Not that this is news to anyone with any sort of taste.
But, we're not talking about his music. We're talking about his actions.
Today, on Star 94, I heard Cindy and Ray talking to this 15 year old kid about his experience with the Biebs.
The Rundown: 15 year old starts googling Jusin Bieber and figures out someone he's friends with. He gets on that kids facebook and hacks it. Gets ahold of biebs phone number and starts texting him. Biebs doesn't like this. Biebs asked him t stop. I guess the kid did it again cause biebs, jackass that he is, decided to put the kids number on his twitter as his own with Call Me! 15 year old got 26,000 texts and phone calls.
So, yes, they are both teenagers and teenagers do dumb shit. The thing is, there is a HUGE fucking difference between one kid, who didn't give your number to anyone else, texting you to tell you he likes your music and would love to go to a concert to you tweeting his number as your own to 4.5 million worldwide followers. International texts ain't cheap so the kid will have to pay those. His parents are really worried this will be a HUGE phone bill. He had to change his number and delete his Twitter after the story broke because threats were coming through on both.
Couple of things I'd like to note:
1. You are a celebrity. You chose this lifestyle knowing full well this kind of shit could happen. You haven't been living under a rock so there is a reasonable expectation of fans doing stupid shit to get your attention. If you can't handle that, you probably shouldn't be in the business. (And yes, I know, they deserve to have a life. I'm just saying presently, with no laws really regarding fan behavior, you knew what you were getting into).
2. WHO THE FUCK PUTS THEIR PHONE NUMBER ON FACEBOOK? Where the fuck are the Biebs parents telling him not to give out personal information. Not even because he's a celeb but because you just don't do that shit.
3. How difficult would it have been to block this kid's number or change your own number? I imagine celebs do it all the time.
4. One kid messaging does not equal 26,000 calls. Not only did Biebs get revenge, he upped the ante.

what a grade-A-little-twit. i'm not a fan of his music and definitely not a fan of him.
After reading this: I realized what a dumbass I was and immediately deleted my telephone number off my fb...ya know, just in case I get famous and prevent this from happening to me!
