Can You Handle the Truth?

Posted by Bill

Wizbang highlights evidence of something that I've been maniacally prostelitizing about for years ... Britney Spears is not that hot, people. Please let her fame expire. Please, please, please, please. Please?

Don't make me beg.

UPDATE: To be clear, I am not endorsing the culture of worship that has emerged around impossibly thin and/or beautiful people, or setting ridiculous standards, rather pointing out that if Britney Spears really looks nearly average, and she can't really sing, then ... what's left?

And for the record, if I were to worship at the altar of heart-stopping beauty devoid of any other exceptional talent, my object of adoration would look something like this. That is all.

Britney Who? Never heard of her.

BTW: More than one 'please' is considered begging. Six make you sound desperate.

Hmmmm .. maybe that's where I've been going wrong with the gals all this time ...

Almost no one is immune from being caught in circumstances where their appearance is, shall we say, less than flattering.

I know there have been many women through the years that have struck me as particularly attractive that would make me cringe if I saw them sans makeup and 'do.

And besides, I doubt that few of the men who regard Britney as "hot" are thinking in terms of some sort of long-term, committed relationship, don't you agree?

Boyd - I'm sorry, but she ain't nuthin' special to look at, and considering that she has no talent, what's left? That old school Star Trek gauze on the camera lens?

All of a sudden I feel...better, somehow. More vibrant.

Right. I'll just be going out for my two-hour bike ride, now!

Heh.

Who's the chick you linked to Bill? Now THAT is a damn fine looking girl.

Adriana Lima.

I'm pretty jaded and desensitized (by cable TV) to the effects of beauty, but that remains a face that could launch a thousand ships.

Everything you need to know about Britney Spears:

She can sing. A little.
She can dance. A little.
She canNOT do both at the same time.
