frustrated rant: Britney gets the headlines

[fsquared]

So, I'm greeted on Yahoo with a headline linking to a withering review of BritBrit's new video, a breathless story about a suicide watch, and a chastisement of a radio station for running a Britney death pool. And OK, I'm rubbernecking a little like everyone else, when I think to myself, "why isn't 'le grand retour' of an apparently normal, well-adjusted, reasonably scandal-free pop star (at worst, a little trumped-up potential cooling in the relationship with her ex-mentor) with a new hit single getting the headlines, huh? What does that say about us as media consumers? Grrr..."

Sorry, just had to vent a little.
