Beliebit or Not

Hello My Dear Friends. I'm sure you've heard by now that Pop Snot Sensation Justin Bieber has angered educated adults, once again. This time the Biebs visited the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam, (That's in the Netherlands for actual Beliebers), a left what is being called an "inappropriate" comment in the guest book. First, what he actually wrote was "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl.  Hopefully she would have been a Belieber".  Okay. It's insensitive and more than a little egomaniacal. Let's face it. He's a 19 year old millionaire child surrounded by idolizers and Yes men. Is it any wonder that he believes that the world revolves around him? Yes, he visited a place that recounts the horrors of the Holocaust and his take away was "Hey, I bet she would have loved me". Not exactly a lesson learned. But we are talking about a high school dropout who spends his days chugging cough syrup and smoking weed. He drove his car 100 mph through neighborhood streets and spit in his neighbor's face. So we can't really be surprised that he doesn't grasp the tragedy of Anne Frank. What surprises me is the assault his defenders (the Beliebers) launched. Their defense was, in essence, "Who cares. Who is this Anne Frank anyway". It's one thing to be uneducated. It's another thing to be so proud of your ignorance that you wave it like a banner. I have some advice for Beliebers. Defending your hero with the argument that his actions are okay because he's just as dumb as you is not really a winning strategy.  It explains a lot, but it's still the wrong way to go. What the rest of us need to take away from this has nothing to do with Justin Bieber. He is destined to go the way of Korgis, Aldo Nova and The Vapors. Who? Exactly. Our take away should be that, in 25 years, when we're old and in need of care, the Beliebers will be running the world. God help us all!
