I only have her first, which has some really good songs. I mean, "Losing Grip" and "Unwanted" really rock. Nothing she's done sounds like "Sk8er Boi" except..."Sk8er Boi." For which I have a shameful love.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I love Sk8er Boi because BoilsAndBlindingTorment did Xander LJ icons with the lyrics. Don't feel so ashamed.
Just enough. I'm with Cindy. Poor betrayed Michael.
Bless you, because I just looked and I didn't finish my thought. It's a thought we've discussed before, though. I don't mind Michael being a focus of the show. David Brent certainly was in the original, but I hate when Michael is so over the top. It nearly ruins the show for me. The documentary premise is looser in the U.S. version to begin with it, but when they're doing Laverne and Shirley type sitcommia, it makes me sad. It makes me feel like they're writing down to us.
Kelly Kapoor was on FIRE! Loved the "trash talk" vs. "smack talk" speech.
I loved her! I'm constantly amazed how talented some of these writer/actors are. Mindy's always at the top of that list.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
"Girlfriend" would be kind of fun if it wasn't so, you know, misogynistic.

I don't see it as misogynistic. It's just a girl not liking her ex's new girlfriend. That's just...normal. Boys don't like their ex's new boyfriends either. They're just not as...peppy about it.

It never struck me as misogynistic, but isn't it to a prospective boyfriend about his current girlfriend (rather than to an ex)?

Oh, probably. I haven't really analyzed it. I mean, the message is "I'm better than she is for you." Which doesn't strike me as particularly misogynistic. Unless any negative feeling toward a woman is automatically misogynistic.

Yes. And in the video (god knows why I've seen the video, except I was trapped in horrified fascination), the current girlfriend is mousy and wears glasses, whereas Avril is of course cool and in skimpy clothes.
Edit: Ugh, even better, at the end of the video, the mousy girlfriend ends up in an overturned outhouse, and Avril drags the boy into a bathroom stall to make out.

Well, that's dumb! I always pictured the current girlfriend as Paris Hilton-y.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hey now! Her first CD was good, and her second was all right. "Girlfriend" is atypically awful.
Jackal told me a sekret about Avril... I shall never tell!
Here's my Avril shame - I actually like some of her live, acoustic stuff.
