I love that she's wearing the hose under her shorts - means she's "working" at a Northern Hooter's, right?

I think you mean 'podge' as in: 'Gee, Avril's looking a little podgy around the hips, but perhaps it's just those tights'

Actually this is quite a popular technique for cheerleaders, etc. who don't want their cellulite to be as visible. The hose keep it all tight.

Honest question: Does anyone have Avril on the record saying she's punk? Like, with 'p-u-n-x' sharpied across her knuckles or anything? I'm legitimately curious, and not trying to poke fun.

Actually Avril never claimed to be punk...that's what the media pigeon-holed her as - "pop-punk". In interviews she says she likes punk music but doesn't really define her own style.

The Hooters thing...great Halloween costume. Better than the overdone naughty schoolgirl. And I can say that 'cause that was me the past two years running.

Hey jackasses, it's Halloween. Get over it.

She's lookin hot, though. I think she should keep that outfit for the rest of the tour.

Irony is the most overused word on this site. I dare you to count'em up. What are you guys, Confucianists? Western culture is based on Machavelian principles last time I checked. She does a good job, in my opinion. Who cares about the other stuff? If we can accept a prez who gets a blow job in the oval office and still thinks he did a good job, I think we can let a Halloween costume slide.Since when did what a person wear determine how they should be judged, hated or admired? That reminds me of those high school days, a few years back, when my crew used to hate the superficial rich jocks when we all had Doc Martens and concert tees. In other words, our own "cool" uniform. But hey, it's fun to slam and that's what it's all about. Oh, Calin' or whatever of the many handles you run by, (including those that support your own ignorant statements) why don't you ask Scott about this "fat chick". You're right about calling me "Boo" though...nice to know reverse discrimination is alive and well...any suggestions about what would be an appropriate return name? And there's my little rant "y'all", the only difference is I am targeting "ironic" real people. How's that for FE?

If you go to the Sex Pistols website there are quotes about the Pistols from various celebs and there is a quote by Avril taken from Seventeen Magazine saying that she is the Sid Vicious for the this generation (aka the tween set) and that she created punk for this day and age.

Then the next quote is her saying about how she shouldn't have to know who the Sex Pistols are cause she is really young and that stuff is so old!

I can just picture Avril giving that Seventeen interview and the Arista Marketing/PR person saying to her right before the interview "Okay just like we practiced, you are going to say that you are just like Sid Vicious, remember I made watch that movie about him last night....Gary Oldman that guy who played that really freaky guy in "Hannibal" who gets eaten by pigs in that movie...he played Sid in the movie we watched last night...? Oh and then remind everyone that you are the anti Britney and diss her kay sweetie"!?

Avril: "You got it"! "Sid Vicious right?"

the scariest part is how people are always saying how "out-of-control" avril is. when has she ever done anything that her record company didn't tell her to? but in her defence, i hate all these jackasses who call her a "poser" because calling someone a poser is in and of itself pretty stupid, and they all probably listen to green day and rancid anyway. if you want a real out of control group of people listen to something good like the sex pistols, iggy pop and the stooges, or crass.

wtf?? the whole reason i started listening to avril is bcuz she wasnt a slut and i liked her music (plus i can play about half her songs on my guitar)......but now that shes working at hooters im not so sure. the least we need is another Britney Spears running around in no clothes singing crappy music. I hope that was just a one time thing......

Boobs = job ast hooters
avril + famous + rich = job at hooters
