I'll be honest - I've been a fan of Britney Spears for a while now. I think I just really want her to finally be happy and get her life in order - especially after all she's been through. But when I saw her new 'Womanizer' video, I started thinking about the Britney obsession. (I didn't post the video because there's some nudity, and although some would say it's tasteful, others might not agree. )
Anyway, I'm watching this video and I'm thinking, "why is she naked? It has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the video..." Maybe she's proving to the world that she's back and she's hot! So then I proceed to thoroughly analyze the entire thing, passing judgement on her for why I think she's doing all these things... and then it hit me! Maybe she's not entirely to blame.

"I'm sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl...
I'm sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man so drink the cup"
How much of this mess is actually Britney's fault?

I am going to agree with you.
I mean come on did you look at the harvest it was quite nice this year and it looks like next year is going to be even better.
I will give anybody who gets my reference $1.
I think Britney's parents should have taken a more active role in advocating her youth. They should have been there to stand up for the type of clothes she would wear and the type of roles she would play. Maybe things would be different for her today if someone would have thought only of her, not the all mighty dollar.
