If I’m the presiding Judge in this case, I’d sentence Bieber to 2 years performing with the Osmond Family in Branson, Missouri. 5 shows, 7 days a week. Cruel and unusual punishment be damned! ---

I’m guessing at this point he’s extremely bored and has no idea what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. If you have all the money you need, no real job, no need for a real job, not much education, no real friends, and all you’ve ever known is how to perform in the teeny-bopper entertainment business, what the hell do you do with your time? ---
