Say what you will about bizarre-coiffed Irish confectionery pop trinket “Jedward,” but the kids sure have their priorities straight! While the Eurovision stars were thrilled about meeting and performing for the leader of the free world on President Obama’s trip to the British Isles this week, they made it very clear– on paper and spoken word– that they’re only using him as a stepping stone towards meeting the actual most important citizen of the United States: Britney Spears.

The “Military Performing Pop Sensations” meme is apparently still going strong, and it appears that our troops become better and better performers with every new viral hit. After releasing breathtaking renditions of Lady Gaga‘s “Telephone” and Ke$ha‘s “Blah Blah Blah,” the latest single to come out of Afghanistan is Britney Spears‘s “Hold It Against Me”: an impressively elaborate affair.

This week, the New York Times Magazine was dedicated to their newly traditional Year In Ideas thinkpiece.
