Please don't let this mean that "Trailer Chic" is on the way

Ninety-nine per cent of the time, Britney Spears in meaningless to me. Her songs are catchy and sometimes amusing, her videos flashy and dance-tacular and her life, well I couldn't care less about her life. The only time that her life matters to me is when her sphere of influence starts to affect popular culture in a bad, bad way. He girl is influential. She's popular, attractive and well, a lot of people like to emulate those who are popular and attactive. Even when they're being total knobs.

Britney has a lot of money. Like silly amounts of money. And she seems to be proving the adage true that you can't buy good taste. This is true of so many celebrities. They come from, shall we say, modest roots and instead of trading up for lifestyle of class and quality, they stay true to their roots (which in some people's world is a good thing) but just make it ghetto fabulous or trailer chic. Being a person who values personal choice, I can't stop these people, but I can cry out asking "What the hell are you doing?"

Even in my most ghetto of student days, when I was dating the slacker highschool dropout lead singer of an alt-rock band, I was never as ghetto as Britney has become. I mean, have you seen the crap she walks outside in these days? And I don't mean the crap she wears on stage. I've seen pics of her, coming out of a restaurant, where people eat, wearing a pair of white Uggs and possibly the ugliest gold negligee EVER. Forget about her clothes. The hair, the no make-up. She can afford people to take care of these things for her. Such an opportunity wasted.

Anyway, I hope people take his opportunity to not follow Britney to the trailer park and engage in some thinking of their own. Cause my goodness, we don't need more of this crap.
