Britney's ranting 'I'm ugly' video
2006-08-12
A bizarre video of Britney Spears belching and ranting at her husband has shocked fans worldwide.
Well, I'm certainly shocked. Britney Spears? Less than a model of probity and intellect? I'd never have guessed...
The pop star - who appears whacked out confused as she speaks to the camera - moans about being ugly and whinges at husband Kevin Federline while eating what appears to be takeaway chicken and chips.
Mmmmmm! Kentucky Fried! Keeps you from having that gaunt look, like Mother Sheehan has...
She also moans that she has "missed out on life."
Traded her youth for filthy lucre, did she? It happens to all of us. We start out with the same amount of youth and end up with different amounts of filthy lucre, but the trade's made in every case...
When pushed further on the topic she says, quite irrationally: "Things! Y'know! Huh? Where've I been? Huh? I wanna drink at home! Have you seen Back to the Future?"
"I wanna be eight years old again, instead of sitting here eating greasy chicken with a male model or a dancer or whatever the hell it is you do. I don't wanna have stretch marks..."
The dishevelled girl on camera is a far cry from the megastar fans once knew, when she had a string of chart hits and a glamorous lifestyle.
If she got a couple tatoos she'd pass unnoticed in a bit part on COPS.
The video, which has already been seen by two million people on the internet in the past few days, reveals Britney burping, scratching her legs incessantly and rambling about random thoughts such as time machines. The 24-year-old, who is seven months pregnant and mother to baby Sean Preston, says she believes travelling through time is a possibility. Referring to the film Back To The Future, she asks: "Is that possible? To time travel...? Yes it is Kevin. I think other people are ahead of us."
"Or behind us. If they can travel through time they can be whenever they wanna be."
Federline, who is not seen in the video, replies: "Maybe, but they wouldn't tell the world. Can you imagine how many people would go back and change s***?".
Maybe they have. Maybe we're actually living in the better alternative.
The pop star, who is wearing a baseball cap and vest, also says: "I'm ugly. My jaw hurts."
I don't think I want to touch that one at all. Maybe Kevin should buy a kinkajou...
As she let out an enormous burp, her husband tells her: "Dude, we're going to do clips of you burping."
Video at the site show a pretty girl starting on the downslide of youth and beauty with an IQ in the dull normal range. I suspect that when her looks are gone she'll become a political activist...

#17  Actually, that doesn't sound any more incoherent than the dinner converstations that my wife and I normally have.

#16  For a tattoo, she would have to get "fart-wings", alternatively known as the "cashier's stamp", and the "mark of the FSGA" (Future Slave-Girl of America).

That is, the "winged" lower back tattoo that can be exhibited by low cut pants.

#15  With all due respect, does this belong on Rburg?

Sure. It's a funny/warped animal story.

#14  I was thinking of Faith Hill (Mississippi). But then I am partial to her since she is a dead ringer for my first love. Oh, the regrets we have from our youth.

#13  I dunno, somehow the studio system was that, but past stars were more behaved, at least publically, being on leash from their studio. Nowadays, it seems we've got the worst of both studio systems and post-60/70's independent stars.

#12  I think part of the equation is that the Big Media Conglomerates _want_ weak-willed no-talent white trash types to be their stars because they want people who will be both pliable and totally dependent on them for their lot in life.

So all we wind up seeing is airwaves, both video, radio, and coaxial, filled up with 24 hours a day of vacuum being pushed at us.

#11  I dunno. The only purty singers I know of from around here are local performers noone else has ever heard of...

#10  The purty ones are sent to Nashville to become "singers".

#9  Frank: I'm suprised.

You realize we send the _ugly_ ones off to Hollywood to become "singers," right?

#8  I'd still hit it...if she'd keep her mouth shut

#7  Well, I'm really glad I never had any interest at all in britney, otherwise, I'd be very disappointed or something.

#6  I'm heartbroken. I had no idea she was this dimwitted.

#5  Heard this yesterday. White Trash Hall of Fame material.

#4  Someday I'm going to write a history of the war. One of the things our grandchildren will be interested in when they're forced by their teachers to read up on these times will be what the rest of the world was doing while serious young men and women were trying to fight off an evil and implacable enemy.

I'll probably used the Shattered Nation graphic a lot in the next couple weeks.

#3  since Fred did the inline comments, I'd say YS is wrong

#2  With all due respect, does this belong on Rburg? I thought the Powers That Be decided to get rid of the fluff pieces...

#1  I suspect that when her looks are gone she'll become a political activist...

Or a Senator.
