Congratulations producers of How I Met Your Mother - your ploy to exploit Britney Spears' notoriety while pretending to actually help her rejuvenate her career worked. Britney's guest appearance on last night's episode earned your show the highest rating it's ever gotten.
Of course, that still wasn't enough to get the show into first place. In fact, its 4.5 rating only placed it fourth on the evening.
Apparently people are only fascinated with Britney when she's showing cooch, shaving her head or swinging an umbrella around like a club. They're not quite as stoked about seeing her act.
