| Jerose | Posted – 3/27/2008 10:59:00 AM | show profile I have to agree with the OP. We all know that in the media we have the power to affect many things. (A picture of the book Skinny Bitch in Victoria Beckham's hand drives sales through the roof, etc.) It could have been avoided by using a generic blond on the red carpet or in a car chase or something similar to what TBS TV did when there was some contest a few months back to win tickets to something. Britney has done nothing of value in the last couple of years, and I for one am sick of the Britney immersion. Come on, she did things to herself because she knew that not being in the press would be the death of her um career. Now if Britney was making the comeback of the year, I'd have less of a problem with her on the cover. Someone like Madonna, who has international fame and has lasted through generations would be okay too. Their business savvy would be newsworthy. |

| qunester | Posted – 3/27/2008 4:08:59 PM | show profile Just like I don't have to staudy the german language to complain about it. It sounds awful. In short, it depends on what your complaint is. My complaint isn't that the story is bad. My complaint it that it's about something I don't believe is newsworthy, a topic I've quite had enough of. Whether that topic be Britney or celebrity worship or the fact that the writer of the RS piece wouldn't give the writer of the Atlantic piece a handjob. |
| InsomniacNOT | Posted – 3/27/2008 4:15:13 PM | show profile I'm thinking Goethe would have a different take on that whole German language thing. Maybe on Britney too. |
| qunester | Posted – 3/27/2008 6:48:19 PM | show profile well, we're all entitled to our opinions. On German, on Germenay, on Britney, on everything. My twelve yearold niece would, like, totally have a cow if I said to her that Britney doesn't matter. I mean, like, totally. She probably hates Geman, though.I know Italians who think English not only sounds bad, it's illogical and makes no sense (gh is silent and .or pronounced "f", or ph?) |
