Dear Britney,

Recently, a friend sent me your new music extravaganza, Womanizer. I want to congratulate you on making a snappy tune – I really do find it addictive, and I regretfully admit that it is presently stuck in my head.

But frankly, I think artists like yourself, such as Beyoncé in If I Were A Boy, have given men a hard rep recently. Regardless of whether you made this song, or whether you had a team of pop scientists create it in a controlled music environment, or whether it was just intended to be a quick selling pop song, I feel slightly offended.

I did some more research on the topic of adultery and cheating after listening to your YouTube video, and I found some interesting facts.

MSNBC did a piece on the results of a 70,000 person internet survey. Based upon the time a relationship has been together, the rate of infidelity in a relationship changes, corresponding to gender. When a relationship is between two and twenty years of age, the rate of cheating among women is greater than or equal to that of men’s. After a twenty year period both rates of men and women cheating drastically drops to an inconsequential number – a paltry two and three percent.

You and K-Fed were together two years and one month.

Another article by the New York Times says:

“Notably, women appear to be closing the adultery gap: younger women appear to be cheating on their spouses nearly as often as men.” Although it is preceded by, “Infidelity appears to be on the rise, particularly among older men and young couples.”

Additionally..

“The fidelity gap may be explained more by cultural pressures than any real difference in sex drives between men and women. Men with multiple partners typically are viewed as virile, while women are considered promiscuous.”

So there, Brit. I didn’t even pull the cheap shot of mentioning the irony in you calling him a womanizer, although you seem to be the most scantily clad person in the video.

Did ya see the Nokia phone in Britney’s video? Good product placement, huh? Try 1:28. It gets a total of 7 seconds screen time – someone timed it.

I chuckle:

Wait. I thought Koffi Anan was writing me this email. What?

Some of you might have had trouble digging my most popular story for this month. Why? The person who submitted, a personal friend was banned by Digg last night.

This is his story by way of a forward email.

Woah, don’t go out and buy more than one Shiny New Piece of Trash. Maybe that is a little bit harsh, but do you really need TWO iPhones? There is probably a better way to spend your money. I wish Apple wouldn’t have limited, someone would come in, buy all the phones, and put them on Ebay for a huge markup. Then no one would get one. It would be for the best. Unfortunately, I don’t always get my way. Apple limited the maximum consumption per person to two iPhones.

Still, Apple has stopped all those nincompoops and Apple fanboys, who insisted on being first in line for the bloody product, from being too overzealous. A fanboy on Twitter, imagined a story. {Thanks for Tip by Dan York of Disruptive Conversations}

[It revolved around] a series of what looked like posts from an embedded war reporter (albeit one in a dumpster), he rapidly had Canada, Mexico and Russia invading the US to get all of our iPhones, the USA being wiped out and the ultimate collapse of civilization.

Sort of strange, I know. But it shows you to what lengths people are willing to go for these silly phones. Steve Jobs, the fake one, published this story.

Some dame in Dallas showed up last Friday with thousands of dollars in cash hoping to buy out the whole store and sell the phones on eBay. She paid a kid $800 to give up the first spot in line and rushed in, only to find out they were only selling one phone per person. D’oh! Dumbass. Better yet, then the kid who gave up his spot just walked in a few minutes later and bought his iPhone, no problem.

This guy deserves what he got. All iPhone users are throwing their money down the well. There are alot of reasons I am saying this. I read reviews here, and here. Besides some peoples glowing reviews, I would never buy one. That isn’t to say that I wouln’t take one (wink wink, nudge nudge).

Last point, would you rather get 30 lap dances, or an iPhone? What would convince you to spend 600 dollares on one? Or are you already convinced?
