I am so outraged about Justin Beiber

[cthulu2016]

that I... wait a minute, I'm not at all outraged about Justin Beiber.

Like, not at all.

Because being outraged by Justin Beiber is the same as being into Justin Beiber. It is a condition that requires thinking Justin Beiber is important.



Not me. I do not want some of that... for any purpose. And that includes for the purpose of outrage.

Justin Beiber is not even all that typical of rich people. He is typical of aging child stars... a rather unimportant demographic.

The culture of hating on celebrities is the same as the culture of fawning over celebrities—it accepts that these little media creations are exemplars of the human condition... figurines in an ongoing passion-play that, for some weird reason, people think it is important to be emotionally engaged in.

Having never cared about Justin Beiber it would be pretty weird for me to start now.

nor the tearing down of the flesh of these child stars.

I think it is a reflection of a sick society that some have Such hate and outrage against THIS?

Are you kidding me, don't you have something real to be angry about.

4. I'm actually amused at his flameout.

I always love a good crash and burn at the expence of an over rated moron.

5. Totally agree.

But then again....I don't like "reality tv", either.

6. According to the booking document, he is a US citizen (news to me--why did we take him in?)

If this is true and he gets convicted, then Canada won't let him back in...they don't like Americans with DUI convictions.

7. Hey I saw that Hunger Games movie - now I know that was a work of fiction

But maybe there's something there we can adapt to our current situation.
