Britney's New Video Is Blowing Up

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Britney takes a great fall, meets some sketchy men and then blows herself up.

Oh, the subtext.

We just got a look at Britney's new video for "Break the Ice" and have to say that, like most anime, it's an incomprehensible mix of explosions, slow-mo dance moves and some kind of ninja riot police.

And yet its meaning is clear: Britney is a superpowered woman in skintight clothes who overcomes adversity by nuking herself and everyone around her.

Yeah, the last part is a little Freudian for our taste.

In the video, Super Spears finds something in a floating tank—her soul? her real self? her aquatic dopplegänger?—and proceeds to apply a time bomb to the tank, blowing it and everyone else to bits as she jumps out a skyscraper window all Die Hard-style. The video ends with the promise (or threat) that it will be continued.

That's a good thing, right?
