There's a literal kiss of insanity to this brazen new Pink video. Director Jonas Akerlund — himself no stranger to pushing the envelope through videos like "Smack My Bitch Up" and "Turn The Page" — amps up the sexuality and debauchery as Pink grapples with herself over whether to leave a destructive lifestyle. A restless stint in a padded room provides no comfort, nor does an attempt to literally seduce herself. The sexual energy of the video will certainly get attention, as will the mix of an edginess and classical styling — while the ambiguity of it all does run in direct counterpoint to the Celebrity Rehab mantra of, "What Would Dr. Drew Do?" --> watch "Sober"
