It's another clear-cut example of her management's carefully calculated controversy in the Britney comeback train (mmm alliteration). Instead of releasing a single with depth, they take the easy route.
"Unusual You" was the perfect third single; an uptempo winter ballad that shows a vulnerable side to Britney, something we have yet to see her team portray. She sings about being in love, but expects a broken heart - leaving Britney confused as she finds out her love interest, for once, has pure intentions. Unfortunately, we're left with Amy - a cocky, sex-craved clubber looking for her next ****.
I could not have said it better.

You really could not have said it better. Your post basically sums up my feelings about the third single choice. Thank you for saying that.
Unusual You would have been a mature and courageous choice. "F--- Me" is a crass and embarrassing song that represents an unwillingness to take a risk. (Yes, spelling out the F word in a song is controversial, but it's not risky because IUSA is a guaranteed success at radio, even with the controversy.)
