Sorry so long.
I'm probably not your standard music afficionado (among other things). I don't fit in with the target market crew because it is not the video or even neccessarily the image portrayed that I'm drawn to. I don't read magazines, except on a rare occasion (e.g. doctor's office), nor do I watch tv that often (usually ONLY Sundays from 7pm-11pm, nothing relating to music). Over the past few years I can probably say that I don't even know what 1/2 of the artists out there look like unless they've been around for awhile, but there are a ton whose music I thoroughly enjoy. I enjoy every single genre of music (including Latin, opera, rock, punk, classical, country, rap, pop, dance, etc). So, I don't consider myself to be discriminatory in anyway of the music itself. So, what would I care what they look like? As far as Pink's message is concerned, I believe it has more to do with someone speaking out for people like me. I don't have time to picket about how f*ed up Hollywood is because quite frankly I don't care what Paris Hilton is doing or who Nick Lachey is shacking up with. At the same time, she's also trying to relay a message to those who are caught up in the chaos of Hollywood hype, plastic surgery, sex tapes, divorce and designer clothes.
I also like all of the music of the stupid girls Pink portrayed in the video, but I just think it's ashame that the entire entertainment industry has become more of an I spy, tabloid game. I can't figure out how to relay my point of view. Hopefully, this will help you understand what I'm trying to say b/c I'm starting to confuse myself.
To sum it up. I like all music, I don't care about celebrities, I do think women/young girls are being given a horrible impression on what is acceptable, but at the same time I believe that is where parent responsibilty should come in. Where it doesn't, perhaps Pink can help relay the message that it's ok to be different. You don't have to be "a barbie girl in a barbie world". How's that? Someone wants speak for us nonconformists. Most of us (nonconformists) just choose to ignore.
