hmmm this looks like the cnn website. I clicked on the cnn.com link at the top and the homepage looks legit. I still don't believe this though. I haven't heard it anywhere else.

The cause of the accident is still officially unknown, but witnesses on the scene have told CNN that Timberlake, who was behind the wheel of the vehicle, may have been under the influence of controlled substances, and that Spears may have been engaged in activities that may have distracted him from the road.
haha sounds a little overdone. Like someone is trying too hard. How could they duplicate the cnn website though and have links to it and junk? Weird.

hahaha you have got to be kidding me. Her hair is yellow!! It's sick!!
and look at her baby one more time video. She didn't have half the chest she has now. Not that I look, but you can't help but notice when the little skank is flaunting them all over the place. They look like bowling balls.
Also, when she was first asked if she had her boobs done, she said "that's a personal question".

Don't count me as one of those. I am 5'10" and 130lb
I have no reason to be jealous of her.
However it does make me mad that she can't sing but has so much money from a record deal. That's not jealousy, that's anger resulting from the direction the music industry has headed. no one can sing anymore in pop music!

I was just posting pics from before and after her surgery to prove my point is all. I think calling her a hot babe is giving her too much credit.

Okay, let's get back to the original topic: If you will look at that page and at the bottom of the story and it shows Disassociated Press (linked). If you click on that here is what it says: (the link: http://www.cnn.com;2001;[email protected]/britney/disassociated.html )

This page is by the Disassociated Press

It it a work of social parody for research purposes. CNN is a copyright of AOL Time Warner. Britney Spears is probably a copyright of the RIAA and is not dead.

Man, this really reeks of jealosy. That's the only reasonable reason why you could have so much anger and bile directed at her, even though you've never met her personally, and have no idea who she really is outside of her stage and camera persona. Sure, she's just another blond bimbo teeny bopper, but she's certainly not the first, nor will she be the last. If its the recording industry and their promotions strategy that is really bothering you, then complain about those responsible, not some 20 year old girl who's just having fun and making the most of her current streak of good fortune.

hmmm apparently nefertiti hasnt gone through puberty yet, otherwise she'd prolly realise that a girl can grow in the 3 or 4 years seperating the pics. Actully I wonder if nefertit is even a female, because she should realize that you can look a lot bigger depending on the type of bra and clothes you wear.


Note: look at the video where she is wearing the red body suit and the one where she is dressed as a school girl. In the red body suit one she looks small....but it was done after the school girl video, guess she had the "implants" removed.

ArkiStan
10-07-2001, 06:09 PM
yeah not that I'm interested in her boobs (REALLY??) but all the videos and pics where she has greakin melons are probably the result of padding. One of her more recent videos (a slow song, I don't know the title) where she's just wearing a thin tanktop on the beach, shows that her breasts are not "Huge" at all. They look quite normal to me. I bet she didnt' get those implants. just a lot of wonderbras....

Body? I don't want a body resulting from plastic surgery and bottles of self tanner. I like my body the way it is. Oh, and let's not forget her gorgeous natural looking blonde hair :rolleyes:

Talent?? hahahahahahaha!!!!! The girl can sing two notes. Please. It's amazing how anybody can get up there and attempt to sing, and they automatically have talent. (Macy Gray, Michelle Branch, Jessica Simpson, etc.) :laugh:

Fame? Nah, too stressful.

But sure, I would take the fortune. But jealously is for narrow minded people who have nothing better to think about. I just find bad "music" and girls who act slutty offensive.

the obvious reason, and for abnormal severe cramping.
Since she lives with Justin Timbercrap, I would say it's for the obvious reason.

you actually think she sings "bad music", and she's "slutty"? wow, thats a stretch for macy gray.
please be a little more discerning.

ok. carry on.

Read my statement again:
Talent?? hahahahahahaha!!!!! The girl can sing two notes. Please. It's amazing how anybody can get up there and attempt to sing, and they automatically have talent. (Macy Gray, Michelle Branch, Jessica Simpson, etc.)

I never said Macy Gray was slutty. I grouped her with the no-talents. Geeez soul??????? What??? she sounds like she is dying. That is not singing! I cringe when she tries to go high. she screeches and yells. Gag. Uhhhh no how could I listen to her album, when I wouldn't pay 2 cents for it. No on second thought...you couldn't give it to me. I would sell it on ebay :)

by the way, there is this thing called file-sharing, and maybe if you downloaded her whole album FOR FREE and checked them out, maybe you'll see what i mean. AT least then you can decide and tell me that she truly sucks, because i'd have known you'd listened to her and its all the same to you, that they all suck. That would be fair, and your argument is valid and justified.

but i guess if youre closed-minded like that, there is no sense in trying to even argue my point with you, is there? so yeah, if you feel like that about it, and seeing as how you truly are, then its all fine by me. im not gonna rgue with you anymore after this.

I don't need to listen to her whole album to know what her voice sounds like.
Also I heard her live on tv once. Singing frosty the snowman at that clinton christmas party thing. God help us all.

what do i find offensive? You can't be serious! They have perverted music and made it all about sex. I find MTV offensive period. Its not just Britney, but she happens to be a big part of it right now, and she started a new wave of crap music.

Denial :laugh: that's funny
Oh also, I am a huge fan of Christina Aguilera's music, because she can actually sing. She acts slutty too though but at least her voice is good. I would mind Britney as much if she actually had some talent.

You do realize that all "they" do is give the people what they want and clamor for, as is evident by years of sales research.

Yes, I agree that the large studios with the longest reach to the average consumer exist solely to make money. They have no interest in new music, or even good music (because who's measuring stick are you going to use to determine that?), or even complex music (because lots of people don't "get" experimental or classical works). They are interested in selling albums. They are a business. Capitalism and all that. You don't have to buy into it. I sure don't. There are plenty of great musicians and killer tunes available to anyone willing to sniff around a little bit and look amongst smaller labels and distributors (sure this ain't new to you, right?). But a lot of people like a tune, but aren't so committed to it that they want to put the time in to find and appreciate music in a more discerning or analytical fashion. Their just happy with some background music. So, the rubes get the easy chaff and the committed and harder-working can wade through to the cream. That's part of the beauty of the free market.

So I guess my point is don't let these people upset you, because in reality they are just a mirror of what we want. Unless you're prepared to just be down on society as a whole. "They" is really just "us," when you think about it.

Well, I don't think we'll have to worry about it much longer. I've always been of the mind that prosperity, while good for feeding people, is lousy for the music business. Why? Well, if you had a choice between honing your craft and living in a ****ty basement apartment penning music or working for an internet start up shelling out millions for pretty much nothing, you'll grab the cash. But when people actually emote, when they actually have something that moves them to sing about it, that's when we really hear the good stuff. It is no coincidence that many of the best enduring talents today sprang from the early 90's recession.

Rampant, unrepentant prosperity is still a dream for most people. Once they start identifying with the Kurt Cobain's of the world again, the cream will rise to the top.

I agree with your premises, but I'd say that even in these prosperous days there are those that are emoting for one reason or another. There are still people who are absolutely confused or mystified or inspired or elated by existence and reality. I see them every day, and I'm sure you do, too. It just takes more work to find the ones who SING about it when most people are too busy making money.

Good point, and I think that The new "music" is a big part that shows the crap direction our society is heading. I do look down on society as a whole, it has gotten pretty bad. But I shouldn't get annoyed so much. There really is no point...it won't change anything.
