Britney's misery causes bonanza - 01/28/08 08:48 PM
I just found this article in USA Today:
An economy grows around Britney Spears
According to the article, the worse things get for Britney, the more money people make on her. That's because her tragedies generate such huge public interest.
I have a book at home called Careless Love. It is about Elvis Presley's life, and the author, Peter Guralnick, makes the case that Elvis was given more unthinking adoration than a human being can stand. Elvis was, in some sense, loved to death.
But if Britney Spears meets with an early grave, I think she will have been jeered and booed to death. Oh, there will be other reasons for her demise too, of course - provided it happens too soon in the first place - but if so, the contempt she was so generously given by much of the world will have a lot to do with it. And I wonder how many will greet the news of her death by thanking their God or the stars or their mothers or their own good characters that they, at least, are not like Britney Spears.
