Pop star diva and tabloid darling Britney Spears made a surprising appearance at a minor league ball game in New Jersey last weekend–sort of. The Newark Bears<\/a> hosted a “Britney Spears Safety Night,” using Britney’s numerous “oops” parenting moments–including an incident where she was driving a car with her baby in her lap–to promote car-seat safety. Any spectator could attend the event for free if they brought a baby or child aged four or under, carried a baby toy, or dressed like a baby themselves. Fans attending the ball game<\/a> also had the chance to win a free car seat, courtesy of AAA.<\/p>\n

The Bears’ creative marketing of a public-service announcement leads me to wonder what other events sports teams could dream up that would combine celebrities’ mistakes with public education. How about a Paris Hilton Abstinence Night, <\/a>in which all fans would receive a chastity belt? Or a Lindsay Lohan Alcohol Free\/Boss Appreciation Night<\/a>? <\/p>\n

And here I thought we couldn’t learn anything from celebrities.<\/p>\n
