I’m feeling snarky. The first comment caused me to choke on the popcorn I was eating. It just got more and more rich as I read further.
Mr. Lauer did ask Ms. Spears why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child.
“Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture,” she replied. “I’m sure he’ll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there’s lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving.”
Ms. Spears also said that Namibia reminds her of California “because it’s on the ocean and there’s lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there’s less chance he would be hurt and we’d have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time.”
Finally, said Ms. Spears, “I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That’s so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had.”
Here I am, trying to conceive, and this twit is on her second child.
Update: According to Husband, I’ve been trolled! The article is a spoof. Well, it was listed on Google news. So reader beware!
Still, it seems true-to-life enough that I could imagine her saying this stuff.
This story was mentioned on my daughter’s radio station this morning, but the DJ’s didn’t know it was a spoof. They talked about it as though the quotes were real. If it is a spoof, it’s so in-character that it sounds like most people can’t tell the difference.
I watched a portion of the Lauer-Spears interview last night on TV, until I couldn’t bear it any more. The part that intrigued me was Matt Lauer’s striaght face, but then he put up with Katie all those years. What does all this say about our mindless culture?
