My post about Britney Spears
Advertisements [?]
I figured this would be the best place to post this.

I'm trying as hard as I possibly can but I just can't feel any real sympathy for Spears. If she really is sick and needs serious help then I'm sorry. I fully admit always sort of rooting for her career to end since I've considered her a talentless airhead who did not deserve the years of exposure she got but this isn't the way I wanted to see it happen.

The reason I'm having trouble sympathizing with the girl is for a few reasons. One, she is not a GIRL. At 25 years old, she is an adult and is responsible for her own decisions. Nobody told her to party with that leech Paris Hilton or flash her private area at the paparazzi. That was her desicion. For another thing, we've been through so many publicity stunts throughout the past six years that I can't be sure if this a genuine mental illness or another cry for attention.

To me, Britney Spears eptimizes everything that is wrong with American society. I'm disgusted her career has lasted as long as it has when hundreds of people with real talent never get discovered. She hasn't even recorded a song in over two years. Yes, the media was stupid for giving her so much attention but you don't think she had anything to do with it? I just find it hard to take seriously someone who cries about her lack of privacy one second and then exposes her genitals in front of dozens of people another.

Britney probably isn't a bad person, just not very smart. Her children need a mother and she should focus on that rather than getting hammered with wealthy, obnoxious socialites.

This will be my only post on this subject. This isn't really my thing and I'm not sure if Britney is really sick or if this is another publicity stunt. Celebrities certainly don't need sickness as an excuse to do weird things, after all.
