Especially one who’s been coached in public behavior, unlike a lot of 19-year-olds.
Do the photos of him that have just cropped up on TMZ where he’s posing in the basement of the house wearing a hoodie and hat and fake boxing with a member of his entourage help or hurt his case? Please keep in mind that it’s pretty expressly stared throughout the house that no pictures or videos are allowed.
I’ve shared elsewhere on here my own “tasteless Anne Frank” story, but I’ll cut and paste it since it’s relevant:
But the professor really did try to get me in trouble for that one; fortunately the dean said it would be hypocritical since he laughed when he heard it (and he thought the professor was an arrogant bastard as well).
But that was the point of Sedaris’ piece, that it was awful of him to feel that way about her home.
Why are we so quick to judge this guy who didn’t go to normal school like the rest of us, has lived with limited parental guidance, and probably signed his name with “You’re a great girl. Hope you’re a Beleiber” a few billion times?
I’m just impressed he took time out of his life to go someplace historic and educational. I just hope he had his shirt on and pants pulled up when he went.
Yeah he could’ve been out buying Range Rovers and Alpaca farms or snorting cocaine* but he went to Anne Frank’s house and people are going “but he signed the guestbook the WRONG WAY!!!”
What I think he was trying to say was he wanted to be the kind of person someone like her would like if that makes any sense. It is aspirational not self-centered.
*True Beliebers know Justin only snorts cocaine on Tuesdays.
Seconded. Motion carried.
This just in: 19 year old boy found to be egocentric.
But not. Did you read any of the rest of the post?
Also she was totally a Directioner, duh.
Yes, I did. I wonder what Justin thinks of it.
You know who else would have liked Beiber, if he had lived long enough to go to one of his rad concerts, don’t you?
That makes no sense. (Against my better judgement) I saw the 2010 remake of “We Are the World.” The kid at the beginning of that was clearly seven years old.
Besides, let’s face it, there’s nothing remarkable about a sixteen-year old kid being able to sing a vocal track into an AutoTuner. A ten-year old doing it without wetting himself? Worth at least as much as a mediocre cat video, probably.
Tonedeafness doesn’t matter any more; not in the age of AutoTune.
Yes it is inappropriate. Not specifically because of Anne Frank, though; because of AutoTune.
It must have been impressive to consider putting up with the killer commute from Amsterdam to Paris each day.
