Bieber Fever

Did you see the Justin Bieber fever on the news last night? What a laugh.
 

Hundreds of rabid teenage girls trying to get a glimpse of the little Canadian songster while the police showed just how ineffectual they were in dealing with the real Underbelly of Australia. Because obviously there is nothing more scary for the police force than teenage girls on a hormone high.
Poor kids, their concert got cancelled and they all missed out. And some of the parents were really upset too because they’d taken a risk allowing their 13 year olds out into the night completely unsupervised all for nothing.  

‘Bloody Sunshine (or should that be Sunrise) you suck.’ Not me saying that mind you. It was the scary eyeliner abusing gravelly voiced mother of one of the teenage mutants. She turned up when the tv cameras did.

However one of the little teens did restore my faith in the future of the Australian vernacular when she described the organisers as slack. Now that’s a word that I haven’t heard for ages and it’s a great one. Slack. So much better than sucks.

Yer all slack,” she said. Beautifully put. She conveyed her far reaching disappointment for herself, against Sunrise and the mighty police force in one word. Slack. Good girl and they say that Generation Z is losing is Ostraaaylyuness.

So who is the little singing sensation who caused such a ruckus in the streets of Sydney? Well little Justin is just 16 years old. He’s really, really cute. Looks like he should be singing in a happy clappy church. He wears his hair sort of diluted emo, that is it’s not black but there is a lot of fringe action and brushed over his face. I hope he’s using a good oil control shampoo because that boy is just asking for acne wearing his hair like that. But maybe he uses Proactive and there’s an infommercial in his future.

Anyway Justin was and is from all reports a very talented musician, so talented in fact that his mom (I’m speaking American) put his musical performances on YouTube for all those people who couldn’t attend his performances. Can’t you see the email and link.

Hi (insert name). I’m so sorry you couldn’t attend Justin’s concert last night. It must have been very sad for you attending your grandmother’s funeral. BTW how many grandmothers do you have–I seem to remember a lot of funerals. Anyway I have posted Justin’s performance on YouTube so here is the link. Pattie (Justin’s mom).

Recipient thinks shit, another one and presses delete.

Except some didn’t and the music eventually came to the attention of fairy godmother Usher who proceeded to make young Justin a superstar. And now my aged friends you are up to speed with the Justin Bieber phenomena.

Now I could say long live Justin Bieber, but given the very limited attention span of said teenage girls, I think there might be a new version of Justin in our not too distant future. That’s what’s wrong with kids of today–they’re just slack. Image
