Work is really really boring today. I'm not sure why this happens - the ups and downs. I have a few issues to work, but they seem so terribly inconsequential (He who is faithful with little is also faithful with much). I guess the better thing would be for me to learn to appreciate even these too. Anyway, out of my boredom, and the recent stink some of my female friends have made over certain teenybopper heroes and their oh-so-interesting dating lives, I took an AIM poll, asking the question, "britney spears, hot or not?" (shows you how pathetically poor work is today) Now, I personally find her quite unattractive. I thought my tastes were more or less mainstream, but let's see what the polls have to say ... check it out:

Final count of today's informal poll: (male count)      HOT = 8      NOT HOT = 2 Ladies and gentlemen, the polls are closed, the count is in. Apparently I was very wrong. According to the registered voting block of My Buddy List (remember My Buddy? That freaky chucky-lookin doll with the catchy theme song that used to come on TV all the time? My buddy .... my buddy ... Wherever I go, he goes ... my buddy ... my buddy ... I’ll teach him everything I know…) Britney Spears is officially hot, by a landslide. *sobbing & weeping for humanity* By the way, I only counted the male votes because this entire poll stemmed from a discussion with Claire about the receptiveness of britney amongst men. The few female comments were thrown in for good measure, but not counted against the final total. I think my gripe with her alleged hotness is not so specific with britney, rather its the same gripe that some people have with much of top 40 music in general. It's way too manufactured (barf), way too packaged, and very unreal. Similiarly, britney has been handed an image to convey, and she's gone out and done a mediocre job of it. Nothing extraordinarily hot about that. On that note, thanks everyone for participating in the poll. May you guys have an awesome awesome day, and take everything here with a fat grain of salt. k thx bye.
