Hell, MTV is one powerful culture machine. But then again, it also came up with Jackass. It had once made the Spice Girls artiste of the month. It repeatedly played videos by the Backstreet Boys. Obviously, as powerful as it is, MTV can REALLY cock up.
So I bring to you episode 1 of Dumbass Moments in MTV History, where we showcase the worst in mankind's finest invention.
In this episode, we present to you the music video that made 'Britney' join the ranks of Pamela, Jenna and Monica in The List Of Famous Dumb Women...
The video starts normal enough...
...stupid constructed location that's a waste of studio space, gay male dancers, female dancers showing enough skin to make chee ko peks choke on their bakkwa. Standard pop video material.
It's also a video that reveals conspiracy theories about Miss Spears. Britney Spears is really a robot, and her boobs are fake. Press her left boob and the vampbot will breathe fire.
Cry Me A River wasn't about her break-up with Justin Timberlake. It's about his need for an extinguisher.
Even Elmo made a cameo, after shaving and a sex-change operation.
The video was cheesy as hell, but it hadn't crossed into dumbass territory. Yet.
Then, just when you least expect it, the video gets REALLY dumb. Britney spins out of her Elmo outfit to face some random guy who took the wrong turn on his way to a costume party. What follows is one of the dumbest sequence ever in entertainment history...
"All aboard"
"Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have"
"Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"
"Yeah, yes it is"
"But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end"
"Well baby, I went down and got it for you"
"Oh, you shouldn't have"
What in fuck was that? Man....
