Videogum Is About To Get Even More Popular With Teenage Girls

thumbnail icon: Videogum Is About To Get Even More Popular With Teenage Girls

In the event that this site is flooded with a whole bunch of new 14-year-old girl readers, it is because I wrote a post over at BritneySpears.com.

Q: Wait, Britney Spears Dot Com, as in the Official Website of Britney SpearsK
A: Yes.
Q: But, Gabe, why?
A: I HAVE NO IDEA. THINGS HAPPEN.

It's called "10 'Womanizer' Goofs," and in it, I describe 10 errors in Ms. Spears's most recent music video. You can read it here. It was a challenge to keep it all in good fun. So, I do not mention the time that Britney drove around with her child on the roof of her lap, or the fact that her public meltdown was so extreme as to render any kind of redemptive comeback story decidedly moot and ridiculous. Nope, just some funtime jokes about office work and sink functionality.

The post has already garnered a few enlightening comments, including "K, this isn't video on trial," and "You're lookin' fancy and I like your style...COME TO ARGENTINA!!!!!" So if we're lucky, some of that insight and desire to have Britney Spears perform in South America will trickle down to our own forums. FINGERS CROZZED.

"stoves have faucets attached now a days, its convenient for cooking complicated meals, such as square eggs.", says roblovesbritney......LOL It was worth following the link if only for this comment ESPECIALLY if roblovesbritney is serious.

Gabe, I love how you so offhandedly mention that the apocalypse may have befallen all us Videogum readers. Sweet. Thanks.

Gabe, to echo the sentiment above, it would be super cool if you would retroactively review all of the "trapped in the closet" episodes. Like when you're done with the "worst movies", this would be the BEST idea for a new running gag. Also black people. Expanding your target demo can be good! Seriously though, please.

Good choice with the Wylie Dufresne reference. Totally stumped the kids and their not-knowing-who-Wylie-Dufresne-is-ness.

For the first time Gabe, the comments are funnier than your actual post...

"we're having fun!!!...Britney's video is awesome and this post is just to read it and laugh, 'cause the square egg is NOT an actual goof for instance!!!"

Yes! Too funny. But you might wanna stick to instigating homophobia flame-wars.

i don't know which is funnier: that she still has fans, fans that are so fanatic that they post on her message board, or that this is coming from me, who feels the need to tell the internet what she thinks about music every day?

Yes, but the music we listen to isn't Britney Spears.

Well, Britney Spiers know how to forge an excellent music of high quality and that's why ut is really popular among the teenagers. She is not only beautiful she is very gifted. I have been playing her last song over and over the last few days. One of the best songs that I have ever heard. Lyrics, music and harmonies flow so well in this song of lost love.
