I was reading my RSS Feeds in class today and I found an interesting one on Salon: Machinist. It was titled Britney Spears is Stimulating the Economy (for real.) I was a little shocked. Britney Spears can't even hold her own life together, how is she stimulating a whole nation's economy? According the article, Spears generates an enormous amount of news because so many people are interested in her. This leads to more and more people tuning into online news sites, which creates revenue through the online ads.
Sometimes, I have to wonder how Britney Spears makes the top of everyone's online priorities. The article even had a picture of a sign posted by TMZ with the words "Britney we love you" sprawled across it. It's no wonder why TMZ loves Britney since she is generating more gossip and revenue for them. The only thing I find hard to swallow, is how everyone else can still be in love with her.
