We dare you not to be charmed by Lily Allen’s latest single “The Fear” from her upcoming album “It’s Not Me, It’s You.” The song and video are oh-so-timely with their adulation of mass consumption and consumerism, two things none of us can do anymore. And while some will salivate at Lily Allen’s rich girl fantasy, its the singing, dancing hot butlers that do it for us. Is that a fetish? It should be.

Do you think she is commenting or just perpetuating consumerism and self-obsession? Regardless, it is very funny and I love it.

Catchy and stupid, just like Lily. Look what happens when your parents are well-connected in the British entertainment industry. Anyway, we did this concept before with Madonna and Material Girl . Yah-awn.
