Does anyone think the Britney Spears naked pics are newsworthy

[pooja]

Seriously, soldiers are dying, people in Africa are suffering, hell people in NO are suffering, gas prices are ridiculous, the President is a criminal, and there is major flooding on the east coast and major drought and fires burning in the west and we haven't even had a hurricane yet. Is this important enough for everyone (even KO) to be talking about.

[RagingInMiami]

1. I do like how she looks with black hair

[Kerrytravelers]

2. But... it's Brittany Spears. Every little move she makes is important

to our democracy.

[tuvor]

3. Only insofar as she was just begging for privacy a few days ago.

[MrSlayer]

4. If they are from 5 years ago or so, hell yeah.

She looks horrible now.

[AllNamesHaveBeenUsed]

8. Uh...

Check out the pic in question. I'd "hit it."

[MrSlayer]

14. Do you have a link?

I'll check it out, purely for research purposes of course.

[AllNamesHaveBeenUsed]

16. For the sake of research...

I would be happy to oblige. :)

[badgerpup]

26. I seem to remember Demi Moore doing something like this...

...and she was way further into her pregnancy...and IMHO a MUCH prettier and savvier woman.

*wonders when it will finally sink in that when women get pregnant they get big bellies...:wow:*
:sarcasm: :eyes:

[AllNamesHaveBeenUsed]

28. Well... I can say this...

I'd much rather try to have a conversation with Demi. Brit strikes me as an idiot.

[MrSlayer]

36. With that, I will stick to my original statement.

Thanks.

[AlCzervik]

5. News is newsworthy, not infotainment and cross promotion.

[Texasgal]

6. Why post this then?

I mean, if you don't think it's big news than why add more interest?

[bdamomma]

7. Britney is such a waste

Keith hates reporting those stories.

[tuvor]

12. No one is a waste.

Now, the attention given to her--this thread included--that is a waste.

[bdamomma]

20. true, ok maybe no one is a waste

but I can think of a few who are in this government.

[Castilleja]

22. Nicely put!

:thumbsup: She does look nice with dark hair, though. Not that it is news worthy, just an observation.....;-)

[stevedeshazer]

9. You're right

I referred to it in another thread:

[Cocoa]

10. in the interest of informed discussion

I'd have to see the photos before answering. :-)

[zbird]

15. Here's a link.

[mike_c]

11. no....

That was easy. Britney who?

[leftofthedial]

13. works for me

but not newsworthy

[BlueStater]

17. I'm baffled about why she's still getting media attention

She hasn't released in an album in over two years. Shouldn't she have gone the way of the Spice Girls by now?

[tenshi816]

35. Oh, if only Britney would disappear like that...

Unfortunately we in the UK are still stuck with one of the Spice Girls - Victoria Beckham - who is desperately, pathetically clinging on to fame by virtue of being married to footballer David Beckham. I sometimes wonder what she's going to do when he finally retires and she can't get her photo in the newspapers and magazines every week.

[AllNamesHaveBeenUsed]

18. Newsworthy?

No. Nice to look at? :)

[femmocrat]

19. About as "newsworthy" as Star Jones!

Who gives a sh!t about these people????

[Captain Hilts]

34. Because Star vs. B Wa is kind of interesting/funny.

Lisa de Moreas' article about the feud in the Washington Post yesterday was a riot.

[Captain Hilts]

21. Because we need to get our minds off the war, etc. I would not choose...

to read about her, but some might.

[lonestarnot]

24. You may think it a good idea to get your mind off the war, I would counter

with dwelling on it may bring a solution and an end.

[Captain Hilts]

31. I live in Washington, have done volunteer work with the wounded...

at Bethesda Naval and am a regular platelet donor at Walter Reed. I have an appt. next week to donate.

Those who are most directly affected by the war DO need some diversion. If laughing at Britney Spears helps them forget for a few moments, then more power to them.

[lonestarnot]

23. You might want to add Massachusetts to your list of sufferers tonight.

I guess you did. East coast, sorry.

[BuddyYoung]

25. Her PR firm obviously thinks they're newsworthy.

That's how 30% of what's in the media gets there: PR firms.

[sandnsea]

27. Demi Moore posed pregnant & nude

I can't figure out why it was okay for her and not Britney. People really need to chill out, she really is a human being with real feelings. Are people going to start egging her next??

[H2O Man]

29. Yes. Definitely.

Pregnant women are beautiful. Because there are bad things going on does not mean that we should be restricted to only having the Cheney cult of death in the media. A pregnant woman is the miracle of life.

Also, during all the madness of the late 1960s, John & Yoko posed nude for their infamous first album, Two Virgins. It was a good thing.

[Triana]

30. She's a sad diversion...for people, the "news" media, or both...

....and she's grossly overrated. Personally, I find the photos of her knocked up disgusting. But, that's just me.

[theboss]

32. I subscribe to US Weekly and the Economist

And Rolling Stone. And US News. And Sports Illustrated.

I am interested in a lot of stuff.

[Mountainman]

33. I think there is room in my life for things other than tragedies.

In the picture she has a nice smile, nice skin, I like it. Seeing it made my day better. Now back to the more miserable side of life.

[charlie]

38. You can be sure that nice skin

and likely even the smile is retouched to a fare-thee-well. Every celeb photo gets the treatment nowadays.

37. Shots of Britney Spears are almost as newsworthy as........

Photos of sand in the Sahara or snow in Antarctica.

It's too bad that "get a life" isn't enforceable in a court of law.
