Britney Spears: Classy Comeback or Trampy Trailer-Trash?

7 answers, 0 raves

In the spirit of fairness, and since I posted a PolyTicks cartoon two years ago "bashing" Britney for her paparazzi panty-peek episode (see original comic here: http://polyticks.smackjeeves.com/comics/453512/oops-she-did-i... ), I thought it only right that I should recognize the amazing comeback she's accomplished on the tail-end of 2008 (Click on the poll image to the left to see the full-size "Comeback" cartoon). After a series of events that can only be described as "crazy" -- including the infamous panty-peek (or should I say "no-panty peek"), tongue-kissing Madonna at the MTV Music Awards, shaving her head and attacking a car with an umbrella, and a dismal earlier attempt of a comeback at the 2007 VMAs -- Britney Spears salvaged her career in an amazing comeback, releasing a new CD and a hit single, "Womanizer." In the music video for the new single, Britney writhes naked in a sauna. Well, she's still flashing her audience... only this time, she's doing it "tastefully." And since then, she's released a new single: "If U Seek Amy," which is a trashy play on a not-so-clever euphamism (say it out loud, slowly). Maybe the comeback is destined to be short-lived? Is it just me or does anybody else miss the sweet, innocent Mickey Mouse Club days?

Natalie Dylan... what think you?

2 answers, +1 raves

22-year-old Natalie Dylan is selling her virginity to the highest bidder, and the auction (which started at $1 million) is now in excess of $3 million (as of 21 hours ago reported to be $3.7 million), having received offers from more than 10,000 men. (See story at http://www.opposingviews.com/articles/news-auction-for-natali...) Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL), on the other hand, tried to sell President Obama's Senate Seat to the highest bidder and was subsequently impeached for his brazen activities. In today's comic, politics meets prostitution in a battle over the bid. (Note Blago's bumper sticker: "Power Corrupts: Isn't that what it's for?"

Vice President Dick Cheney recently told a joke stereotyping West Virginia as a state prone to incest. Was his comment offensive or funny?

Vice President Dick Cheney recently told a joke stereotyping West Virginia as a state prone to incest. Was his comment offensive or funny?

9 answers, +2 raves

Source: The Washington Post http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/06/dick_cheneys_in... Vice President Dick Cheney has apologized through his spokeswoman for making an offhand joke during a speech at the National Press Club Monday stereotyping West Virginia as a state prone to incest.... Cheney's statement came after West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin added his voice to the chorus of outrage from Mountain State politicians (including WV Senators Jay Rockefeller and Robert Byrd) and demanded an apology from the veep.... Cheney was at the Press Club to congratulate this year's winners of the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. During a question-and-answer session toward the end of the luncheon, someone asked the vice president about his wife Lynne Cheney's revelation on MSNBC last year that "Dick and Barack Obama are eighth cousins." The questioner jokingly asked the vice president if he and Obama were going to have a family reunion, to which Cheney replied he would "have no objections" though he said he doubted Obama would want one - "certainly not before November." Then came the offensive punch line. Cheney explained that during the course of researching his family lineage for Lynne's memoir "Blue Skies, No Fences" last year, he learned there were Cheneys on both his father's and his mother's side of the family. There was a Richard Cheney on his mother's side, the vice president said. "So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney quipped.
