Well, you know, sending him down here in the first place was the opening salvo…

The Conservatives are getting rid of it – the bill just went through second reading. [http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=5193892](http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=5193892)

Given that it only takes about $800 and a bucal swab, it will be interesting to see whether Bieber’s camp uses this to keep his name in the papers, or instead determines the matter by getting the test done in a few days.

It more complex than that. Mariah Yater hired a look-alike to go fuck Justin Bieber, but her look-alike was confused by _his_ look-alike. She ended up buying one of those babies stolen by the Catholic Church, so the baby isn’t related by blood to either of them.

No no I’ve got it:

There are dozens of Biebers that were created in a lab (much like there were multiple Lassies and "General Lee"s on Dukes of Hazzard) so they can cycle though them instead of working one Bieber to the bone.

This is obviously the work of a clone!

According to the following webpage, it might depend on their exact ages.

[http://www.ageofconsent.com/california.htm](http://www.ageofconsent.com/california.htm)

If she’s more than three years older than the Beebs:

I read that she’s on food stamps. I know that when you receive public assistance, you’re pressured to name the father so that he can be pursued for child support, relieving the state of some of the burden. Wonder how that conversation went.

Worker: So, what’s the name of the father?

Mariah: Justin Bieber.

Worker: :dubious:

Would you indulge me for a couple minutes to listen to him singing a capella?

This is only about 90 seconds long:

More recently…The “Baby” in this is a little weak (I don’t think he can sing that high anymore) but he nails “Mistletoe”. Again, just about 90 seconds.

The accusers lawyers on cnn.

No real new info, but at least some tough questions were asked. The cnn guy makes a good point that there was no need for salacious details about the actual sex.

Man, December 15th can’t get here fast enough for me. Supposedly she’s claiming she has “credible evidence” that this actually happened and I’m dying to know what it is.

That’s gotta be an awkward conversation.

I’m trying to imagine how this would have gone with a young Rolling Stones band.

Mick was probably all, like, “Wait…there’s gonna be girls?”

Musically Canada has a lot to answer for- Beiber and Celine Dion.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Anne Murray was Canadian either.

Fortunately there was Gordon Lightfoot.

I still think of Marie Dressler when I think of Canadian women.

I guess Bieber’s people want to milk this story, or he’s worried about something. He just hired a Crisis Management Team.

He could have submitted a dna sample yesterday and taken most of the life out of this story. “I’m innocent and here’s my DNA. Lets do the paternity test. I’m not worried about the results.”

You know, I’d be pissed if a 16 year old mega-star worth tens of millions of dollars _wasn’t_ banging tramps backstage. I mean shit, what the hell else is he supposed to do? Isn’t that the whole point of both being a 16 year old boy AND being a pop star?
