Is it Gothic or punk to think this Britney Speaks story is funny?

[Amelia G]

So apparently Britney Spears was buying herself a puppy. Her mom is driving because Britney's knee is injured. So she comes out of the pet store and is mobbed by photographers. She's not really wearing makeup and her hair is not washed and she is basically put together the way I am when I go for a latte in the middle of a project. Only I don't have to deal with a zillion freaks trying to immortalize me at my frumpiest.

So anyway, their car is surrounded by papparazzi and Britney's mother drives their vehicle over one of the tabloid photogs shooting from the middle of the street. There are people talking like Britney sure is a big jerk because this accident happened.

Did I mention that the blonde pop singer with the cute puppy was spending quality time with her mommy and they ran over some fucker who probably deserved it. I find this morbidly hysterical. Is finding this funny punk or gothic?

[Drakken]

Neither! It's a human response entirely!
And a pretty damn entertaining one above all else!

[BrightStar]

I would have to have been there in a case like that, to decide if it is funny, but the guy DID deserve it if he was standing right in the middle of the street.

So it is kind of a sad story, but also very funny at the same time.

I hate tabloids and people who disrupt other people's private lives for a living. Was the shooter in question horribly injured? I hope.

I have little pity for people who are rich and famous. But there are consequences to harrassment and this guy/gal got it. I'm smiling... in a punk-ass way

[Tequila Zaire]

Ah the papparazzi...that lil line that keeps all of us filled with images of celebrities walking into clubs or their cars.

Why is it not legal to hunt them for sport yet? I want to have one of their heads on my wall and say stuff like "Crikey! See this here was the Greater Hollywood Picture Snapper. Though the species is common this particular species gives out a high peirced yell of LOOK HERE! LOOKE HERE! Sadly they never mate because well no one sleeps with them. This one was killed near an expedition into Sunset Blvd. in search of The Great Sunset Celebrity Hound."

Britney Spears rocks sweet rubber catsuits and has a backside like a basketball. I'd prefer that she was doing porn as opposed to lip-sync tours, but I appreciate her human worth above an entire mob of assaultive scumbags who make a living selling ugly pictures.

[DescendingAngel]

Wow that is funny. Pretty sad when you can't even go to the pet store without there being a huge fuss. And like you all said, the guy shouldnt have been standing in the middle of the street. Any idiot that stands in the middle of the road deserves to be hit...especially if he is too busy looking through the camera lens instead of the road.

[Jasperino]

The only thing funnier would have been if I was driving and Britney, her mom and the photographer was getting hit

[Jenn Bats]

the guy did deserve it!
leave poor britney alone.
ehheeee

Somehow Bjork doing that is extra funny as her music is almost coma-inducing. I'm getting a really humorous mental image of that. Go Bjork!
