"EVERY BEAUTY...

...needs to go out with an idiot."

Does anyone else find this insulting to women? I love the song but find the video annoying -- the characters look like X-Files aliens with their oversized eyes. Also, the line "every beauty needs to go out with an idiot." If that 's true, judging by the idiots I've dated, I would say I was the most gorgeous woman in the world.

Beautiful women are not automatically intelligent. It would be a better comparison if they had written "every beauty needs to go out with an uggo," "every smart woman needs to go out with a moron" or "every nice woman needs to go out with an asshole."
