Britney Spears

Southern-fried Sex Kitten, Bending Spoons with Britney Spears is a very witty interview which can appeal to the majority of society. Pop culture has taken over the media and therefore probably every single person that has access t o a television, radio or newspaper knows who Britney Spears is and loves to hear about her success and even more about her failures. The simple fact that the essay is based on her makes it an excellent attention grabber; the author is very harsh in the way he talks to her and the idea that he is blatantly making fun of her and her ideals makes its even more taboo. He criticizes her lack of recognition of sexual image portrayed to her public; he uses repetition throughout the whole essay to emphasize his argument. He also uses sarcasm to give it a satiric twist making many of his sentences have a double meaning. His ironic humor makes his allusions to pop culture even more effective; he does not need to provide any background information because he has the advantage that his subject overly known. He doesn’t provide an actual explanation as to why Britney behaves the way she does, he simply states that she is a confused celebrity that drives herself to believe that what she does is not controversial at all. His writing is very casual and conversation-like making the essay much more relaxed than any other formal piece of writing.
