In Reply to: Kevin, your first Arena article -- Britney... posted by Burt Reynolds on January 22, 2002 at 16:05:48:
: I agree with most of what you said in the article, but not the end where you call Brittney harmless. Britney is, whether she likes it or not, a role model to many, many young girls throughout the world. While she may not want to be this role model, the millions and millions of dollars she makes every time she takes the stage to sing or as we have seen, not sing, is a fair pay-off for taking on this role as role model. As a role model to millions throughout the world, Britney should not dress like a whore. All over the world, little girls are trying to replictae what she is wearing and thus she should not be skantily dressed like a whore, b/c the result of this is millions of little girls wanting to go out dressed in little bras and panties, because their favorite entertainer wears just that. I do not think Britney is harmless - I think, as a role model, she is being irresponsible and while I am a fan of yours, and thus not prude myself, I think her dressing that way is inappropriate and irresponsible.

If you judge people by their clothing, then you must think poor people have less character than wealthy people in suits, no?
Sounds to me like you are the one who is a bad role model for defining people's character through their habilaments.
Look it up in the dictionary, Hon.
