Okay, so it seems almost everyone's seen this video of this crazy person crying over people being so "mean" to Britney Spears. I just gotta say that first off, it doesn't matter what Britney's been through. That's not the issue. She sucked at the VMA's. Just because she's been through a lot means we don't get to say her performance sucked? You're starting to sound like my good critcism-hating buddy, JackAndSally4Ever on Deviantart, my friend. When you do something publically, it WILL be criticized, and your "tough" life should not have anything to do with that, because, well, it doesn't.

Secondly, dude, chill out. I can understand the frustration, I honestly can. Americans live for gossip, scandels, and drama. So we make a big deal out of things everyday people do. Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez from High School Musical) took a nude picture for her boyfriend a few months ago and they recently leaked on the internet. I feel awful for the poor thing that her personal matters were exposed like that, and that people are going BANANAS over something I KNOW several teenagers have done themselves. She wasn't selling her body, she was doing something private that should have NEVER got out.

Here's the point I'm trying to make: I'm sick of people calling Vanessa a slut and other such undeserving names because of this incident. But DANG, I'm not BAWLING over it. And I thought I was obsessed with High School Musical... This person takes obsession to a whole nother level. I'm behind my girls Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale and my guys Zac Efron and Lucas Grabeel all the way. But the only way you're getting me to make a bawling video of "LEAVE < INSERT CUTE GUY OR AWESOME GIRL ACTOR HERE > ALONE" is if one of them is being stabbed to death in a K-Mart and people are stepping over them as it happens...

Having said all that, I think Britney deserves a little criticism for everything she's getting ragged on for. On one hand I know we tend to pick on celebrities, but on the other hand, just because the person is a celebrity doesn't mean they never do anything wrong and the media is just "giving them a hard time".

I leave you with a quote from South Park on Micheal "Jefferson" Jackson to rest my case:

Cartman: I'm sick of people making all these claims about Mr. Jefferson! That he molests children, that he's a bad father, that he had plastic surgery!!
Micheal Jackson: It's ignorant!! *jaw falls off*
