The interesting thing about Britney Spears isn’t the fact that she’s having a complete mental breakdown. It’s the public’s own dumb amazement that Hollywood isn’t the pacified perfection it consistently tries to perpetuate. Given the right conditions, we’re all wired for the same faults. That should be no surprise at all.

The real comedy is the amount of money people shell out to hear stories that are abundantly “human” and could easily reflect the personal struggles of individuals directly related to themselves, not some hyped up celebrity.

Britney Spears, well, her actions might not necessarily be as erratic as you’d think. Just the implications of good corporate practice done the American way; sweep it all under the rug until someone comes looking for the ugly.The real tragedy is the societal mental sickness and its attachment to gossip at the hand of the unfortunate, not those of a ruffled pop star alone.
