On Tuesday, March 29, a day that will live on in Interweb infamy, the Laws of Improbability were blindsided, upended, and redefined when Britney Spears teamed up with the jackass cast—a union far more unimaginable than that of Rob Dyrdek and Justin Bieber. Granted, there was an intermediary production involved—ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live)—quite unlike that time Brad Pitt rolled with us for an evening of monkeying around on the streets of LA, but hey, you take your pop-culture icons where you can get 'em (and believe me, even then it's not easy in the least).
Yesterday afternoon, Ms. Spears issued this mysterious statement via Twitter: "Just did my first @jackassworld stunt with Knoxville and company. Knoxville better watch his back... -Britney." From that point on the @jackassworld time line had nothing but Britney mentions dancing all over it (not to mention nearly 3000 new followers) up until the "stunt" was finally unveiled that night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Johnny Knoxville introduced the clip as a jackass 3D "deleted scene" during his appearance to promote jackass 3.5.
Britney's "Poo Cocktail Supreme" has since been embedded on every Tom, Dick and Huffington blog, but I might as well add it here for pop posterity as well. Heck, never know when a "Johnny-come-lately" that's been living under a McMansion-sized rock in the suburbs of America (or in the jungles of Costa Rica) might stumble upon it having no clue that the world has already consumed, digested and pooped it out in favor of the next pop-culture feeding frenzy. For instance, anyone remember that ridiculous "winning" mania that swept the nation for a godforsaken weekend? Yeah, well, Jesus wept. That's all I have to say about that.
My personal opinion is: I would give anything for being Britney
