Certainly true, but none of these people would make any money if a trillion others wouldn't gobble up what they unearth for them.

It's the way of the world.

The important thing to remember is this: who gives a shit about Britney Spears these days? I'll tell you who -- no one except weird Internet fad guys posting videos on YouTube and paparazzi hoping for their next upskirt shot.

It seems the general public will only be satisfied once Spears has committed suicide.

that's ridiculous they have to resort to using the same exact photo for absolutely everything.

Think of it as "last good known configuration"

We won't actually see the "official" album art until the album comes out. That's like the 4th "official cover" I've seen.

So it has been revealed that this will be the official album art for Britney's 5th studio album Blackout.

Here are my gripes about it:

The photo of her on the cover has been already been used to promote her (sadly unfortunate) performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards and was affixed to the cover of her single "Gimme More." I understand that there may not be many (or any) pictures of her as of late other than paparazzi pictures of her going in and out of Starbucks, but c'mon...that's ridiculous they have to resort to using the same exact photo for absolutely everything.
How extremely unprofessional the design of the actual cover is. The cheap background hurts my eyes, instead of hypnotizing them into thinking this is actually not crappy at all (it's intended purpose I bet). The font used for the title and her name seems really unfitting for a Britney Spears album. It conveys an amateur pop act, instead of a mature, already-established one (although recent events may suggest otherwise).

Her record company is really just setting her up for failure. I mean they moved up the release of the album almost 2 weeks (fans: YAY!) Then they present this monstrosity (fans: BOO!)

It's also really sad that some of the fake fan-created album covers are better than the official one.

What are your thoughts?
