This video is brought to you by our sponsors at Nokia and the kind folks over at the Tyra Banks' House of Weaves.

I'm really not digging that faux sexy arch pop in her spine that she keeps doing. It didn't work in the Toxic video and it didn't work the 20 times she does it in this video. And to borrow a quote from Antoine Merriweather, "Hated it".

Let’s discuss: the nudity. Apparently there was a nude thong on in the shoot which was digitally removed by request of…her father. True story.

I can only hope that this video heralds some newfound quasi-feminist impulse in Ms Spears.

I will never love her “voice” or type of music, really, but I appreciate it. And the video is hot…pretty boiled down to the simple basics of what it’s about and that is fairly awesome. Kudos!

@KristaJulieva: re: the disconnect between lyrics/video - my take on that is that britney is, in all her various disguises, the same woman he left that morning. and each time she "catches" him pursuing another woman, so he gets beat down.

or it's just britney appealing to americans' puritanical guilt when it comes to sex - "you want me? you want me? WELL YOU'RE SICK AND DIRTY AND WRONG! GOTCHA!" - always a safe bet.

personally, i like the video (there's not a whole lot to dislike, is there?), but the song seems a little too cut from the same cloth as "i kissed a girl." i know it's a hugely popular song and it's going to have imitators, but britney spears riding the coattails of katy perry is some sort of cultural wormhole threatening to crush us all under jet engines, donnie darko style.

on the bright side, the lack of porn starlet moans running throughout is kind of a welcome change for her, isn't it?

There was a brief moment there (around 2003, the "Toxic" era) when she was over 21, apparently sane and had not yet gotten mixed up with Kevin Federline. Before that I couldn't desire her without guilt, and after that I just didn't desire her.

I just hope she keeps it together, especially since her fortunes seem to uncannily mirror those of the nation as a whole. If Obama wins, I think she's home free.

@AL: Before, she was underage, damaged, or insane. So it's always felt kinda gross.

@Chris N.: doesn't it feel kind of gross now though?
