Britney Spears isn't crazy about a handful of billboards promoting "The MJ Morning Show" in Florida -- and she's threatening legal action because of them, according to documents obtained by TheSmokingGun.com. In a letter sent last week to Clear Channel Communications lawyer Donna Schneider, the pop star's counsel Lynda Goldman claims the billboards -- which feature a snarling, bald Spears next to radio host Todd Schnitt, and the headlines "Total Nut Jobs," "Shock Therapy" and "Certifiable" -- are "outrageous to the extreme." In the letter, Goldman demands the billboards be removed and says Spears is entitled to "very substantial damages" from Clear Channel because her "likeness has a multimillion-dollar value for authorized commercial exploitations."

BRITNEY SPEARS "NUT JOBS" BILLBOARDS REMOVED

 

Radio-station billboards featuring photos of a bald, grimacing Britney Spears have been removed from Florida highways after the singer's attorneys threatened legal action, The Associated Press reported. Spears' lawyers sent a letter to Clear Channel Communications on Thursday, accusing WFLZ-FM of "offensive, unauthorized commercial exploitation" of the singer's image and demanded that the three Tampa-area billboards be removed. "We have confirmed that the billboards are down," Clear Channel spokeswoman Michele Clarke said Tuesday (June 19). The ads pictured Spears and "The MJ Morning Show" host Todd Schnitt alongside slogans including "Total Nut Jobs," "Shock Therapy," and "Certifiable." Schnitt told The St. Petersburg Times that he does not support the station's decision to remove the ads.

Oooh, thanks for that! :D

 

It's sad how ignorant people can be sometimes. <_< Stealing an image of Britney at a down moment and using it to try to be funny and promote a morning radio show...

I really don't see how that would make someone want to watch a radio show...even if I despised Britney I would be like, WTF :mellow: .

Yeah, I get what you mean. It kinda seems weird and twisted. :mellow: At the same time I can see it being kinda funny to a non-Britney fan seeing a bald-headed and weird image of Britney blown up on a huge billboard...

It would scare me more then anything :rofl:

That picture is kinda intimidating too. I wouldn't doubt if it was the cause of a few fender benders! :lol:

:rofl:

 

Could you imagine. Oh I'm driving along the highway, nothing can phase me... OH MY f***ING GOD WHAT IS THAT *CRASH* ...DAMN YOU MJ RADIO SHOW! :angry:

:rofl:

 

Yeah, sorry I didn't see you! I was too busy looking at that -- wait is that Britney?! :o :lol:

I wish I could go all the way down there to take a picture :(
