Meet America's new Russian diplomat ... Britney Spears Video

By the time Friday afternoon rolls around, everyone is in need of a little break and a reason to smile. An accordion rendition of a Britney Spears tune from the golden years of the late '90s just might do the trick.

In this ad urging Russians to learn English, four older women put their new language skills to good use with a rousing performance of "…Baby One More Time." Maybe this bodes well for Britney, because nothing says "another comeback!" like some love from overseas.
