[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9343995/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9343995/) I like how 68% of MSNBC voters feel Britney will not make a good mother. So I guess I’m not alone in really feeling sorry for this kid. Happy ---

He was, I hear, wearing a black vinyl bodysuit. And had Federline’s high school class ring in his mouth. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Don’t forget, he’s releasing a rap album next year. So we should prepare now by destroying televisions, radios, and boycotting every music store on the planet? Or perhaps just buying some earplugs 😛 I personally don’t think she’d make a bad mother, but that doesnt necessarily mean that I think she’ll make a good one :rolleyes: ---

The blurb I read on AOL News had this to say: > [@](#): > > Spears, who married Federline in September last year, had been previously reported as saying she planned to have the baby by Caesarean section **to avoid the pain of a natural birth.** As someone who has given birth to two kids, one vaginally and one c-section, I gotta tell you, she really didn’t think that whole “avoiding pain” thing through. She’d have been better off with an epidural and popping him out naturally. The pain and recovery after a c-section was much worse than a vaginal birth. She’s a moron. ---

Britney may not be the smartest perosn on Earth. And she doesn’t have a lot of talent. But her family life doesn’t seem any more screwed up than the average celebrity’s. I figure little Preston has at least a chance in life. It’s “Blanket” Jackson I expect to see having a dozen dead prostitutes dug out of his basement some day. ---

> [@Squink](#): > > It saddened me that msnbc didn’t actually use your wonderful headline. I actually used to write headlines for a living. My crowning jewel, which I thought would **never** actually make it to print: “City erection halted” in reference to a construction project put on hold. When called out on it by my editor, I challenged her to do better. She couldn’t, but I don’t think she really tried. I suspect she was somewhat intrigued by seeing the word ‘erection’ in 44-point font. Granted it was buried in the middle of the section, but it was always my goal to get the words “erection” or “erects” somewhere on the front page. Never happened tho. My second choice for this thread title: “Pop tart’s filling removed.” Happy ---
