Britney Spears picked as 'most foolish American of 2007'
Americans have declared rehab-attending, panty-shedding, head-shaving Britney Spears as the most foolish American of 2007.
She was followed by Paris Hilton and Michael Jackson.
Government leaders did well, too, including President Bush at No. 4, Vice President Dick Cheney at No. 6 and disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley at No. 9. Crazy-in-love astronaut Lisa Nowak was No. 8. Others in the top 10 are O.J. Simpson, Mel Gibson and comedian Michael Richards.
The eighth annual survey of 1,000 adults was sponsored by New York publicist Jeff Barge.
Now...Britney Spears is a young woman who never had much vocal talent, and whose career was built primarily on promoting and exploiting her underdressed and overexposed sex parts. We're all clear on that, right?
Just as clearly, she has certain issues that she really needs to treat, one way or another. How many of those issues come from having built a career on promoting and exploiting her underdressed and overexposed sex parts is an open question.
And Paris Hilton is famous for being Paris Hilton and for making sex tapes.
My point is, even given all of the above, do either of them really deserve to be on the same list as-
- A pious criminal liar like George W. Bush who is responsible for the needless deaths of thousands
- A hell-bound murderer like O.J. Simpson
- Or even a couple of garden-variety batshit insane whackaloons like Michael Jackson and Mel Gibson?
-much less ahead of them on a list of who's behaved most foolishly in the past year?
Gosh, I love the priorities of Americans...
