[Coulda happened!](Bieber Leaves Message for Anne Frank)

> [@](#):
>
> This is not an Onion news item. Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam this weekend, and signed the museum’s guestbook before he left. The note he left must be seen to be beliebed: “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”

Dear Obama,

Admit it. Bieber is a sleeper agent designed to make it okay for Americans to not put Canadian flags on their backpacks when overseas.

It was an immature comment from a naive 19 year old.

I’m not a Justin Bieber fan by any stretch, but really this just comes down to ignorance and immaturity.

John Lennon was 26 when he said The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. That was a pretty dumb thing to say at the time too.

What Lennon said was not dumb; it was accurate. If Lennon had said “Jesus would have dug our sound,” it would be comparable to JB’s comment. As far as JB, I’m sickened that so many people are so focused on an immature, naive, ignorant 19 y/o. To extend the Jesus metaphor, you’d think JB was born in a manger, the way some of his fans go on.

the sad thing is he probably didn’t even write that. I’d wager most of the “tweets” from people like him are actually written by publicists or other people in the management chain.
