It may be the case that a pic of Third World women holding guns is a left-wing clich?, but it’s the awesomest clich? imaginable.

Who the hell is that on the t-shirt, anyway? Am I showing my age, or maybe a neurological pattern-matching deficit, by not recognizing the face?

According to the photographer it’s Britney Spears (though you couldn’t have ever pulled that out of me). That really gives this an extra something special, if you ask me.

As the resident pop culture expert of this relationship, I can confirm that face is indeed Britney Spears.
Also, third world women holding guns may be a cliche, but it’s a fucking hot and complicated cliche.

I just wish they weren’t holding such old clunky carbines. The Heckler and Koch G36, for example, is just as photogenic (in a futurism-inflected pomo kinda way), plus which it’s lighter, has higher firepower, greater accuracy and would be a lot more use in a firefight.

It’s Britney Spears. You would know this if you properly practiced the mass line…*judge*
