New looks at old trash.

So I actually Googled the Britney Spears VMA show to see what everyone had been talking about and let me just say "Hahahaha". My oh my, that was good stuff there my friends, wow. Reviewers had said that she looked uncomfortable and stiff on stage but I don't think that does it justice. I would say she looked like she was stoned on a mixture of Xanax, cough syrup and heroin, that she had taken in order to calm herself enough to be roughly sodomized by a weedwacker while two large Eastern European men loving smashed her kneecaps with wooden mallets. Short version, she looked wasted and out of it. I am pretty sure that she was on large doses of drugs and alcohol (new word creation, by Joe. Alcho-hole: noun: A person who regularly engages in drunken sex with strangers). Now that she has flopped so heavily on the stage of life all of the people that loved and adored her have turned their backs on her, today it was reported that her long time management company has ditched her. So what is so funny about this? I'll tell you. Britney is not a person, she is a creation of a machine. She has been in the spotlight since she was five years old. She was born human but she was turned into a pop icon, like Ivan Drago in Rocky 4. Remember the montage they showed of how they trained him, fed him drugs, and kept him distant from realities that may confuse his fighting edge? Britney is like that except I felt bad for Drago, damn Russians. Britney, Lindsey, Christina, they are all from the same basic group of control and test children and at some point in time they have all been akin to a malfunctioning fembot. I think it is funny that large entertainment companies find these people as children and then raise and mold them into what you see before you. They are taught to how to sing to the expected popular industry standard, dance in a way that is non-pornographic but none the less arousing and to act in a fashion that is just passable enough to star in a cheeseball Disney flick. At no time are these kids taught to deal with reality. Rejection is unknown to them and absolutely crushing. Not getting their way or what they want, unheard of. Imagine Tarzan being raised, not by apes but instead, robotic, Mormon talent agents with a television fetish, upgraded cruelty chips and burnt out piety circuits, no survival abilities needed just dance and the world will love you, fail us and we will cut you off and throw you into the jungle, see how the lions like your dancing. Okay back to why this is funny to me. Because, this is just the tip of the iceberg friends. Sure Britney is a wreck and many of the other kid stars are falling apart but you have to think back to so many of the others. Willis robbing a convenience store, Danny Partridge and his wild nights away from the bus, who can forget E.T.s Gertie sitting in Studio 54, snorting coke at thirteen years of age? See as time passes the messed up kids just get more plentiful. Parents want their kids to be famous and don't really care about the costs to their humanity. Come on, even Dr. Frankenstein took better emotional care of his monster that people take of these kids. So just expect that the entertainment breeding companies to pour out more and more child stars for each one that fails until this world is dragged under by a flood of pathetic former uberkid corpses, all speed balled to death in Americas alleys of the formerly appreciated. Misery makes good comedy and I think there is a torrent of funny just beyond the horizon.
