Britney Spears "Break the Ice" Music Video - Now With Even Less Britney!

Noooo! Did Jive get the same intern who made Britney Spears' awful Blackout album cover to make this video? I don't get it - "Break the Ice" was wonderful ... wonderful, I tell you! Blackout was wonderful. How do they keep slopping together the promos? Maybe Britney just didn't show up again.

Ugh ... so it looks like Britney's trying to be Aeon Flux - with an even smaller budget. They couldn't even make the words fit her mouth?

Her own idea, akin to toxic, yer right! This video is a Ghost in the Shell rip off from start to finish, the song even sounds like the start music to the tv series, except its not as good. And if you dont beleive me heres a list of exactly how it rips off GitS.

Ghost in the Shell, starts with the heronie jumping off a huge building to smash through glass and take out her target.

Throughout all of Ghost in the shell are images of clones/cyborgs within floatation tanks, the image of britneys face getting so close to the glass,liquid surface is a direct rip off.

The interface on the tank womans head is the same shape as the vr file interfaces used in Ghost

And the building exploding like that, can you say fiirst climax in Stand Alone Complex.

The only way she came up with this idea is if she'd just watched Ghost in the Shell, more likely one of her PR people heard the track and made the link cause muscially the song could fit in to a Ghost episode.

I see what your saying by refrences Aeon FLux but she also looks remarkably similar to a robot called the Puppet Master in Ghost.

Oh by the way in cyberpunk ICE stands for Intrusion Countermeasure Electronic (kinda ultra hard firewalls) Ice Breaking is akin to hacking.

I totally agree with you, Tannis. This video was MAJORLY disappointing.

And while I've seen clips of Ghost in the Shell, I didn't feel like I knew enough about it to point out this video ripping it off. I think you're right, though.

And I even would have been OK with a rip-off if they had just done a good job. Grrrr!
