Now, I dislike her "music" as much as anyone. I find it a personal insult that that girl walks around in her silicone boobies, braying out grunts and incoherent moans and fornicating on TV. She has no talent whatsoever; she's not even some gorgeous model who would get what she wants no matter what. I scratch my head as she's featured on the cover of every magazine, her records sell countless millions, and is basically ubiquitous. Can you say, digitally enhanced voice? There are plenty to back me up, too. I sleep well at night, knowing that there are people like me, as adamantly derisive of the BS (pun intended), as sick to distraction by what this nubile, insouciant whore is doing to our country. The other day, I was walking through the mall and espied a teenage guy wearing a black t-shirt emblazoned with the logo, "Spear Britney". I laughed. So, the MTV Music Video Awards... did you see her performance? She stripped... literally. Chair and everything. In the end, she was wearing a skimpy little bikini... and it was nude. I nearly fell out of my chair when she did that. I thought she was actually naked for a second. The media has a FIELD DAY. Yeah, apparently, they were outraged that the idol of sixty-million pre-pubescent 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 year-olds could have done such a thing. STRIPPING! On TV! ON NATIONAL TV!!!!! Has she no morals? Does she not understand the responsibility of being a role model? Who the hell does she think she is!? Bullshit. What age is this girl? Late teens? So, why is a some 17 (or 18? or 19? How would I know?) year-old stranger a role model for a six year-old? She's famous, right. You wouldn't take some random teenager off the streets and shove it into a kid's face, saying, "Admire it." And the double standard! Are you telling me that it's acceptable for a 17 year-old to pee in public? Or scribble with crayons on the walls? Plenty of girls her age wear skimpy clothes. It *is* acceptable. It's everyday, as a matter of fact. But it is *not* acceptable for a 6 year-old to do so. And you condone her, you make fun of her because she should know better, that little kids are going to emulate her. The real question is, why should she act like a 6 year-old? Spears never asked to be a role model. She never went around to every little kid and said, "Will you worship me?" Nope. So, what? Where's the responsibility? Why is this one girl responsible for her actions merely because she has fans? A public figure has more to answer for than the common schmuck? You say, "Of course they do." What you're really thinking is, "They should." What you're really really thinking is, "We own them, the celebrities. They're ours. They have to act the way we want them to. We can pry into their private lives, their closets, their diet, their bedcovers, their underwear drawers." Walk into any public high school, and you'll see the sluts, the druggies, the bullies. Sometimes, being in a public school, you forget that they're even there. At least, I do. I live in a completely different sphere from them, a world where kids bitch over B's and homework is always on time. I've never had a teacher yell at me for being late, despite the fact that I was late to Biology countless times sophmore year by at least twenty minutes. But you see all these A&F-ridden, spoiled and pampered rich kids, eyes shot from weed, the bouquet of booze on their breath. Their lips are glazed with drool, and out of their mouths comes a strange, slurred speech, a kind of bastardized English that is somewhere between farting and swears. No, no... who the hell do these kids think they are? Sometimes, I think they should have a starving, third-world toddling roped to their backs. Let them carry around weight other than overblown egos for a change. Enough is enough. Stop complaining about Britney Spears and look in the mirror. Chances are, you're just as much a(n) ____________ as she is. |
