Not that this is any big deal, but did you notice the promo cover for "Trouble" by Pink? In this day of being "politically correct", is she just being a bad girl? I probably wouldn't have noticed it, but the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants in New York (just 10 minutes north of here) had me thinking about it. If you haven't seen the promo sleeve, here it is: www.keystonehighways.com/files/pinktrouble.jpgAny other thoughts? |

I really don't like it when bands or singers have pictures of themselves smoking in a video or CD cover. It's like they're trying to sell themselves by making it look like they're cool by smoking. Pink gets negative press on my side for it.

Well, the title of the song says it all... "Trouble"! Actually I don't have any problems with that promo pic. It's not like she's advertising some brand of cigarettes...

Pink really smokes though, so I guess it's not like she's trying to portay some image or look cool *shrug* But I don't really like pictures of artists smoking either

i don't think it's an issue at all... smoking like anything else in life is a choice... if Pink didn't smoke but did her album cover with a cigarette then it would be kind of hypocritical.. otherwise, no issue, no big deal, case closed

If Pink wants to smoke, that's fine with me. If she wants to take a picture while smoking, it doesn't bother me either. Like Bengino said, it's a life choice if she wants to smoke, so I don't find it offensive.
Too bad I can't say the same for this crappy song... Blech!

Yeah she smokes.. so its not like she's being fake... but to take a PICTURE of her doing that (and with makeup, photographers etc) is just a calculated effort IMO. I mean it's not some random photo of her having a cigarette on the street, she deliberately took the photo like that and to me it just makes me think of her as even more of a try-hard than I did before...ooohhh I'm pink, I'm 'trouble' and a 'bad girl'... don't mess with me, I cuss in my songs, I smoke, I diss Britney, I'm too cool  ... and the new song is awful. |

I don't think it's offensive at all, she just looks stupid.

I agree with Sean. She tires too hard and she sucks.
Plus, Trouble is trash.

Very Annie Lennox-ish, with the net crap on her face.
