WTF was this?

Britney doing some bizarre performance at the MTV Awards.
This is what all the kids are talking about.

This morning my pal Venay Menon tries to make sense of the whole weird Britney Out-of Control thing.
After the doomed marriage to über-mooch Kevin Federline, after the wee-hour boozing miles away from her wee ones, after the impulse baldness, after the abysmal "reality show," after the incoherent interviews, after the divorce, the vomiting, the rehab, the fender-bendering, the dust-ups, the breakdowns, the feuds and the apocalypse-is-nigh tabloid folly from recent years, surely the pop princess was poised to sprinkle some pixie dust atop her own crooked halo and ascend the comeback heavens.

Vinay pretty much sums up the whole mess here.

I don't know, can you make fun of someone so obviously out of control?
I suppose but this is a girl who would be working at Blimpys if she couldn't sing a bit. It's almost unfair to pile on her (you know what I mean) and a bit sad as well.
