Britney Spears is Ugly!
it had to be said
I admit it -- I don't "get" Britney Spears.
As far as I am concerned, she's not attractive, she has a squeaky, annoying voice only dogs should be able to hear, she can barely warble through her songs, and her moves are so over-choreographed I'd believe she has to spend three hours a day practicing in front of a mirror just to know how to smile, wave, or pee. About the only positive thing I have to say is that some of her songs aren't bad -- but they'd be much better coming from between someone else's lips.
Britney's biggest fans appear to be little girls and their paunchy daddies, also known as "the dirty old man." The latter should be up on child abuse charges for letting the former have a role model with such a lascivious persona. For a while I decided a lot of her popularity was based on the "dirty little girl" image she was playing up. Yeah, that modified parochial school uniform was for the tweeners. Uh-huh. I can see the horn-dog daddies now, drooling over the life-size cutout at Virgin Records. "Hey, honey, how about this Britney Spears person? Don't all your little friends like her? Maybe we should get her videos...."
You killed American music! You bastards!
Britney didn't have to be all that attractive for the dirty little girl thing to work. All those lustful S.O.B.'s were just happy to see an embodiment of their dirty little fantasy brought to life. Maybe a teenage Roseanne couldn't have pulled it off, but Britney was just close enough that a boost from her suggestive lyrics and even more suggestive dance moves and poses put her over the top. And, oh yeah, let's not forget the pièce de résistance -- "I'm a virgin." The fantasy was complete! "Honey, why is this hole burst through the front of your slacks? And what the hell is that CD you bought little Katie?"
Why is she still popular now that the dirty little girl is a humping, manstealing vixen? I suppose once they sold out to drooling over the dirty little girl image, the men just naturally kept on drooling. Once committed and all. The little girls that once adored her I suppose wouldn't drop her either. Theoretically she is aging as they do. Inertia is keeping Britney alive, dammit!
It never worked for me, though. I honestly think Britney is ugly. Sorry, I do. And her boobs aren't all that, either. I watched her closely when she hosted Saturday Night Live, trying to discern something to like. I failed miserably. Even her ankles were shapeless and unattractive. When you're hoping for even a shapely ankle to hang onto you've pretty much hit the bottom of desperation. Seriously, I think we've found a woman I'd turn down even if given the opportunity.
Britney? Justin? Jessica Simpson? Are we really this hard up for celebrities?
