Irony and Stupidity

So I guess it's official that Britney's 16-year old sister is pregnant. Naturally, there's going to be outrage and shock from the American public. But none of this should really come as a surprise - there's a shocking number of teenage pregnancies every year, and if there's one thing I've learned from the Spears family (never though I would say those words) is that just because you're famous, doesn't mean you're excluded from general stupidity (the main cause of teenage pregnancy; the number two cause is raging teenage hormones, for those of you playing at home).

Anyway, here's an article from July 07 when the pregnancy was first reported by the National Enquirer. And here's a list of things that should cause alarm in you after reading the article:

1. Lynne Spears (the mother of this domestic meltdown) was pissed when she found out about the pregnancy, not because her 16-year old daughter is pregnant, but because Jamie Lynn told Britney first. Might want to re-think those priorities Lynne.

2. In another shocking display of her lack of judgement, Lynne and ex-husband Jamie consulted with none other than Kevin Federline for advice on what to do if Jame is pregnant. Is there no one else this woman knows who could offer better advice? A delusional schizo could probably provide better advice than the man who unleashed "Po-po-Zao" on the world.

3. Jamie sought contraception advice from Britney. Amazingly, Britney managed to give decent advice and told Jamie to go on the pill. Jamie refused, stating that the pill would make her fat..... Do I really need to state the obvious comment here?

4. A 16-year old is living with her 19-year old boyfriend. What the F is this? Why would any parent let her kid do this?

Like I said, it shouldn't be a surprise that a 16-year old is pregnant, let alone that the soon-to-be mother is related to Britney Spears. I would say hope that Jamie Lynn turns out the be a better parent than Britney, but it's obvious that Jamie doesn't learn from other people's mistakes too well.

Oh well, I'm going to grab a beer, sit back and watch the train wreck. Should be interesting.
