While on the topic of Britney Spears
Just to make clear, I don’t like Britney Spears. But I thought I should do another post about her to warn you of her tricky music backmasking.
Listen to this clip from Britney’s song “Hit me baby one more time”
Now listen to the same clip in reverse.
If you didn’t catch that: the second clip said, “sleep with me I’m not too young.” I wasn’t the first to discover this. I found it on the website badmouth.net (not the type of site I would recommend visiting), but I have tested it independently to ensure that the clip is valid.
Note: If anybody from badmouth.net sees this, I’m sorry for deep linking your files, but I didn’t think that my visitors would like to visit your site and you were the only place I could find that had the clips hosted.
I downloaded, err borrowed a copy of the song after learning of that, just to put into a wave and play it in reverse, to find that it actually is true.

I guess, I forgive the deep linking. I’m not offended by it, I suppose. I’ll let you know if it becomes a problem. What does offend me is the idea that Badmouth is somehow offensive!
There isn’t a single four-letter expletive in any of my articles that I can remember. There is also no nudity (although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have interviewed a porn star. I even shook her hand. Then I washed.)
I make some lewd suggestions about Ms. Spears, but certainly nothing worse than she suggests when you watch her music videos.
Was the general tone just too suggestive? I’m genuinely curious what your objection was.

I’m sorry but the majority of my blog readers are a Christian audience. While I personally don’t have a problem with your site, I’m afraid that many of my readers would. Some would probably be offended by even interviewing a porn star. Nothing against you, I’m just very careful not to offend my readers (as I don’t have that many).

I’m a Christian, too. I guess I just figured if Christ was okay hanging out with the prostituted and the lepers, he probably doesn’t mind if I interviewed a porn star.
Keep up the good work on the blog.

Yeah, Jesus would only have a problem if after the interview, you and the porn star went into a private room and,… well you know…

What if I felt really, really sorry afterward?
