Hit Me Baby, One More Time

I guess all those people who, like me, thought it would be Federline who imploded are pretty amazed right about now. Definitely glad I didn't put any money in that race. For once.

I guess it sort of confirms what every man in America has known on some level for a long time: a lot of Britney's appeal was based on the "You can't have me, and you know if you did I'd hurt you 'cos I'm out of my freaking mind" buzz you could see behind her eyes. Also goes a long way to proving God is a guy, because only a guy in a bar would think it's funny to hard-wire his creations to reflexively want chicks like this*. We all do, but we all grow out of it. Usually through painful experience.**

Hopefully her sister, who is a regular on some Disney channel show Olivia sees ads on between Sponge Bob episodes, has her head screwed on straighter. Not putting any money on that one either, but having your older sister act as such a signal warning has to help.

* Call it the Jackass effect, writ large.

** Typically involving an emptied bank account and jail time. So I've heard.

Actually, I think a transition for boring pop diva to angst-ridden emo punk goth Britney would be something to see!!

I'd say that she wasn't really a boring pop-diva. She went from being a virginal hottie to an overweight skank. But never really boring...

No, not her. She's always been very easy on the eye. I'm talking about her music. That's the boring part. Trust me, I could look at her video for the song "Toxic" all day and all night!

But still, the very idea of Britney singing The Sex Pistols "I Am the Antichrist!", for example, has an extremely strong appeal for me!

that is, look at the video for "Toxic" all day--and all night--long.

With the sound turned down.
