I’ll admit it, I did not trip over my chair in a mad rush to see Britney Spear’s new video “Womanizer” when it debuted on 20/20 (?) on Friday. But guess what? Now my ass is sore from kicking it, because I can’t believe I went the whole weekend without watching a nude Britney sweating it out in a sauna! Check out “Womanizer” and let me know what you think: Do you LIKE it? Or do you LOVE IT?!?
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
The feminist side of my brain just exploded.
I saw it… I thought it was your typical Britney music video.
But the song, OH MY GOD, how awful. How many times does she repeat the word “womanizer”? Probably 300
body double.
I like it.
After all the photos and stories of horrible housekeeping, pet poop on the couch and shaved head crazy xrated video with gross soulpatch guy, Britney Spears just isn’t the same. It’s like gold plating plastic. I mean, cmon, a SQUARE EGG SUNNY SIDE UP?
I like the video, for the most part. But the intellectual disconnect between the words coming out of her mouth and her gyrations was beyond mind boggling.
What’s the name of the song?
I like it, even though it has one of the most clunky choruses, um, EVER.
Sometimes the best arguments against the shortcomings of a patriarchal society come from nude chicks in saunas.

perfectly put!
I’d like to applaud the post-production team for doing a superb job air-brushing away all her stretchmarks.
Nipple slip during the limo scene. (thanks to The Superficial for helping me spot that one)
It’s not terrible, actually. I just find it incredible she’s managed to keep her career going this long. I was one of those guys in high school that had a total boner for this girl, and for some reason I liked her music as catchy generic pop and dance tunes. This isn’t her sexiest video though, I’d say Toxic tops this one, and Slave 4 U tops all of them. Ironic.
