Britney Spears Celebrity Facebook Gifts

It’s Britney, b*tch, on your Facebook to wish you a happy birthday for the bargain price of $2. That’s right, the social networking site favored by collegians and your parents alike is launching a new advertising strategy of celebrity-endorsed limited edition gifts. For the uninitiated, gifts are joke images of items you can post on your friends’ walls. Often Facebook will feature a free gift promoting a specific brand or
movie.

But let’s face it, there’s enough free stuff on the Internet. Facebook needs to get paid. And Britney is a sound brand, despite her predilection for train wrecks; Circus recemented her status as a dominant pop star with a historical context. She can no longer be dismissed as a here today, gone tomorrow pop sensation.

To continue expanding their cool-kid cachet, Spears fans can now purchase limited edition badges bearing her likeness or related icons to post on their profiles. Our favorite: a rainbow-striped balloon with a B for Britney Pride. She’s never shied away from supporting her gays.

The iconic Facebook gifts carry some serious graphic arts weight as well. Susan Kare, the designer behind the new Britney gifts, designed the famous original Macintosh computer icons, like the smiling Mac, in
the ’80s.

There’s one free taste of a Britney gift, and the rest will be sold until supplies run out. There are usually 500,000 gifts
available per edition. Click here to start collecting them all.
