False Sense of Maturity

This year, the MTV Video Music Awards lost all credibility when Britney Spears improbably cleaned-up, winning three awards. Even if she has spent the last few years living a sinful lifestyle filled with drug use, divorce, child endangerment, and indecent exposure, it wasn’t going to stop Ms. Spears from thanking God for the awards:

A year after her disastrous comeback attempt at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears swept the event on Sunday, winning the first three “Moonman” statuettes of her career.

The pop singer, whose career has been overshadowed in recent years by a litany of personal woes, took home the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the tune “Piece of Me.”

“I’m in shock right now,” the 26-year-old starlet said, after taking the stage for the third time to receive the coveted award for video of the year.

In her brief acceptance speeches, she doled out multiple thanks to God, her family and her fans.
