There’s millions of reasons to slate Justin Bieber. His whiny little face. His stupid alt. lesbian haircut. His awful rapping side-project. His stupid way of flicking his stupid fringe. That stupid ‘Baybeh baybeh, oooh’ song. The irritating way he says ‘showty’. The fact that he’s the wealthiest foetus on Earth.
However, one thing you can’t ever say about him is that he’s manufactured. Or that people who work in factories actually do any hard graft.
You may not think that these things are related, but Bieber has put them both together to prove a very, very tenuous point.
Bieber is under the impression that, if you say something repeatedly, for long enough, it becomes true. He’s been saying that he isn’t manufactured by people who know how to sell records to youngsters. He is. He quite obviously is.
And that’s not a bad thing as such because, like Rihanna or The Rolling Stones who had the rough-edges put on for effect, Bieber is the acceptable face of a very well-oiled and slick pop-culture machine.
Bieber sez:
“Right now, I’m just kind of focusing on my music a lot. That’s really important to me. This movie I have coming out … Most people just think they just put me together, some people just made me like I’m some factory machine, but this movie proves that I worked hard to get here and that’s what I wanted to show.”
What Bieber fails to appreciate, what with him being roughly 9 minutes old and still flicking off bits of placenta from his barely-formed ears, is that pretty much every successful popstar has worked incredibly hard to get to where they wanted to be and always with the help of a massive record company.
And besides – what’s with the assumption that people in factories don’t work hard? They may not have a creative outlet while standing for 12 hours at a giant piece of industrialism, but by fucks, it’s a tougher slog that miming in front of wailing girls for a couple of hours a week.
But he’s schooling right?
“I’m in school. I did school this morning. I do three hours a day and 15 hours a week. I’m in 11th grade. … I don’t know [what level that is in the U.S.], I’m Canadian.”
Again. Bieber, working ‘hard’ doing his 15 hour week. Most kids do 15 hours of school in three days as well as working shitting jobs washing pots or waiting on tables.
So there you have it. Justin Bieber wants us all to know he’s doing a shift for us all. How pissing grateful you must all feel right now.

Well, when you put it that way… no wonder the officials (or some official something or other) in Canada recently banned the unedited version of “Money for Nothing”.
Then again, maybe we shouldn’t knock the wee afterbirth for his fifteen hours of school each week. Most of us spent less than that actually learning, with the rest of our time ‘in school’ being spent wondering how to procure booze, drugs, sex (as we then understood it), and a way to be anywhere but where we were. This little schmuck has managed to be in a position to enjoy all at once, at any time. Damnit, I hate him and his smug midget stupid manufactured self.
