In South Park, they sacrificed Britney by hunting her down with cameras just so they can have a good harvest. Guess who is next to be harvested, Myley Cyrus.

I've seen lots of authors and experts do this very successfully. Author and child safety expert Debra Holtzman, for example, writes and distributes press releases whenever a celeb is shown doing something wrong. Example: Brad Pitt was spotted riding a bike with his kid in a backpack. Debra issued a press release commenting on how dumb that was. Britney is shown driving with one of her kids on her lap, and Debra springs into action. She has gotten a glut of publicity from MSM not only for her expertise as a child safety expert but for her commentary on the celebs and their kids.

They're specifically partly living off of the life force of one somewhat messed up former child star. We created her, we destroyed her, now we eat her. There is nothing that Britney Spears could possibly have done to her children that is nearly as evil as what AP is doing to her. They’re not just sucking cash from celebrities.

How sad is is that the "Perez Hilton" effect has actually had a major effect on what WAS the source for timely reporting. They're hurting for money, saw how much Perez is making per month, and said "give us some of that". This weeks South Park (Britney Watch!) said it all. This country makes me sad, and I live here. Wow.

Americans living in shantytowns because of home foreclosures, check. Government in debt to hostile foreign nations, check. Elections manipulated, check. Cornerstone of Freedom, a Free Press spends all of its time covering celebrities, check. I think the fall of the US Empire is just about complete. Hmmm, lets see.
