Oh here is the kicker: "Political experts expect that she can be no worse than what we've had for the past 7 years."

Ya know this explains a lot. She's clearly disgusted with her present gender; the acting out, the breakdown, the hair shaving incident. Oh yes all becomes clear now.

I got it, guess I didn't convey that fact well enough. My internet humor fails again.

As for those who thought it was a real report: It's from a website called TheSpoof... Need I say more?

Never in my life would I have thought I would have to write a defense of Brittany Spears, but like the old punk song goes: Never Say Never.

So, here it goes.  She has been served very poorly by people who made an awesome amount of money by her, not the least of which was K-Fed (I'm a better DJ, and I don't even DJ), her mom (who ought to be in jail for child abuse) and her sister, her manager, her law team and all the rest.

If she would ask me - and I'm sure she ain't about to do that - I would say A) Get the HELL out of LA, its a poser town, full of posers, and fake in a way that even makes fake look natural.  Its no good.  LEAVE.

b) Let me take you to some out of the way studio, and there are several, in England, or Muscle Shoals (close to where she grew up and would feel very at home) and make a great record.  I can get you the best in the biz (they are whores, they work for money, they will show up) and do a real record.  I have a fantasy of her doing Dylan's "Just Like A Woman" in the first person.  Ya' know, a little Memphis Horns behind her, Sly and Robbie doing B&D.  Or doing some other great covers that she could make as her own - because she does have pipes, and she can sell a song.  I'd have her do "Grease" too, she was born to sing that song - Olivia Newton John does not do it justice, Brittany could.  Maybe get the Prodigy boys or the Crystal Method guys behind her on that.  I can hear that now.  Hell I'd even giver her a shot at Lady Day's "God Bless The Child" cause I'm sure she has lived it.  Get Warren Hanes in to play the lead line on his song "Beatifly Broken" or "Soulshine."


Revised lyrics for BS on BB

Mysterious - blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame
Visibly shaken but never stirred - drives them insane
They see the way I play my men - and they have to know my name

I'm so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted - Here I go again

They see the way I cast my spell - It's like drowning in moonlight
Discards them when I'm done - they're lost in my twilight
I move from star to star and I wonder why,
why it feels so right

I'm so beautifully broken - you can hardly see the flaw
Especially from a distance - which is always how I fall

Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that never learned to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break him
When I'm already so beautifully broken

Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that
Don't know how to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break him
When I'm already so beautifully broken

I'm so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted - Here I go again
Here I go again


Kids, that's not just gold record ->-bleeped-<-, that's lifetime achievement time.

Yes, the sad thing about it is that some people will really believe something like this.  After all, if she is really sick, she must be TG, right?  Aren't we all about as sick as they come?

I feel sorry for her.  And I don't for most people.  She has been abused, ripped-off and screwed over.  And that was by those she gave trust too.  Few of us have ever been through that.

I feel rotten about how Brittney's been treated.

That said, I'm tired of having my serious, life threatening condition used as a comedic ploy.  Not only do they abuse us with the attitude that "sex changes" are ridiculous, they also conflate it with a woman who is obviously psychologically troubled.  Of course, they infer, she would go for sex change now because she's sick in the head.

I appreciate satire and parody but this seems just plain mean spirited to me.

Well if you describe a man as someone who works their ass off to support others who are working a lot less than that, then she is there.  And I understand all the headline was in jest, but I also understand that its jest by people who would not have the balls to walk up to Madonna or Cher and say the same thing.  Brittany has worked harder in her life than most of the people on this board will given ten lives.  And I can not imagine how a natal woman who has given birth feels when those babies are ripped from her arms.  And then given to K-Fed, who I do think is an honorable person trying to do the right thing - I'm sure she is in pain.

The whole deal is sick ->-bleeped-<-, people making fun of other people just because they have accomplished something.  And they say that humans don't eat their young.  Hard to prove by this.

Does anyone ever refer to Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Tom Petty, Ozzy Osbourne, Boy George, George Michael, Michael Bolton, Garth Brooks, or even Michael Stipe and a whole host of other guys in the entertainment biz as a 'bimbo?' Even in a spoof?

Look, she's been screwed, blued and tatooed as tekla pointed out.

She kissed Madonna, but is definitely not in Madonna's league as someone able to reinvent herself and play the biz instead of getting played. Then again -- how many are, male or female?

And her newest album is really quite good on a couple of levels. Yet, she's 'crazy' and 'outta-control?' If she was a guy a lot of this crap would never have occurred, let alone hurt her rep.

Given that bunch she has one thing going for her - contemporary hits.  What was the last Zep hit?  (most of the people on this board were not alive when that happened).

And Madonna is world class, not anything like Britt.  She writes the songs, does the dance routines, helps design the show, and - oh yeah - at fifty plus, shows up and delivers.

Yes, Debbie, I am aware the 'The Spoof' makes 'spoofs.'

Quoteoh yeah - at fifty plus, shows up and delivers.

And Madonna's last hit was ...? And besides, what does she do in terms of 'showing up and delivering' that you don't, or anyone else who works a job well?

Besides. "Bimbo" is a male baby, isn't it? So why does it get co-opted as a derogatory term for a woman? That's actually the one thing that bothers me most. A steady diet of making women less, consistently. I can see where the male audience wouldn't be much concerned by that. It tends to enhance their own capacities for 'intelligence' and 'ability.'

You may notice that I included a range of male artists: gay, transgendered, androgynous, he-man and just male. Yet, not a one, no matter how egregious their behaviors gets quite the nasty 'humor' tossed at a woman.
