Britney Spears: Are We to Blame?
The following italicized article is from www.tnppostwoman.com:
Raven Says: I look at pictures of Britney Spears and I don’t see a faded pop star whose best days are behind her, nor do I see a mother or daughter poster child for crappy-family advertisements or potential A Life Gone Wrong TV mini-dramas.
Instead, I see a girl whose eyes are dead. That’s it. I see a girl whose freedom has been raped and violated to the point that her soul has curled up and died inside her. I see someone whose cries for help have been documented and then outright ignored by most of the world. I see a slow suicide that we all watch, bug-eyed and mesmerised, too dulled by the violence and blood on TV to feel the humanity creeping from us as we read the rest of the article on her latest dramas, our simple action encouraging her extrication from sanity and society.
Her choice of fame was made when she was too young to fully realize the implications. At some point she’ll disappear from our lives; we don’t know how - she might go mad, become a recluse or simply die, and we’ll move on to the next victim, turn the page and read the rest of the article, a little bit sadder, a little bit less human than we were before her.
Yes, I feel pity for her, but more so I feel pity for all the less-than-average morons of society who bother spending their hate and negativity on her life instead of paying attention to the fact that as humans go, they are far more despicable than the tortured Ms. Spears.
Tell Us: Are we partly to blame for craving every morsel of gossip on Britney Spears? Or is the neverending drama her own doing?
