Britney in the Shell

Saturday, March 15th, 2008 at 4:00 am by Jami

Hey Britney! The Major called. She wants her Tachikoma back!

I’ve been proud of the fact that I haven’t written anything about Britney Spears anywhere.

Until now.

And you have reader Kevin Bahrt to thank.

It appears that Britney Spears watched some Ghost in the Shell in between shaving her head and flashing her cooch. The result is her latest music video. You should probably disconnect your speakers right now.

If you imagine that this is actually a test animation for a Samus Aran anime, this is (and I should be flogged, burned, and spat upon for saying such a thing) somewhat entertaining. Somewhat. If I were to think too hard, I would recognize that it’s horribly derivative, moves too slowly for such a short animated piece, and the action lacks the punch of the thing it’s trying to imitate. Oh, and the track is utterly forgettable.

What worries me most is the phrase “to be continued” thrown up at the end. No good can come of more. This is worse than that Avril manga.

    ……..I’ve never seen you get so many Pingbacks on a single post. That’s depressing and scary.

    And if anyone did anything that derivative of an *American* animation, they’d have a copyright suit on their asses so fast it’s not even funny. It’s like “let’s do a crappy version of GitS, with Britney Spears!” Jami, you have scared me for life by baiting my morbid curiosity!!!!

    Wow, the “music” is so incredibly bad. With the corporations dumping billions of dollars into this bimbo to make her a superstar, I wonder if they’ve broke even yet. Is there that much baby-sitting money being passed around?? The “anime” is wretched - that isn’t her, doesn’t even come close. Needs more white-trashiness and more confusion of her surroundings. What exactly is happening in the video? Seems like cliché anime scenes stitched together in a non-cohesive way. It’s a pure and total clusterfuck. It’s one of the few things in this world I which I could unwatch. Gahhh!

    Her and Lolcats need to leave the planet.

    cwap. Already “no longer available due to copyright third party claim”. I must have gotten a curse of some sort :p

    One of the security guys reminded me of Akuma from Street Fighter.

    Sorry the video was linked on a forum I visit and this was the only place I could think of to warn people. The only possible good that can come from this is that the few fans of *censored for decency* will see this and look into anime, see how awesome it is and forget about everything they’ve ever seen her perform, and her as well.

    I hate you all and you deserve to suffer.

    That could be the only plausable reason for me posting this, functioning, link:

    It’s a corporate-constructed AMV.
    Next week: Coke ads on 4chan.

    They really needed to add in sound effects to give it a bit of punch.. It just feels like a shoddy fan made AMV.. That said, I’m pretty sure someone out there will replace the song with something else entirely better!

    To quote Pason:
    What the boop is this booping boop? Where the boop does she get this boop and boop the industry!

    Now that I got that out of my system… what exactly is a “ping back”?

    Hey, if you hit the “mute” button, it’s a perfectly watchable AMV. Wait… it’s just an AV, in this case :D .

    Gaaah the song didn’t match the animation the animation wasn’t very good (lots of low budget tricks) the content was HIGHLY derivative and to top it all of they didn’t even make the character look like *SHE WHO SHALL REMAIN UNNAMED* at all (oh also the smile was creepy)

    (Watches first 8 seconds) Hmm, take her voice out and this could be a decent song (Watches next 20 seconds) AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! x_x I should have unplugged my speakers!!!

    . . .people really like this song, that’s a damn shame. The video was ok I guess, she just looked crazy through the whole thing. The smiles were just too creepy.

    I’m really confused how that music video was at all relevent to the song.
    The video is about…killing a guy with sex? (makes sense. You’ll get some fatal disease from her snatch anyhow). And then killing clones and guards? it has a very…cliche’ed anime theme.
    The song: about her grinding on some guy, waiting til he gets an erection. Seriously. Look it up. Seems kinda…skewed from the video, doesnt it?

    After watching that video… I guess I learnt a lesson.

    It wasn’t just luck that the video on the front page was gone. It was for a perfectly good reason. A reason I had to learn the hard way.

    Damn it all. Curiosity killed the cat and all.

    Luckily, I see it’s nothing horribly memorable. It’ll be gone by next week.
