As far as icon status...for me an icon either stands the test of time, or is so popular that everyone knows who they are. Some people on that list I have no clue who they are. And as far as Britney goes...as much as I can't stand her, you can't deny she's made an impact the same way Madonna did.
Is that enough Piddy?

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
