On a side note, speaking of "abnormal" and cryonics, apparently Britney Spears wants to sign up with Alcor: http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/britney-spears-wants-to-be-frozen-after-death_100369339.html

I think this can be filed under "any publicity is good publicity".

Is there any way that we could get Britney Spears interested in existential risk mitigation?

It's not obvious that this would be good: it could very well make existential risks research appear less credible to the relevant people (current or future scientists).
