Clear Channel upset Britney, people with mental health problems

Lumbering media giant Clear Channel has royally pissed off Britney Spears - and offended anyone whose ever had a mental health problem - with a promotion for its Florida radio station WFLZ-FM. Because nothing is as funny as mental illness:

The WFLZ billboards included the slogans "Total nut jobs", "Shock Therapy" and "Certifiable", which ran across pictures of a bald Spears.

Law firm Lavely and Singer demanded the "immediate removal" of the banners in a letter to the station.

WFLZ's Todd Schnitt said the adverts were down but he was "not happy".

Let's hope that Scnitt's unhappiness doesn't deepen into a depression, otherwise he might find photos of him with the word "nut job" splashed across, up around the town.

Spears is annoyed not just with the implications of the ads, but also the uncleared use of her face.
