Bieber Fever

This week's New York magazine had a profile on of-the-moment tween obsession Justin Bieber. I swear, kids are out of control: I have to ask my mum, but even in the throes of my Leif Garrett obsession, I'd never say something like:

"You know what I think of? We're sharing the same oxygen as Justin Bieber."

Oh brother...we have a Trinidadian word- dotish- that means stupid, but stupid to the 125th power. The above statement definitely qualifies.

I get being a fan, but I don't get the crying, hysterical screaming, fainting, etc. And the parents who support it. If I had a daughter carrying on in such a fashion, I'd lock her in the basement. And make her listen to Stephen Hawking tapes for two days.
