Are Brad Pitt's parenting skills as bad as Britney Spears? When he took his infant daughter on a bike ride, she did not wear a helmet and she was carried in a baby-pack that has instructions that warn against using it while riding a bike.
The first sentence contains a faulty comparison. What is being compared? The comparison is between "parenting skills" and "Britney Spears." A person should not be compared to skills. Skills should be compared to skills.
Modify the sentence to create a comparison that is logical:
Are Brad Pitt's parenting skills as bad as Britney Spears' child-rearing abilities?
or
Are Brad Pitt's parenting skills as bad as those of Britney Spears?
