It’s up for grabs – “The Britney Spears Survival Guide,” which is one-part self help & one-part humor (all metaphor) and instructs the reader how to succeed in a successful position in the guise of a self-help book for a struggling Pop Diva – It’s yours…make me proud!
- it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
- Compensation: no pay
This begs several questions:
- Do we feel Britney needs a guide to survive, and if so, are we going to provide someone to help her with the big words?
- Do we really think there are people who want to survive like Britney Spears?
- Do we really care if Britney survives?
Thanks, but I think I found my calling critiquing lame Craigslist ads for the two people who stop by here every day. I’m sure you’ll receive hundreds of email from people who want to learn more. The world is obsessed with a disgraced, bi-polar former pop princess. Unfortunately your idea should do well.
No pay? What does Britney have to teach writers? I read that she contributes $140 million to the economy. She doesn’t work free, despite her antics.
This person seems to think that their idea is quite the generous gift to writer kind…
I hope that their posting that was just one of those impulsive “it sounded good in my head at the time!!” things that they will realize the very next morning was dumb. I hope.
He might have something if it was a guide on how to survive Britney Spears… There’s no getting away from her, no matter how hard we try.
Afterthought: Nosferatu’s got nothing on her in that photo… I’m just saying.
