Britney Spears is Young

The original story that was connected with this picture was called "Stars that are way younger than you think". Ummmm... Britney Spears will be 35 in a few months. She's young compared to someone like say, Susan Sarandon who will turn 70 next month, or maybe Robert De Niro who just turned 73. But c'mon let's not get carried away. Young? Don't get me wrong she's hardly "old" the way 35 year olds were a generation or two ago but let's get real. You see where I'm going with this? The average lifespan for a woman in the US is 80.1 years. A little longer than I expected, but average means some live longer and some live shorter lifespans meaning middle age basically just landed right on Britney Spears face. Stories like this that are calling basically middle aged people "young" as if they're hanging out at a mall buying Swatch watches or whatever teenagers do nowadays are why there are  47 year old guys running around dressed like Storm Troopers and Boba Fett while riding skateboards.
