So, Rolling Stone came today with a cover of Britney Spears all monochrome and sad-face and BRITNEY SPEARS: INSIDE AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY splashed on the cover, and I actually had a sort of rage blackout. I stomped in the house, called my mom, and said, SHE ISN'T DEAD, YET, WTF. Are people TRYING to push her over the edge? It grosses me out! It pisses me off! You can't tell me the she'd be THIS crazy if it weren't for people being so OBSESSED with her and nasty about it and just--anyway, rage blackout, I'm better now.

But on page 33 is a picture of Brendon and Jon from the Nine if the Afternoon shoot, captioned Brendon and Jon eye each other lecherously while molesting an elephant, so, you know. Way to sort of attempt to buy back into my good graces, RS. Just--a little more dignity than ONTD would be nice. Ugh.

I was just thinking about this today, too! I stopped by the corner grocery to buy some baking supplies on the way home from work, rather than trekking across town to the natural foods store, and there was a huge rack of tabloidesque rags by the checkout stand. US Weekly's cover had deranged pictures of Britney Spears and the Olsen twins on it:

'SICK SISTERS' TWISTED WORLD' (quote)
'BRITNEY COMMITTED: TRAUMA IN PSYCH' (something like that)

and in the cover sidebar, a picture of Jamie Lynn Spears, 'JAMIE LYNN SPEARS SLIPPING - PREGNANT AND PARTYING.'

The cover was predatory and disgusting, I felt that it was gloating in these peoples' psychological problems. Ugh, ugh, ugh! what the fuck kind of sadistic fuckwad reads these things?
