I'm NOT clicking on that...

So my for a good part of a week, James, Hot-Asian-Guy-Friend-Who-Hits-On-Me-Via-Drunk-IM™ kept sending me (via IMs at work) links of Britney Spears photos, starting with the Esquire pictures.

I'd already seen them & told him I thought they were nice but not really that hot. I guess this just made James want to prove to me how hot she is. So he kept sending more links of her pictures.

Then the links started to end in things like /britneyboobies.jpg, /britneynaked.jpg, and /britneyhothothot.jpg.

He'd send a link and I'd reply "I'm at work, I'm NOT clicking that!" The more adamant that I was about not clicking his links, the more it made him want to send me more and more links.

So even he had to admit it was perfect when I sent him this link and asked "Is that you, James?!"

Judge Calls Man 'Fixated,' Orders Him Away From Britney Spears

Man Must Stay At Least 300 Feet From Pop Star

LOS ANGELES -- A judge issued a permanent injunction Tuesday ordering a Japanese businessman to stay away from pop idol Britney Spears, ruling he was "was abnormally obsessed and fixated with Spears."

"This cries out for injunctive relief," Superior Court Judge Alan Haber said.

"It was an obvious pattern of harassment and emotional harm done to a person of notoriety and her attorney met the burden of establishing emotional distress," Haber said.

Spears, 21, first sought a restraining order against Masahiko Shizawa in December 2002, alleging that he "tracked and attempted to contact" her at her home in Los Angeles, as well as at her second home and one of her parent's homes, which are both outside California. He also allegedly sent photos of himself and notes reading, "I'm chasing you."

Shizawa, whose visa expired, has been back in his native Yokohama, Japan, since last December.

The judge said the evidence showed that Shizawa was mentally "off."

Shizawa's lawyer, Simon Robert Hiller, said his client was a law-abiding citizen. "He was in love," he said.

The permanent injunction calls for Shizawa to stay 300 yards away from Spears for three years.

The pop star recently made headlines with provocative poses in a current issue of Esquire magazine.

Appearing on the cover of the magazine, Spears is wearing a short white sweater and little else.

The photos are part of the magazine's 70 Years of Women We Love November issue, which also showcases Cameron Diaz, Pamela Anderson, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sharon Stone and Madonna.

In an interview that accompanies the photographs, Spears explains why Esquire wanted her to appear on the magazine's cover.

"Well, some people might say it's just to make money and sell magazines," said Spears. "But another reason -- a better reason, and the one I choose -- is that they do it to inspire people."

Inside the magazine are other photos shot by James White, featuring even more revealing pictures of Spears, who is outfitted in solely in a pair of panties and some carefully placed necklaces.

Elsewhere in the article, Spears claims to have resisted her record label's attempts to sexually exploit her.

"Actually, the record label wanted me to do certain songs, and I was like, 'Look, if you want me to be some kind of sex thing, that's not me,' " said Spears. "I will never do that. I'm still doing what I love to do."
