Gallery of the Absurd's Britocchio

Britocchio is a tale about an animated wooden puppet who longs to be a real girl. The original story is a much more complex allegory, but we're going to keep it simple. Each time Britocchio tells a lie, her nose grows longer. A few weeks ago, Britney Spears collapsed and had to be carried out of a club on New Years Eve. Much debate arose over what caused this "collapse". The New York Post claims she guzzled too much booze and passed out, while Spears' reps claimed she was simply tired and needed to take a little nap. Whatever the cause of her blackout, speculation was stirred and many armchair observers concluded that Britocchio had lied. Poor little wooden puppet, at least she has her friend Rummy the Cricket to keep her company.
