isn't it to a prospective boyfriend about his current girlfriend (rather than to an ex)?
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.
Ew.

Well, that's dumb! I always pictured the current girlfriend as Paris Hilton-y.
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.
The part that bothers me about "Girlfriend" is that I can't see any self-respecting person falling for that line. Even if the current girlfriend really is that bad.
I saw the deposition as another step in Michael's destruction (self- and otherwise). Now he knows how little the front office thinks of him. And how far he was in a dream world by thinking that Jan's job was his for the taking.
(And, as a former litigator, I confess disappointment that neither side asked Michael that classic question, "Have you discussed your testimony today with anyone?")
Generally speaking, the "I am fabulous and you should be grateful I acknowledge your existence" attitude tends to be the quickest way to deep-six my opinion of someone. No CD sale for Avril!
When someone not me makes a fanvid out of the Hermione/Ron/Lavendar scenes from Half Blood Prince to "Girlfriend", the song wil be redeemed for a lot of people.
Then again, I love it anyway cause it makes dance and smile.
Generally speaking, the "I am fabulous and you should be grateful I acknowledge your existence" attitude tends to be the quickest way to deep-six my opinion of someone.
But even that's only half of her problem. The other half is, "Your current girlfriend is no good." Which should be reserved for very close friends with very good reasons. And no ulterior motives.
And I'll admit, it's a catchy song.
Cute! It's funny how many of them are from greater Boston.
