Justin Bieber pauses a concert in Turkey – twice! – to respect the Muslim call to prayer.
Bet that I know what my next blast email from Frank Gaffney will be about.
BTW, whichever one of you signed me up for that can eat nails.

What, for letting you find out that the Biebster isn’t a total dick?
(By the way, it wasn’t me.)

@Amir Khalid: I think he’s talking about the Frank Gaffney stuff.
I wonder how many reports we’ll get of dad’s tearing down their daughter’s posters of Justin for all the wrong reasons.

Very weird is that’s one of the few sets of fans he hasn’t apparently annoyed recently, based on the barrage of headlines I was unable to completely avoid even at the Guard (the fiends). Monkeys? Anne Frank? V. Baroque set of nouns involved.

Respect for the Mooslim is unAmerican. I’m outraged that Bieber is sacrificing the memories of the 9/11 victims in this cruel, heartless display of dignifying anti-American foreign ‘religions’. By following Sharia Law, he has lost the following of this BeLieber!

@danimal: That would raise his fan base’s mean intelligence several points.

Justin Bieber is a fat slag…
Pam Geller is organizing a CD burning of Bieber’s oevre, not realizing that Bieber fans don’t buy CDs, they download everything. Maybe she can shake her fist at The Cloud.
(I made the Geller thing up, but I expect her to do her part in the effort of our Right-wing to make satire obsolete by putting up a Bieber post any minute now.)

@Bruce S: Is Gellar still around?
Haydnseek
@Brother Machine Gun of Desirable Mindfulness (fka AWS): Yeah, she’s still around. She’s like herpes. Just when you’ve forgotten about it, you get an irritating flare-up.

If any fool right-winger should raise this point, Biebs can give Wolverine’s reply: “I’m Canadian.”

Holy Bieber Batman, how long was that concert?
Haydnseek
@scav: I love mine. I wear it to “They Might Be Giants” shows. In comment 16, I thought I would reference a line from a Steely Dan song and see what happened.
danimal
@Amir Khalid: I thought of that, but I believe we’ve established that Canada is really part of America now that Ted Cruz is considering a presidential run.
Yatsuno
@Amir Khalid: I find it fascinating that he did this in Turkey, which is the most secular of the Muslim nations. And the military is not enamoured of the current Islamists in power, so this was a big risk. Biebs is still gonna flame out hardcore on drugs or booze. It’s just a matter of when.
scav
@Haydnseek: Well, it was tempting NuWho bait, what can we do surrounded by said possible Giants?
Haydnseek
@scav: Sorry, I’m not getting the NuWho reference, but when surrounded by said possible giants, I endeavor to build a little birdhouse in my soul. Can’t post a link, but YouTube has plenty of They Might Be Giants doing “Build a Little Birdhouse In Your Soul” videos.
scav
@Haydnseek: Merely for reference, in furtherance of fez literacy, it rather starts here, with roots in Bow Tie.
Haydnseek
@scav: Great video! I hope that was CGI, and that no fezzes were harmed during the shooting of that scene….

@SiubhanDuinne:
When the English took New Netherland – the province; New Amsterdam was just the port city on lower Manhattan at the time – from the Dutch, King Charles II bequeathed the territory as a royal colony to his younger brother, James, the Duke of York (who later succeeded Charles as King James II).
Roger Moore
@Sly:
And there was already a Jamestown, which had been named for James I, James, Duke of York’s grandpa.
