Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend - Really (Really) Annoying (Annoying) Song to get Highest Hits on YouTube?
Friday, June 27th, 2008Avril Lavigne fans are leading the charge to have her song Girlfriend become the ‘most watched’ vid on the Tube. It is currently only 1 million hits away from overtaking the number one clip ‘Evolution of Dance‘ in which comedian Judson Laipply smoothly demonstrates some iconic dance moves of the past decade.
However, the petite Canadian’s geeky fans are copping plenty of criticism for their shady tactics. One site, the Avril Bandaids, has created a special webpage which automatically reloads the clip every 15 seconds, adding another hit to the clip. The site has advised fans to keep the browser open all day.
This has outraged many, who believe that YouTube hits should remain legitimate representations of public interest which have previously led to such clips of brilliance as ‘Dramatic Chipmunk‘ and the Laughing baby video ‘Hahaha‘. Will Lavigne make it to number one or will site admins step in? Decide for yourself by checking out the clip…or don’t!
