Bieber: hopefully Anne Frank would have been a belieber

But yes, it is funny.
Ehh, I can see why people are upset because it's a self-absorbed and obnoxious comment to make at the historical site of a Holocaust victim. Even if it was meant as a joke, that's an inappropriate place for it. And, I dunno, a lot of people seem enjoy hating the guy.
Honestly, I think he's your average stupid teenager but every stupid thing he does happens to make headlines.

Still a kid. I have seen kids who were 17 and more mature than this guy. The fame has risen to his head and actually makes him feel that he is allowed to come late at his own shows. Kids between 6 and 16 had to wait for 75 minutes before he finally appeared yesterday in The Netherlands.
The Netherlands. Sometimes inappropriate things are still funny and innocent.
Who even expects Justing fucking Bieber to be "appropriate" all the time? He's not the prime minister, the pope or an overseas diplomat, he's a teenager who fell into stardom and does whatever the fuck he wants.

His diary would probably sell better than this girls.
Not a 1:1, but Imagine him seriously saying about any victim of murder, or disaster, or 9/11 for that matter: "I hope she would have been a belieber". I don't doubt his intentions, but why on earth would you say that.

Yeah, I don't think it was a very intelligent or appropriate statement, but there is no malice or disrespect imo.

Lol I'm Dutch myself but that one just made me chuckle. The Netherlands has a lot of things, but clean air isn't one of them.
Yeah I doubt he meant harm, but he apparently has so little knowledge of the world and his place in it, that he focus the attention on himself instead of the victim. How is that not the most egocentric thing ever.

Do we still need to refer to Anne Frank as "the victim" after 70 years?
I swear people take everything too seriously nowadays. "The most egocentric thing ever." smh
Well, I don't know what I was expecting.gif
Aaand I'm out.
Well yes? She is an icon for the murder of millions jews. She is perhaps 'the' victim.

Why is this offensive? If Frank was a teenage girl living nowadays she probably would be buying his records. It was an egocentric comment, yes, but some are taking this out of proportion.

I'm talking about acting as if we are at her funeral.
Im not saying we should all cut up at the Frank house. But she's dead, she won't care.
To me it isn't offensive. But it is a ridiculous thing to say imo and very egocentric.
Showing no respect to what happend in WW2 to this is to me a disgrace. When i was that age i knew all ready i had respect to the people who died in WW2 and who saved us from the nazi's.

Errh is that really that wrong? I'm assuming he loves his fans and he found what Anne Frank did was quite amazing and he would had like if someone like her was a fan of him.

People are outraged about this, why exactly? It's perhaps another brilliant unassuming troll, but regardless it's a harmless comment. Hasn't her room basically become as fine if celebrity shit, autographs, and other stuff with the general assumption that she's be a fan of said swag?

She was a teenager. He's basically saying I hope she would have liked me and what I do. It is really odd, but I think people just want to be offended by him. This marks my 3 post limit of defending jb.
You manage to surprise me in every single thread I see you in.

Admittedly, it wasn't the most eloquent of posts. But my point still stands.
Bieber has this concentrated layer of stupidity to everything he says. I don't know if it's naivety or just his popularity/money/career effecting his teenage years. But the guy does come off as a total asshat. This is just another cherry on top.
It could be a meme in the making 'What would Bieber say about -enter historic event/person/place here-'I hope he does this.

Not a Bieber fan.
Don't see why this is a big deal at all. Are people just looking to get offended? I can't see any offense here.

To me it's less about the offensive, he didn't mean anything bad or had bad intentions, and more about the stupidity of saying it. Making something about yourself...

She always struck me as more of a One Direction fan.

If you give him the benefit of the doubt, it's pretty much "I hope I'm someone she would have approved of/liked". Not necessarily an egocentric sentiment.
It's a guest book. If I had to guess, I'd say that pretty much everyone writes something about themselves. What they learned, how much they enjoyed themselves, thanking the owners etc etc. Do you think the book is just full of a bunch of sad faces?
It was egocentric as hell but that's all it was. No one has made it clear why this is so offensive. He's just a big ol douche and this shouldn't be news.
