Nov 27 2006Britney Spears auctions off her writing
On December 4, Christie's is going to auction off a page from Britney Spears' junior high school notebook featuring a "handwritten review of Rex Warner's translation of Sophocles' story Antigone, written in black ballpoint pen on either side of the page, Britney's review annotated by her teacher with corrections to her spelling and comments including ...Nice cover Organized Watch your spelling... and Write more neatly and her grade: 88; and a corresponding piece of yellow card decorated with the book's title Antigone in black felt pen."
I tried reading this but gave up after my brain started to melt. If you give it a try you'll understand. Or you won't, because your brain will have melted. I'm surprised there weren't more typos, but I was also expecting it to be written on unicorn stationary. Go figure.

On a side rant, this is why our high schools are turning out idiots by the bucketful: a passing grade is handed out to a mere blow-by-blow that reiterates the story.
Sure, it proves the kid did the reading assignment, but where is the critical thinking? Are the children asked to discuss the difference between following the law, and following your family obligations? Are they asked to consider whether some laws are inherently unjust and should be broken? Whether it is better to live in cowardice than to die nobly?
No. Just regurgitate the particulars, get your damn 88 and off you go to Advanced Lit. Bleh.

britney was giving the teacher anal, she should have argued for at least a 94
13. AuntTora - November 27, 2006 1:18 PM
Coming out of lurkdom to say: (1) I despair of people who cannot grasp the difference between "looses" and "loses", and (2) all teachers should immediately get a huge raise just for having to look at penmanship like this. All I could read was a sentence and a half before ripping out huge chunks of hair.
14. jrzmommy - November 27, 2006 1:19 PM
I got as far as the second word in the third line and thought I was having a stroke.

I could've been 8th, but I wanted to see long lllllllllll would keep going.
(That's right, my life is sad)
16. Italian Stallion - November 27, 2006 1:31 PM
She didn't write that in junior high. She wrote that last week while getting high and the corrections were made by the family dog. Get your shit right Fish...........
17. theblemish.com - November 27, 2006 1:32 PM
Jesus, I weep for the teacher that had to read that. She should just stick to wearing a skirt and no panties. It's all she's good at.

"Antigone is about a girl who loses her brother during a war."
Really? Funny, I thought it was about piety and dishonor, disobedience and respect, and parents and children. These are not hugely difficult themes to grasp. How the fuck does anybody read oen of the greatest Greek tragedies and sum it up as "a girl who loses her brother during a war"? Even as a middle schooler I could've come up with something less retarded than that.
I know Britney is all ready to start her life again, but this seems like a pretty lousy way to go.

This was written on the back:
"I wonder if a butterfly's wings ever get tired? How come Windex ain't good to drink? I Love the Price is Right. I can't get rid of these panty crickets. My uncle keeps touching my swimsuit area. Sunshine makes me smile. How much do Negros cost? I love chicken."
20. fearsarewishes - November 27, 2006 1:40 PM
Ms. Spears still thinks the title of this play is properly pronounced, Anti-Gone.
21. Missallanpoe - November 27, 2006 1:42 PM
Congratz llllllllll, you are now 7 times the idiot you were before. As for Britneys writting, I couldn't get past the part about the milkshake planning to take over the world with the CEO of coca cola...that was just plain weird.
22. Italian Stallion - November 27, 2006 1:43 PM
LOL@19 "panty crickets"..........
23. polypam - November 27, 2006 1:45 PM
Lindsay Lohan should have had Britney Spears write that letter about Robert Altman as it surely would have made a lot more sense. Who knew that Britney at 12 had more brain power than Lindsay at 20?
24. frenchtoaststix - November 27, 2006 1:51 PM
Uh, mah brain done melted out my ears from reading that.
It belongs in this book:

25. lohanjob - November 27, 2006 1:51 PM
Her teacher is a halfwit too. Does the teacher think that Antigone 'looses' her brother in the story? The level of stupidity in the world makes me want to scream.
26. MargeAggedon - November 27, 2006 1:56 PM
#1 through #7 = LOL
As for bratteny, this can't be her paper. It isn't covered in stickers or written in crayon. Was she buying her "lyrics" back then as well?
27. RichPort - November 27, 2006 2:00 PM
I bet the stupid bitch even got a ghost writer for this outstanding piece of shit.

29. Sidney - November 27, 2006 2:11 PM
What are the chances that the highly complex differences between "their," "there," and "they're" still trip her up?
Let's hope that her children don't end up home schooled.
30. sinbad - November 27, 2006 2:12 PM
Umm, Mister Superficial guy? Speaking of "watch your spelling...it's actually spelled "stationery." I give you an 88 on this post.
31. MadSeason - November 27, 2006 2:21 PM
Why the hell is this interesting? It's ridiculous. What, are her kindergarten finger paintings going to be sold too? Or how about her first grade hand-made Christmas ornament? You know, the one with her school picture glued onto popsicle sticks? Yeah, I can't hide my excitement.
32. 86 - November 27, 2006 2:23 PM
When Courtney Love sold Kurt Cobain's notebook it was interesting because his writings pertained to his career and his passion. What does this crap reflect? She's not a literary scholar so why would she think that people would pay money for this? This aint no sex tape, Brit. Stick to whatcha knoooow.
33. gossipgirl010 - November 27, 2006 2:27 PM
Even the teacher is stupid. Who could miss "A advisor came along..."? What are you, 4 years old? Damn.

35. diedl - November 27, 2006 2:52 PM
Wow. Now there's no doubt she was raised in the South. Hell, even the TEACHER didn't catch half of the mistakes. I want to think she was simply choosing her battles, but I doubt it. What a moron.
36. melzarooo - November 27, 2006 2:55 PM
I translated it. I could read it perfectly somehow.
Antigone is about a girl who loses her brother during a war. She wants to bury them, but the new lems, Creon, will not allow it, and who shall even do so shall be killed. Antigione wants her brother buried, because she wants him to be able to be in the heaven of ghost. So she goes out and buries him. There was a rumor about her burying her brother, so the gleundo keeps a good look out, finally, they catch her. They take her to the king. She king?s son is suppost to marry her he xon legs his father to have Marriage, but nothing stops him. He puts her in a dramlen. A adviser comes along and warns him that the Gods angry with him he gets doomed to he lits hers go where they set to the chamber they find her dead, everyone of suicide. Her soon to be husband kills himself because he cant stand the thought...
37. melzarooo - November 27, 2006 2:56 PM

More important than the post and picture of this essay to be auctioned, is the complete fucking loser who buys it. I'd really like an update, just so I know the face of someone who would spend money on this wash-outs homework.
41. sexybitch - November 27, 2006 3:07 PM
Unbelievable. A Geek tragedy.
42. Cat - November 27, 2006 3:08 PM
Did anyone else notice that in the second to the last line, she wrote "Her soon to be husband kills hisself?" The teacher wrote an "m" over the first "s," but that's what she wrote. "Hisself."
Oh, and 19, you made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to pass out.
43. Coolguy8621 - November 27, 2006 3:43 PM
she was in junior high, giver he a break, im sure all of you were writing the great american novel in 8th grade right?
44. Only1WWFF - November 27, 2006 3:46 PM
First, WTF's a panty cricket? And 40, I'm with you. What do you do after you write your 5 million dollar check for this, frame it?

I hate to find myself defending that pig, but she was in Junior High at the time. Did you expect a literary genius? In fact, her writing is not that bad compared to what middle schoolers and Jun. High'ers crank out now.
49. katlady12 - November 27, 2006 5:00 PM
Lord have mercy. Is this what our celeb-crazed society has come too? Who gives a rats ass what she wrote 10 or so years ago. We should be ashamed of ourselves....NOT. Happy bidding, ya'll!
50. eXtasyStef - November 27, 2006 5:00 PM
Yes, but they're not selling it in auction.
That's probably where all her panties went, too.
51. 5:07 p.m. - November 27, 2006 5:12 PM
I have a folder that Kirsten Dunst wrote on in Jr. High. Can I auction that garbage off too?
52. PontiacFlanagan - November 27, 2006 5:44 PM
52nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I ever wrote this badly, even in junior high, I would travel back in time and kick my own ass.
"First Antigone did this. Then Antigone did that. Then Antigone's brother died. Then the evil king told Antigone that she couldn't bury her brother. Then Antigone went against the evil king's wishes..."
Jesus. It's like Crib's Notes by retards, for retards.

This is obviously a fake - The highest grade Britney ever completed was stage-mom Junior High, which amounts to doing the splits and singing ballads from "Annie". I don't think you have to write a paper on Antigone to pass that grade, although sucking yards of cock seems to boost your credentials during finals week.
56. Cat - November 27, 2006 7:20 PM
43, please. I never wrote "hisself" instead of "himself" at any age, let alone by the time I was in junior high. Did you? Perhaps you did (and maybe still do), given the fact that you've graced us with this gem: "giver he a break," and the rules of capitalization and punctuation seem to escape you. That being the case, you may now return to strumming your banjo and sucking your applesauce through a straw.

The sad part is, Jr. High? I read that in first year Uni. Whatever. My essay was, like, a million times better. Take that Brit!

19 is clear evidence of why my "I love Papa" essay makes so much sense. I got an A+++++++, just like the imaginary essay in A Christmas Story.
I miss you and the peanut butter and the Azaleas. Oh, and the bodywax... but we don't talk about those things in public.

So when are they going to start auctioning off used toilet paper of celebs, or better yet q-tips? The person who buys it needs to have their picture taken for the dictionary under the definition of dweeb.

"Loose" means not tight, as in your vag.
"Lose" means not win, as in your marriage.

she may not be a good speller - but she sure knows how to show off that vagina of hers...the newest upskirt from last night - hold onto your lunch...

I'm so tired of shitney! She will be so overexposed that we will become so fed up of her, the only fame she'll have is if Plastic Paris asks her to go to a club and she is in a picture by accident
70. cardio - November 28, 2006 9:22 AM
Everyone is jumping on the misspellings (hisself, loose) as they should be. But has nobody noticed she misspelled the name of the friggin' book??? It's "Antigone", not "Antigione". How do you get an 88 when you can't spell a one-word title correctly??
71. caljenna - November 28, 2006 12:52 PM
Why did this girl 'loose' her brother in a war, shouldn't she have kept him restrained and therefore safe? Why were there gourds on the lookout? And why did 'them' become 'him'? And what is a roomer? Fish is right, my brain is melting....
@ 19 - 'panty crickets'....BRILLIANT!
72. Saera - November 28, 2006 2:24 PM
Ugh.
This is terrible.
My brain started to melt as well.
Since she wrote like shit, she coulda atleast written in chatspeak?
