This is quickly becoming a blog where I attack 24 hour news stations on a regular basis but I can’t help it. The actual theme of this blog is just what is says in the title bar: An analysis of the craziness that goes on in the world. It’s not my fault that MSNBC and others just keep on bringing the crazy.
Crazy like their obsession with Britney Spears and the lack of panties in her wardrobe.
I don’t care where you stand on not wearing panties in public because it really doesn’t make a difference. Britney Spears has proved time and time again in the past week she’s melting down in a spectacular fashion and really shouldn’t have custody of her kids. She didn’t even bother to come to court today to try and gain overnight visits with her sons. Frankly I don’t pick on her nearly as much as I should but the rest of the internet is doing a fine enough job without me. With that said, wearing panties in public has nothing to do with your mothering abilities. So why do reporters keep throwing that in there every time her faults are mentioned? They mentioned it again just as I typed the previous sentence.
There’s this reporter on MSNBC named Contessa Brewer and I’ll be completely honest when I say I don’t have a problem with the girl. She’s obviously worked very hard to get where she’s at and I’m sure it’s not her fault that MSNBC keeps throwing celebrity stories at her to cover. The problem with Contessa is that she’s one of those girls that stops acting like a news reporter and turns into a 17 year old girl in high school every time someone starts talking about Paris or Britney. She’s not the only one. Chris Jansing does it. Alex Witt does it.
I’m bringing this up today not to defend or fight against the right to wear panties, but because I just watched Contessa Brewer give a rant about Britney’s lack of undies after another reporter told her that TMZ caught Britney Spears the other day coming out of her car free as a birdie again. Contessa let out an exclamation along the lines of “oh my God” and put her head in her hands like she couldn’t believe it. Contessa Brewer then proved she’s not quite as smart as I thought she was when she said she had heard of people going commando before but never any that got caught as much as Spears. Apparently someone forgot to tell her there’s this group of people out there called paparazzi that follow celebrities around and snap pictures of them on a regular basis and sometimes like to get shots of said celebrities not wearing any clothes. Color me crazy but this could have something to do with the fact that Spears gets caught so much. I mean, I might be wrong, but I have an inclining I’m right this time.
It didn’t stop there though, no Contessa had a little more to say. She started talking about her Grandmother and others in her family that believed it was right for a female to act like a lady when they go out. I was waiting for her to start talking about Victorian dresses that don’t show any ankle and the proper way to hold an umbrella to keep the sun off of a ladies’ fair skin but it never came.
Hey MSNBC? Any chance you could stop talking about celebrities so much, ask your reporters to start acting like news reporters, and actually cover something that’s worth a damn every once in awhile? At this point I can’t believe I used to actually get my news from this station. If you insist on covering Britney Spears, there’s much more serious issues with her than her ability to put a pair of panties on in the morning.
… Did I just defend #*%!ing Britney Spears?
