her own insecurities, rather that bashing on other peoples problems. This video was a sad excuse for talent.

‘m sorry, but Pink is absolutely right in this video!
Is sex videos in the internet smart? Paris Hilton is a slut!
Is eating disorders smart? And I could propably say, they are doing it on a purpose!
Is that smart that jessica simpson is jumping and rubbing herself against the car?
Or what about the slutty way todays women are putting themselves as a object, not a rolemodel??!!!!

I am starting to get really pissed of!

Kelly Clarkson is nova-days, the only woman out there, who doesn’t do that kind of a slutty impression about herself, and she is still up there singing, WITHOUT STRIPPING!! And I am not her fan, but I appreciate her, for not taking her clothes off!

who ever dont like this is , lets face it, a stupid girl and picking at every thing aint going to reverse what you yourself have done. the video is absoulutly great!

(7) kate says:

this video is great
being girly does not mean you have to be slutty. Sadly, many girls these days think that being slutty is the only way to get attention…

A++++ for pink…

I’ve just seen Pink’s videoclip this morning and I can say only one thing: it hit right on the mark! These lyrics are especially poignant:

What happened to the girl who wanted to be President?
She’s dancing in a video, next to 50 Cent.

It’s a very satirical, ironic piece of work and I’m glad to see that at least some artists are opening their eyes and seeing that this world is not all about perfect bodies, the latest in designer clothes or the 101 Ways to Degrade Yourself list. We are in serious need of strong role-models for today’s young generation of girls and things are starting to look a tad bit good. One can only hope that they continue this way…

beautiful ( natural not prosthetic) and smart. That is the goal. THis fad of putting water balloons in the chest is for shit heads.

(10) laLancheros says:

I love the lyrics, and the video makes’em justice. I love the part where she hits a girl with her car, it’s so funny!!

I’m a girl with ambition, and I love stupid girls, because they all want to be hollywood stars or rock stars or porn stars or reality show sluts, so they’ll never get in my way to get everything I want.

Keep being stupid!!!!

VIVA COLOMBIA, HIJUEMADRE!!!!!

(11) elizete says:

I love the video, I think Pink did a terrific job. All the girls that she is making fun on the video are really, truely stupid and dumb, I even feel sorry for them because they are so unhappy with who they are that they do anything to call the public’s attention. To me not only are they stupid but rich sluts.

(12) Kim says:

Too many girls are self-conscious these days, and like to PRETEND to be stupid. However, guys seem to find this attractive, so I don’t blame girls for having these celebrities as their role models. I think guys need to start sending the message across that Pink has, if they honestly find these “stupid girls” unattractive.

(13) Laury says:

P!nk, you rock my world! This video is brilliant! If only all celebrities could be as smart as she is, this world would be a much better place… Down with Paris, Jessica, Lindsay and all those stupid bimbos! Smart girls rule!!

(14) mila says:

This was an awsome video but i still like paris hilton and them other stupid girls. being famous does that to u and u cant blame them.And there getting filthy rich for it to. I think pink rocks though and for the people who say kelly clarson is the only women, i think she’ll be one of them to. i mean her clothes are slowly inching away, getting eatin by moths. But she rocks to anyway

Thank you Pink, for speaking on behalf of all smart, pretty and intelectual women!

(16) Andreia says:

i love the song, and the video it’s so funny!! :) it’s a shame there’s girls acting like that!they look so ridiculous!!!!
But it’s so real! they wanna be skinny, they became anorexic (that’s a serious thing!)to be beautiful it doesn’t = to be skinny, or act like a slut, or wear small, really small, small clothes.some people need to learn the concept of beauty!And respect themselves, and/0r get some intelligence.
Paris Hilton will never get the people’s respect!!this one doesn’t have a brain!she must think she’s the sweetest thing JUST BECAUSE SHE HAVES A PRETTY FACE AND A WONDERFULL BODY!!!
…and there’s a lot of examples of people known a bit from all around the world… unfortunately!! :(
Is it really epidemic??

March 19, 2006 at 7:31 pm
(17) Christina says:

Pink is simply number one -when i saw her new video i found it so clever and directly passing a clear message of what really girls should avoid ! i just love it, she is surprisingly wonderful one more time!..show them girl!!!

A fun all way from Greece!!—

(18) christine says:

this comment is made in regards to the comment made by “this video sucks” (ps what a creative title, no wonder you were up until 2:14 writing such a load of bull). pink is an entertainer, and nothing more. so who the heck cares whether or not the girls in the video are really smart? they are actresses, they auditioned and are being paid to be in that video, so no one really cares what their iq’s are. and chances are likely that pink knows more about their intelligence levels then you would so you might just want to keep your comments to yourself bud. im not saying this because i love pink, im saying this becuase i hate individuals who diss people making more money in one “sucky” video then you probably will ever see in your life. have a nice day.

(19) danielsgirl says:

Pink deserves a standing ovation for this song. She simply sang what we all think and not only that, she made it funny. Young girls today don’t have a role model to look up to that isn’t half naked, sluty or stupid. Paris Hilton is a joke. Did you see her with the little girl from the Make-A-Wish foundation? It’s a sad day when she’s someone a 14 year old girl looks up to. I saw the tape on TMZ.com and she didn’t even connect with the little girl; you can tell Paris was just doing it for the publicity. Lindsay Lohan was prettier when she was natural. Why do girls want to grow up so fast? Pink rocks!!! She’s awesome and she makes music everyone can relate too.

(20) Dr. Jenn says:

This has to be the best music video I’ve seen in a long time. The message is fantastic, I just hope that it gets out to those who really need it. Not a huge Pink fan myself, but respect her greatly for being herself and not stooping to the same lows so many other female performers have in the past.

(21) mizz.Curlz says:

I’m sooo glad that atleast somebody knows dat theres wrong stuff hapenning and takes action! She’s so right with the music video! Pink….u totally rock…don’t change!!

I am waiting for Pink and Eminem to do a spoof clip together…no one would be safe!:)

(24) Jessica Castro. ;3 says:

To “this video sucks”: The girl on the treadmill with the boobs and the guy who walked up to her were laughing at the other girl who was undressing, desperate to get the guy’s attention~but maybe you were too busy bashing to realize that.

(25) Summer Scott- England says:

Cindy says, “I was da queen bee so u lot r jealous”.
You can’t even spell and as for prom queen.. doubtful. Maybe Queen of the ghetto. As for Pinks video (of whom i’m not a fan of) I thought it was extremely brave of her to stand up for women and send out a message. A lot of the girls she talks about ( ex Lohan) dont even have their highschool completed. I hope the youth of today are smart enough to understand what Pink is getting across to them. Although i do not like Pink’s music i extremely admire her now and consider msyelf to be a fan.
