I keep waiting for him to hit puberty and his voice go up a few octaves but it just doesn't seem to happen.  I doubt he's 18

Some people get so weird.  Then they become monkeys. 

(I'm not downplaying the real stuff in life, you know me better than that.  I try to bring a smile or chuckle to people once in a while.)

Things like this.

Most of the kids who were cutting themselves for Beiber probably had other severe trauma or personality disorders. I doubt most persons in full control of their faculties would cut themselves because a meme told them too.

But this has been going on for decades, kids hurting themselves over celebrities.  Upon learning Jackie Chan was married many years ago, one Japanese fan threw herself in front of a train, and another Japanese fan drank poisoon outside of his office.  It's a combination of the vapidity of youth, parents not paying close enough attention and a culture which impresses the worship of celebrity as deity.  Five hundred years ago people self-immolated to prove their devotion to whatever perceived higher power they worshipped; today they cut themselves and fling themselves in front of speeding locomitives.

It's a crazy world...

OK, this suit is technically with merit.  But I don't think this bodyguard is going to get much work in the future.

Bodyguard sues Justin Bieber for assaulting him.  I'm just imagining one of those scene where the little guy is trying to punch the big guy, and the big guy just puts his hand on the little guy's head so he can't even reach.

^^^ Now that's rich.  Like I said above, Beiber's a pretentious little shit.  Makes the bodyguard sound like a little whiney baby but still, assault is assault, even if the gu assaulting you is about as intimidating as a wet noodle.

There's never a good enough reason for self harm.  I saw more of that shit when I was a counselor than I care to remember, and not once did the person harming themselves ever -- ever -- give an understandable reason for it.  A rape victim scalding themselves with hot water?  Sure.  But this?  It's just stupid.

Admittedly this is pretty disturbing, but who the hell takes anything from 4chan seriously? I won't judge Beiber or his fans (as a whole) because of something like this, mostly because any sort of generalization of a people is normally ignorant. That and it's mostly young impressionable adolescents and kids, we don't all act fully sane at that age. That said I've honestly never heard a song of his in it's entirety, nor will I, pop just ain't my thing.
