Biebs Arrested In Florida!!!

[MRC_Hans]

I remember years ago a music reviewer described Britney Spears as "The luckiest karaoke singer in the world", I think of this every time Justin Bieber is in the news, or any time I see him try to sing....

I think they cast these stars that way deliberately. Take someone moderately talented and reasonably good-looking, and make them the new innocent star. Then as the novelty fades, let them be more and more scandalous. Scandals sell nicely also.

And when they are sucked dry, drop them. Sad really.

I keep hoping he'll be deported.

Nooooooo! Lock him up in Fla. He would never come back to within hundreds of miles of where I live but I'll still be happier if he stays south of the 49th

A good chunk of Ontario is south of the 49th.

He'll be one angry Beiber

From the linked article:




How exactly can eggs cause $20K in damages?

Many homes in So Cal. use stucco as siding. Stucco is easily damaged by just about anything but the eggs baking on it in the hot sun makes it worse.

This couldn't have happened to a more deserving idiot. Little boys playing with adult toys, doomed to failure. I wonder if anyone in his life has the balls to tell him NO!

He's gonna do hard time. Hopefully.

Not so much.

First time offender, alcohol school, probation, big fine, license suspension.

WRT motor vehicle code violations just about anywhere in the U.S. unless you actually are convicted of vehicular homicide, you won't do hard time, and sometimes not even then:

Declaring that "road rage is out of control in our society," a San Mateo County Superior Court judge yesterday sentenced a man to nine months in jail for running over and killing a motorcyclist he had argued with minutes earlier.

Gerald Neal Bowen, 53, who had pleaded no contest in November to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, tearfully apologized yesterday to the family of Oakland motorcyclist Julius Long, 49, who died on Skyline Drive near Westridge Avenue in Daly City on Christmas Eve, 1999.

You shouldn't care....he's the lastest pretty boy singer for pre-teen girls. But should laugh really hard...because he has a squeaky clean image.

Wow, no. He's already fairly far out of that. If you're looking for the latest popular (there are always a few new ones that never make huge inroads) pretty boy singer for preteen girls, that would be any of OneDirection.

The Bieber fanbase is in college at this point.

I hope you all feel old.

Thing is, he's a twig. He's pretending to be Steve Austin when in reality he's Steve Urkel.

Umm, yeah, he's skinny. Young girls in general really like that. It's not total of course, there is huge variation. However, saying he's skinny as evidence that he's not attractive to young girls is like saying an actress is unattractive because she has large breasts. If it's not the majority preference, it's probably the largest minority.


Although I completely understand the criticism of people putting on airs trying to seem tough.

 

[GlennB]

The BBC said he was taken to a "correctional facility". They have their work cut out.

 

[Donal]

Wait, wasn't this Florida? How did he not get at least tazed?

 

[Monketi Ghost]

At this stage, he's just being a jerk, like most kids his age go through jerkville.
He'll grow out of it. And maybe have an adult career when he's thoroughly destroyed his kid-friendly image.

Yeah, I think about the dumb things I did at his age. If you threw in $50,000,000 and the perks of being a celebrity...who knows what I would have done.

 

[Gord_in_Toronto]

At least one of the reports from US media had him been born in Toronto. We don't want this. We already have BOB FORD.

Just for the record; The Biever was born in London (Ontario).

Just for the record, he's 19 soon to be 20. Does that still count as a kid?

I don't think he'll grow out of it any time soon. He's never been told 'no' before. It will be a long time before he understands the real world as he's never had to live in it.

At 19 going on 20 I was in college, voluntering with the collections in my spare time and in the summer I helped with an international research project. I'll admit to having a few beers at that age, but the most property damage I did was either breaking a couch by being thrown into it (we had a Fight Club in the dorm), or someone else running into my car (they were at fault, but since they lost a headlight and I didn't get a scratch we called it even). My older sister at that age was running a tutoring center at a university, and my younger sister was in charge of a glass studio (she had a shift in charge of it each day, anyway). Sorry, but age is simply no excuse. At 20, we can reasonably expect you to act like an adult. If not, we can reasonably put you somewhere where your antics can't harm innocent people.

Also, $20k in damage is pretty easy to do. Remember, a lot of houses sell for $500k or more. Egging a house worth $2 million can easily generate $20k in damage, particularly since it's hard to get out of certain surfaces.

As for jail time, the drag racing certainly warrants it. As I heard it (on the way into work; the radio show I listen to was giddy over his arrest) some of his friends shut down streets so they could do it, which is pretty illegal. The problem is, I don't see this doing any good. The kid's a wanna-be gangster, and sending him to jail will only feed the delusion. Community service would be just as bad--it's publicity, and wanna-bes feed off that.

He's white.

That's great but it's a sample size of 3.

But according to one study, 40% of white men and 50% of black men get arrested by the age of 23...young people, especially men, do a lot of dumb things.

Dude...all my bands are eligible for Social Security.
