ENTRY No. 019 / VIDEOS / 2007

Leave Britney Alone

A tearful defence of a pop star, filmed under a bedsheet.

The origin

Cara Cunningham posted a video pleading, in tears, for the press to stop attacking Britney Spears after a criticised awards performance.

How it spread

It was mocked relentlessly across television and the web in 2007, and the mockery itself became the meme.

What it means

Re-read years later as an early and accurate objection to how the media treated Spears. The joke aged badly on purpose.
