The prediction about Britney's career?

"Britney Spears' career, as a pop artist, is over."

Wow. That's some Insightful commentary. I mean, backing up a statement like that with support and facts and information is cool and all, but just one hopeful sentence like that is even COOLER.

I'm going start predicting stuff like that. Hey, I predict that computer games will be different in the future.
