Isn't the person in your icon that Rihanna look-alike who gave us that AMAZING guess who post last year? lol

It's obviously unflattering but I think it also kind of reveals a slight idea of what Britney will look like as an old woman and I think she'll look awesome.

And I say this as someone who isn't a Britney fan (or a hater for that matter).
antikfed 7th-May-2012 06:54 am (UTC)
a realistic depiction of what she actually looks like? dear lord!

bless this angel and her emotionless smiles
dancedallnight 7th-May-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
he's more than welcome to ask for whatever he wants in his condition, but this is such a bizarre wish. but kudos to the people who are helping to make this happen for him!
whiskybars 7th-May-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
yeah it's cute that they are doing this but that's a lame wish lbr
mario_06 7th-May-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
Well he is nine. I can see why he would think it's really cool. Twitter is orobably a way bigger deal to babies than it is to grown ups.
underworld 7th-May-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
i mean i hear he's in hospice, what else is gonna wish for?
lilibeth 7th-May-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
:\ yeah... and he is a little boy after all. it might seem like a big deal to him.
warsawed 7th-May-2012 03:19 am (UTC)
my wish would be to become an internet meme tbh
sergeant_duckie 7th-May-2012 03:30 am (UTC)
Yeah; I think it's kind of sad that that's his wish.
editnoir 7th-May-2012 03:36 am (UTC)
I was going to post something like this...

I don't know, I'd wish to have a tea party with famous people or something.
hedgerowbustle 7th-May-2012 04:28 am (UTC)
I thought that to.

I love your icon, btw.
coldestwinterx 7th-May-2012 07:11 am (UTC)
yeah, i clicked to see what his wish was and i was expecting something like 'raise X amount of $$ for cancer' or 'take britney to prom' or some shit like that and all i'm seeing is 'my name on some shit no one cares about that will help no one' and i'm just like.......'oh.'

OOPS nevermind, i didnt see the part where he's 9. it's still sad though. i would have asked for a pony dyed pink with rainbow hair and hearts and balloons tattoed to it's butt.

sprywonderdog 7th-May-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
Is this helping him fund his treatment or something? I mean, it's nice to get his name trending on Twitter, I guess ... but it would be nicer if they did something that helped him get better.
underworld 7th-May-2012 03:19 am (UTC)
i think he's in hospice, aka, he's terminal.
mario_06 7th-May-2012 03:20 am (UTC)
Not trying to be a Debbie downer but if he is battling brain cancer then their probably isn't much anyone can do.

Or who knows maybe they are helping him finacially but not announcing it. A lot of celebs do that.
mario_06 7th-May-2012 03:21 am (UTC)
*there
sprywonderdog 7th-May-2012 03:24 am (UTC)
Yeah, I hate sounding so cynical about things like this. Anything that can make those kids happy is good by me, but I just wish they'd attach something so people could donate to a cancer fund that would help children in a similar situation.

And whenever one of these ends up trending, I see a ton more starting to pop up and you never know if they are legit.
laurie_springs 7th-May-2012 03:23 am (UTC)
If she did I'm certain it wouldn't be announced.
superboy 7th-May-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
I'd ask to be tagged teamed by Zac Efron and River Viiperi.

People with cancer break my heart. When I see them in real i just want to cry.... No lie

what nine year old has trending on twitter as their ultimate wish?

a 9 year old dying of brain cancer? idk

_xxtom 7th-May-2012 03:39 am (UTC)
The kid said he's dying of cancer, he was in Make-a-wish Foundation. He claims he had two weeks to live and it was his dying wish... to meet Michael Jackson. Come on, man, give me a fucking break. This kid is ten years old, he don't remember Thriller. What the fuck he want to meet Michael Jackson for? Honestly. I remember Thriller and I just like kind of want to meet this n*gga.

fuckmyass 7th-May-2012 04:47 am (UTC)
IKR. anyone remember that one 15 year old kid who had cancer, and all these people donated to him and sent gifts including lance armstrong. he was about to meet this one lady who supported him and was his good friend, when they found out after YEARS that this "kid" was like a 24 year old female who then killed herself days later. creep.

cukoo4cocopuffs 7th-May-2012 03:58 pm (UTC)
My first thought and I hate that. Almost checked it out on snopes. Too many stories of people pretending they have cancer. Or the mother who enjoyed the attention from having a sick daughter who was actually cancer-free. Ugh - makes me a cynical curmudgeon.
dakotamoss 7th-May-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
lol like brit knows anything about this kid or this tweet lbr
dakotamoss 7th-May-2012 03:36 am (UTC)
glad he got his wish tho
boltonlove 7th-May-2012 03:40 am (UTC)
i think the most important thing is that the little boy thinks Britney knows about him or the tweet
editnoir Time to be morbid!7th-May-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
What would you wish for?

I'd want to sort of do something that's troll-esque to get my rocks off.

A tea party with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Wade Robson, Cameron Diaz, Kevin Federline and Jessica Biel.

A sunset boatride with Ray J and Kris Humphries.

Spa day with Jon Stewart and Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
underworld Re: Time to be morbid!7th-May-2012 03:44 am (UTC)
I'd wish to have lunch with all my favs: Britney, Lana, Nicki, Miley, [the list goes on, I'll stop]



and for Alanis Morissette to sing @ my funeral



I'm a greedy bitch
livefreexo Re: Time to be morbid!7th-May-2012 04:03 am (UTC)
i'd wish to meet Paul McCartney.. and travel the world.
actxappalledx Re: Time to be morbid!7th-May-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
tbh, I think it would depend on who I was super-stanning at the time, lol. my cousin passed away and had a make a wish wish, and she was super into Party of Five at the time, so she asked to speak to Matthew Fox, and he called her on the phone and talked to her. I mean, if you asked me now, I'd probably want to meet Daniel Radcliffe or Miley Cyrus or something like that. My high school self would have asked to meet Joaquin Phoenix or Eminem, lol. I think, though, that when it came down to it, I wouldn't want to meet anyone famous, but would ask for a trip to Italy or Australia or Paris or something like that, so that I could see the world before I became too sick to do it
underworld Re: Time to be morbid!7th-May-2012 04:23 am (UTC)
your cousin has exquisite taste <333333333333

spa day with Jon Stewart sounds like a party.
venus_boy_love 7th-May-2012 03:45 am (UTC)
Can I use this as an opportunity to shamelessly plug a fundraiser to help make a wish kids? http://www.powerof10.us/, is a program where ten thousand people ask ten friends to donate ten dollars to Give Kids the World.
kiki3291 7th-May-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
Oh, this is wonderful. Definitely taking part in it. Will probably cheat by using my family instead though lol.

GKTW is such an amazing organization, one of those rare ones where you know the money is definitely going to the cause.
venus_boy_love 7th-May-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
It isn't cheating! I can only really get my family to donate lol, all my friends are DEADBEATS!! And yes I agree, they are super reputable, I never worry about any shady dealings with where my money is going.
