I may as well not hide my feelings. I don’t know if you saw Britney Spears’ act on TV today, but it was another sign of the coming Apocalypse, an example of decaying moral values in this country.
I know you’re saying, “Shut up! She put on an awesome show, going through a ring of fire in a sexy outfit!”
Yes, but she did it about 8 o’clock in the morning! She had to get up at like 6 a.m., pull on fishnet stockings, load big cans of Napalm into her station wagon and drive over to set up the act.
Who does stuff like this at that hour, when decent folks are sucking back scalding coffee, watching Krispy Kreme doughnuts come down the conveyor, or calling in sick?
When I was growing up, we had only one firm rule in our house: NO rings of fire until noon, no matter what! So don’t come crying to me if your kid burns down the house early tomorrow, trying to be just like Britney.

That was a tad ostentatious for Good Morning America, I thought. If it was me, I might have saved a few dancers and the pyrotechnics for the evening show, instead of ruining the surprise on the morning crowd.
- Posted by Mary KNice to see Britney is taking the next step in her career - the newest tiger in the Siegfried & Roy Holiday Spectacular!
- Posted by Jim RNext time she tries this she’ll probably burn herself.
- Posted by jonJudging by the conflagration, it appears she did load up some big cans of napalm when 6-8 ounces would have been plenty for that size ring. They’re lucky they didn’t lose the studio. Notice the fire extinguishers blasting away impotently from either side…
- Posted by gwmcI wondered why I saw people walking through the Penn Station subway stop today carrying Britney Spears signs… I thought there was a new Hare Krishna sect or something.
- Posted by LhyzzLucky she wasn’t Michael Jackson, or else they’d have had a fully-blown pyro-emergency!
- Posted by MLuckily, her human suit didn’t melt off to expose her true alien form.
- Posted by KI see lights…I see no fire extinguishers. It’s a sad day when this is news worthy stuff…even if its not serious news. Honestly, does the queen of all blow hards really need another “story” done up about her? What is wrong with this country when a terrible mother/pop star can warrant so much attention? I get it…she’s hot in a trailer park trash kind of way, can’t we move on?
- Posted by GrimathyI think the homage to Richard Pryor was in poor taste.
- Posted by John C AbellBig … deal. I’ve eaten more dangerous onion rings. And I’ve seen better buns on a hamburger.
