Britney Hits an All-Time (Disgusting) Low

So, you thought you knew everything there was to know about Britney's disgusting side? No, that's not a rhetorical question. After reading (and seeing) the latest news on the terribly deranged popwreck, I had to take a trip to the bathroom, calm my stomach and take a good look at myself in the mirror, wondering if the image of what I have just seen will ever be un-stuck from where it was just burnt into my retina. And the fact is, at some remote level I did believe I had seen pretty much everything there was to see in the area of "Britney grossness" - but I was woefully wrong. I mean, we all know Britney is a professional flasher, and has pretty much made history by giving us an all-access pass to her private parts - somethings that, as one of my friends was saying, was not a blessing of any sort. We've seen her coochie and her breasts on more occasions that I could count and in various states of exposure. But her latest such adventure is... well, gross beyond words.

I must say, I hesitated a lot before posting a link to these photos - and be warned, they are disgusting, upsetting and definitely NSFW. Definitely not to be seen if you've just done eating. But here you are - proof that Britney's not pregnant and proof that they would snap and post anything about Britney on the Internet. The line between journalism and intrusion into a person's private life is already a very fine one, and in Britney's case it's trampled and blatantly crossed pretty much every day. I don't want to get into a long talk here about how much of this is her fault and how much can be put down to the public demanding their daily share of sensational news - the fact is, when a celebrity is snapped with a blood-stained tampon hanging out, there's a double reason to be disgusted: one, that a woman actually allowed that to happen and didn't look after herself well enough, and two, that a photo agency would make this a public issue.

But yes, in case you were thinking whether there was an upside to this, at least the popwreck is not pregnant and she won't be losing custody of yet another kid... I know, we sometimes have to pay the price for our daily news, and this is one of the occasions in which the price is an upset stomach and a burnt retina. But hey, this is Britney after all, and in her world anything can happen - and when I say anything, I mean... anything at all. No restrictions, no shame, no decency and no privacy. I guess celebrity really has its downside, huh?
