I doubt many people reading this ever considered buying Britney's album, but hey.

[dennis1x]

mmmmmmm britney

[Freemyland]

Yeah. I guess I have been boycotting Britney all along, and didn't even realize it.

[Big Dan]

"Family-friendly" Rosie O'Donnell show?

[Psalm 73]

Oh, OK. I promise I won't buy any of her albums.

[Happygal]

``Spears has found success by simultaneously playing 'good girl' and 'sexy vixen.' ''

Hey, don't all women do this? *LOL* I mean, depends on whether you are looking for a fella in a club or Sunday school! *L* Hell, I know I've done both! *LOL*

Can't say I've had the same success as Britney mind you! *ROFL*

My kids (12 and 10) consider Britney Spears "uncool" and apparently so do their peers. But we used to say that about Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond when I was a kid and while those artists would sell tens of millions of records, not a single person would admit to owning one.

Though if my kids did like Britney Spears, I couldn't complain that much. When I was their age, I was listening to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Now THOSE were the days...

[Always Right]

"Family-friendly" Rosie O'Donnell show?

That struck me as funny too.

[GeekDejure]

Geez . . . what's with all this "boycot" crap . . . doesn't anybody ever "GIRLCOT" ???

[Don Myers]

"unless you live next to a whorehouse. Yet though her actions make her look like a slut, at times she still behaves like a role model (part-time) to hang on to her young girl fan base."

I agree completely. And I don't buy her music anyway.

[ZULU]

I like to watch her music.

[kcpopps]

Yet though her actions make her look like a slut, at times she still behaves like a role model (part-time) to hang on to her young girl fan base.

My 15 year old daughter was a fan early on, but now uses the term "skank" when describing Spears. And I didn't have any input in that (at least not directly).

[parting shot]

Get a Grip!

We place to much emphasis on these people. We make them "Role Models" by giving them this type of consideration.

If you don't want your kids to see her as a role model, make sure your kids "values" are correct and they will see here for what she is. an opportunist!

[daviddennis]

I have boycotted her from the second I first heard her voice.

How the heck can people stand her music? She can't sing.

I wouldn't boycott her for the reason stated above, though. I suspect most girls want to be wholesome sex kittens. Heck, would you rather have a wholesome girl as a lover or a sex kitten? Best to have someone with a mix of both, no?

[Britton J Wingfield]

One of many "musicians" who's videos I enjoy with the sound turned off.

[boycott]

Cornell giving us lessons on morality?

Please!!! I guess they're upset with Britney because she's not a bull like so many of them at Cornell.
