Rules Of The Game #4: Britney Shows Brain

I quote poptasticuk, I quote Britney Spears, I mention the headshave, I use the phrase "creation myth." Comment here, there, everywhere (still don't know how consistently comments will go through on the Las Vegas Weekly site).

(Contains my answer to Jessica's question "How did you end up liking teenpop? Why don't you like what you're supposed to like?")

Apparently, LVW think "fuck" is a sacred word that cannot be spelled in full without offending the gods. Also, LVW dropped my italics, at least online, but I'll try to get them to change that.

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

I still think it's slightly mental, in that it's the sort of thing I can imagine Britney putting up when drunk...there were a few videos going around about a month ago (post-rehab, pre-poll) where she was doing these affected soliloquies to the camera, and the target there was clearly the media - she was mocking their interest in her and her problems, putting on a fake Valley girl accent, acting ditzy and so on. But the thing is, she did actually look sort of out of it too. This is the same sort of humour - very funny but hardly clear-headed. The kind of thing I'd come up with in the pub at 4am having been drinking all night, basically. Which is probably what Britney did.
