Before Britney Spears could guest star on next week's highly touted episode of some show we've never heard of, her animated likeness appeared on South Park Wednesday night. Matt and Trey portray the unstable singer with (relative) sympathy, but cast a harsher eye on the media spectacle surrounding her. In the episode, Brit attempts shotgun suicide Big Papa-style, only to go on living with two-thirds of her head missing, the paps still chasing her, and the media covering her camel toe. The South Park kiddies try to save Brit from it all by sneaking her off to the North Pole, but to no avail. If Stan and Kyle can't save Britney, who can?
