WTF Is Our Media/Society Coming To?

Like other political bloggers, I generally refrain from talking about Britney Spears. She has turned into such a pitiful and sad disgrace of a human being. I remember liking her first and second music videos for a couple months back when I was a college freshman but then she was over with. The only problem was that the media wanted more, so that they could sell more magazines and TV ads on E Online! and wherever else.

This pop star is now teetering on the brink and you can forget about the media doing the responsible thing, which would be to leave her alone. Of course they want to make money, keep selling, selling, selling. What will she do next? Will she throw her kids in the air while doing jumping jacks? Maybe put in hair extensions and buzz them off like she did to her real hair. Society greedily eats it up and the media dishes it out. What a terrible conundrum it is. So Britney has these cameras shoved in her face and the only way she can cry out for help is to do even more outrageous activities. The publicity empowers her and at the same time prohibits her from seeing the powerlessness she has to whatever disease is destroying her head.

Now the media is smart enough to see this self-destruction, and instead of leaving her be, supposedly reputable organizations like the ASSOCIATED PRESS has decided to preemptively write her obituary. Why would they do this horrific act you ask? Well, as they put it, it would be "easily one of the biggest stories in a long time."

So much for 9/11 and global warming, I guess those things don't count when you are talking about a pop star trained to be this character for us to gawk over from her early childhood. Please people, stop watching her, it'll be the death of this woman who hasn't even seen 30 years of age.
