Bieber fever as fans knock down mum
The Daily Telegraph ^ | April 28, 2010

Posted on 04/28/2010 2:06:08 AM PDT by myknowledge

TWEEN idol Justin Bieber is Twittering furious after his hat was stolen and his mother knocked over as 500 fans mobbed him in New Zealand.

Bieber has gone on Twitter today asking his leagues of zealous teenage fans to show a little restraint following the Bieber-fever frenzy in the wake of his Australian and NZ appearances.

Authorities had braced themselves for Bieber-mania by appointing extra security at Auckland Airport and his hotel but within hours of arriving in NZ, the 16-year-old pop sensation took to his mega-popular Twitter account to ask fans to stay under control.

“Finally got to New Zealand last night,” Bieber tweeted to his 2 million-plus followers.

Canadian singer Justin Bieber arrives at Auckland Airport.

Bieber-mania is out of control in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, even his home country of Canada. Wherever Justin Bieber goes, he is mobbed by seas of teenage girls who like his looks.

To me, it's just so much blatant idolatry. To them, Justin Bieber is their 'god'.

While I would not knock down his mom nor nick his hat, I have a critical opinion on his wholly manufactured synthetic talent.

Yes, Bieber Fever is truly out of control and so is Skeet Surfing, the current craze that is sweeping the nation, thanks in large part to the fact that Bieber has not three but FOUR hits in the Billboard Hot 100 related to Skeet Surfing - Please click here for a video of one of Bieber's Skeet Surfing related hits.

While an obvious rip-off of the Beach Boys and the surfing craze that our parents (and grandparents) indulged in back in the early to mid 1960s, this form of surfing is very clearly risky behavior.

Just to give you an idea of how this "Skeet Surfing" thing it taking off, here are Bieber's current chart records - all related to Skeet Surfing - and their current position in the Billboard Hot 100:

"First Wave (Skeet Surfing USA)" - Justin Bieber (#1)
"Skeet City" - Justin Bieber (#2)
"My Baby Had Fun 'Til Her Daddy Took Her Shotgun Away" - Justin Bieber (#4)
"Skeetin' Safari" - Justin Bieber (#7)

Not since The Beatles has a recording act had four hits in the top 10 at the same time. Not even the Bee Gees did it during the height of "Saturday Night Fever" (but they came close).

Yes, us fuddy-duddies may scorn this latest pop sensation but our kids are all wrapped up in it and we should let them have a little fun before they have to grow up and get a real job.

So if you see your kids mounting gun racks as well as surf racks on the family jeep, at least you will now know why.

Good grief. It's just a stupid looking hat. How much could it possibly cost to replace if you're a high rolling celebrity?

I would swear Usher told that 12 year old boy, “pretend you are 15!” Of course he’s supposedly turned 16 now, but good Lord he is the oldest kid to go through puberty!

Just think, if he is 12 and told the fans he was 12, no self respecting 14 year old would swoon. But he was 15, he wouldn’t have that choir boy voice but for a few months. So make the 12 year old 15. Settled.

Other than that, who cares. My 8 year old doesn’t even like him and my 12 and 14 year old prefers Tim McGraw or Deirks Bentley. (however you spell his first name)

Should I be worried that my 14 year old thinks the nearly 50 year old Tim McGraw (”ONLY WHEN HE HAS HIS HAT ON MOM!!!”) is the hottest thing walking?

Every time I watch Mr. Bieber’s oeuvre, I can do nothing but breathlessly whisper, “This is not Mel Torme!”
