I don’t have much to say about this . . . except WTF???
I’ve had arguments with a coworker about this. This particular coworker and I get along — I would consider her a friend — but she grew up in rural-back-ass-bumblefuck in an area that might make the map in the next printing. She’s also ever-so-Republican, but for the sake of it. Anyhoo . . . not the point.
The point is that I have found a way to have sympathy for The Brit. My coworker thinks I’m crazy, but I do feel sorry for her. First of all, we all made adolescent mistakes. Whether we failed a class, dated someone we shouldn’t, got our hearts broken for the the first, second, or third times, and some of us even had the accidental pregnancy. Not me, thank God, but there were plenty secret “procedures” among the girls that I knew.
However, we had the luxury of doing all of that in private. There were no cameras. We didn’t have careers. We weren’t millionaires and certainly not anyone’s role model. We got the opportunity to make our mistakes in the privacy of our own bedrooms, and sometimes our own parents didn’t know what we were up to. (At least that was MY saving grace).
My point with Britney is that while, yes, she is fresh from the trailer, and a generally pretty trashy, talentless girl, she’s also a person, and one who deserves to suffer through her bad relationship and post partum depression without having stalkerazzi swinging from her fence, trying to get a shot of it. Yes, she is cracking down, but it’s somewhat disturbing that the general public is finding SO much pleasure in it.
I’m not excluding myself, because I’m certainly no stranger to clicking on the links that say “Britney Shaved Head in Public,” or “Britney Exposes Crotch” — although, admittedly, I was tired of seeing that girl’s vagina all over the internet.
I think that there should be a moratorium on Britney news for at least the first quarter of the year. Let that girl get herself together so that the next time she fucks up, it will at least be something socially salacious and not just plain pathetic.
