Pieces of Britney Spears? Um, Which Ones?
So the full video for Britney Spears second single is out. "Piece of Me" is the latest nonsense Jive is pushing from her semi-flop of an album
Blackout. Apparently there's been some "post-production work" on the video to thin Britney up a bit. Clearly the video gurus stopped midway through their efforts because Britney still looks bloated and ridiculously under-dressed for her current body.
What's so ironic about all this (and Britney's life is full of irony) are how the lyrics of this song hinge around her life in the tabloids. Britney making fun of the media's perception of her as an out-of-control, "shameless," attention-whore when in reality she
IS an out-of-control, shameless attention whore - isn't even irony, but mere fact, which is what makes it so ironic. Britney pretending she's in on the joke that is her life, is so incredibly sad and pathetic, that for a split second I almost felt sorry for her.
But, unlike so many of you fine folks, I
don't feel sorry for her, not in the slightest.
Britney's refusal to get the help she so clearly needs and do ANYTHING of substance with her life except drink calorie-laden Frappuccinos, drive around aimlessly (and dangerously), spend her money on cheap and/or expensive trinkets, court the paps while pretending she hates them, and ultimately and more importantly — neglect her children and their needs — is a testament to how sick and twisted she is. Feeling sorry for her ISN'T helping. Turning on her might though. In case people aren't aware,
Britney is currently under investigation by DCFS for concern of the children's safety and welfare. If nothing else, she has blatantly abused her privilege to be their mother, and while that may not be physical abuse, it's abuse all the same.
Anyway, there's the new video for your enjoyment. I hope you like it, because I sure didn't.
