We thought that all this time we were just exceptionally stupid. We tried and tried, but we just couldn't figure out Facebook. People sending us Robert Pattinson flair? Huh? And now we're supposed to throw a snowball at somebody? We just don't get it. But it turns out there's a very good reason why we can't master the art of social networking: that shit's so complicated, it requires a degree from Harvard. Or at least so says Britney Spears. MSNBC reports:
Spoiler alert: If you check in on Britney Spearsí Twitter feed, Facebook, MySpace page, and other electronic iterations, you might not really be communicating with Britney Spears. You might, however, be communicating with someone who is at the very least, very adept with a standardized test and number-two pencil.Spearsí online manager posted a job listing for ìBritney Spears 2.0 Media Managerî on a Harvard-only private job board, reports techcrunch.
Among the job requirements: ìyou are addicted to social networks such as MySpace and Facebook. Ö You are a popular culture addict and passionate about the intersection of Silicon Valley and Hollywood.î
Sounds to us like Britney's people want a Harvard type to manage and monitor her social-media presence. Takes that high-priced degree to update one's Facebook status.
You've got the wrong idea, Brit. If you really want to conquer technology, just hire a 12-year-old. You'll save a ton of money.
