Britney Spears Bent Heel or "Bent Spear"?

At the time of the disappearance of six nukes, otherwise known as "Bent Spear," America was conveniently distracted by Britney Spears' bent heel and subsequent meltdown on national television. Now seems a good time to revisit "Bent Spear," provided the fluff-headed American public can ever be counted on to give a rat's ass about something that actually matters.

David Lindorf has taken a disturbing look at the nuke incident and leads the reader to consider some most unsettling conclusions. It may feel better now to gloat over Britney's meltdown, but if we are unable to tear ourselves away from that distraction, the meltdown to come won't feel good at all.
