Hunger strike-like.
Well this is another one of those stories that is likely to be complete and utter bullshit but I feel compelled to comment on it anyway, because it is ridiculous and because of the very, very, very slight chance that it might be true. Apparently America’s favorite hoosier, Britney Spears, is on a hunger strike … sort of.
Now my understanding of a hunger strike means that you ….don’t eat at all until you get whatever it is you want. In this case, Britney wants her father to butt out of her crazy-ass business and wants him to be removed as conservator of her estate. So what is she doing? She has stopped eating! Except for lunch!
So, this is some crazy-ass Britney Spears antics right here because calling it a hunger strike when you are still picking up some McDonalds or Taco Bell for lunch isn’t really a hunger strike. It’s sort if like vegetarians who still eat chicken or sober people who only drink “lite beer.” I used to know this guy who would fast for one Catholic holiday or another and he would sort of make a big deal about fasting and then I would see him eating lunch. And when I asked about his fast, he would say, “Oh it was just a light lunch,” which indeed may have been the case …. but that doesn’t mean you are fasting. And frankly, I don’t care if you fast or not, or if Britney is on a hunger-strike or not. Not my business. But don’t tell me you aren’t eating …. and then eat.
Poor Britney. She’s trying to take control of her life (and heading toward an eating disorder). And people (including Mr. Spears) are just gonna go, “What? Hunger strike? I just saw her eating Chik-Fil-A.”
