Before any of you avid thegoont readers out there go crazy and throw down $1+ million for Britney Spears’ recently shorn hair, I encourage you to watch the following Sarah McLachlan video to see what she did with $150,000. It’s really impressive what she did and really sad what people want (opening bid: $1Million) for the memoir and publicity of the controversy of an under talented white trash, ex-Mickey-Mouse-club pop star.
What’s really hard for me is that it doesn’t seem we’ve actually even heard anything from Britney that made her famous, ie. her music. Her fame now is riding the wake of her prior fame mixed with a spiral of controversy that reporters just eat right up.
To be fair, the aforementioned site does plan on donating a “portion of the proceeds” to various charities, but who knows what that means? Anyway, I wonder what someone will give me for my facial trimmings this morning. I could start “buythegoontsfacialhairfromthismorning.com.” Opening bid? $20. Not much, but hey, it’s residual!
