We must say, we were caught a bit off guard by all the “hatin’” going Britney Spears’(s?) way. We caught a clip of her performance and, well, it wasn’t good, but we found the response downright cruel. The NY Times, supposedly a bastion of decency, referred to her “muffin-top abs” and her “bleachy bedhead” wig… we must confess, we didn’t think she looked that bad, albeit a shadow over her former self, but our main point is:
People, this woman is SICK. She is not right in the head right now, which probably had something to do with her shaving it. Dr. Phil even got into the act on Letterman, saying that she should have worn a sweatsuit.
Hell, we taught kids as recently as last year, yet if we went in a classroom today, we’d probably fall flat on our face. Clearly, she’s done. As Sarah Silverman (apparently) said, “She is amazing! I mean, she is 25 years old and she’s already accomplished ... everything she’s going to accomplish in life.” That’s a lot to live with.
But then again, we suppose that that’s the American way: maximize their utility, chew ‘em up and spit ‘em out. Who’s next?
