CRAZY

alright this is dedicated to britney spears i feel bad cause everyone picks on her. I pick on her too so i guess I feel into the trend.

 

CRAZY  

 

What if we had no TV

A box that turns

People into popularity

A mass of channels

With no clarity

Like Vh1

Or MTV

The worst one of them all

Is definitely “E” 

Where all they do is talk

S**t out Brittany

Who had a bunch of babies

Then supposedly goes crazy

I would turn the channel

However I’m too lazy

Loved it. I loved the rythym, the flow, the meaning, the humor, and especially the last part because I totally do the same exact thing.

PS. on a side note. MTV reminded me of it. I work at a nursing home and this lady was trying to take off her shirt cause she's crazier than brit spears. one of the nurses yelled at her and was like 'THIS AINT NO MTV MUSIC VIDEO!' True story, true story.

I find it fascinating that people care about this useless gossip. But at the same time, even I find it somewhat addictive. I love your topic. Well put

Short and to the point, like it a lot. Funny and oh,so true.

[Raef C. Boylan]

There's a lot of writing out there about this topic; people seem to have really enjoyed yours - I think it's the humour and the catchy rhyme scheme, and possibly the number of contemporary references.
You do make a good point about hypocrisy, and it hits hard due to the rest of the poen being more about the comedy than social commentary.

Overall, a decent and entertaining write.

p.s.
"S**t out Brittany" [= 's**t about'?] [also, is this a different Brittany/Britney, or are you mocking people's causal approach to spelling, even for their beloved celebrities, or...?]

I agree with the reviewer who said that "went crazy" would be more grammatically correct; however, the present tense makes this seem more conversation, so it's up to you [obviously].

I like this one. . . I am real "anti-TV"...yet sometimes get sucked in...great ending...pointing out my own hypocracy.

How true! We need a writing channel where we make sport of Dean Kuntz and Steven King!

[Danielle Asher]

lazy pretty much summed it up. isn't that why we all watch? we are too lazy to turn the channel.
great piece.

[Kristen R. Heyl]

nice insight. You have humor in there but you also have made your point. Why is it that we are slaves to the television and even more so the real time "drama" and destruction of other people's lives?

[Nicholas Hallows]

Very funny, very true and great rhythm. Thumbs up. NH

[Stephanie Allen]

I like how you used humor to bring up a very good point. Fun read, even if it is much too true. Keep it up!
