Rolling Stone asks Justin Bieber questions. Everyone laughs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 February 2011
I’m not sure we are really qualified to take the moral high ground on this, but fuck it, I’m going to do it anyway.
The new issue of Rolling Stone features one Justin Bieber as its cover star, and contains an in-depth interview with the sixteen-year old pop tyke in its pages. “Why would Rolling Stone do such a thing?” you may well ask. Clearly Bieber’s music is of no interest to their core readership. Oh, but what it they were to ask him a load of questions about tricky ethical issues that he – like the majority of sixteen year olds on the planet – will surely get confused or embarrassed about. Well that would be funny, wouldn’t it?
Kicking off with something basic, the magazine asked the sixteen year old if he believed in sex before marriage, before moving on to his thoughts on abortion in the case of rape. Dickheads. Still, how did the Biebster respond?
On sex before marriage, Bieber said: “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them”. Pressed further on whether one should be married to that person before the sex begins, he added: “I think you should just wait for the person you’re… in love with”.
On the more politically sensitive (especially in America) issue of abortion, the Biebster remarked: “I really don’t believe in abortion. It’s like killing a baby”. Remembering Bieber is just sixteen, and almost certainly doesn’t really know what he himself believes (or beliebs, possibly?) about the really big moral questions, it takes someone with a pretty strong desire to make a child look stupid to then ask: How about in cases of rape? “Um”, poor Justin bumbled. “Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that”.
Nice. Still, here’s one we can all laugh at. What political party will Bieber support when he’s old enough to vote? “I’m not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad”.
Yep. But at least in Korea you’re not allowed to do this to pop stars.
