I think Anne Frank suffered enough without being a 'belieber'.

And there is proof you can make a story out of anything.

History and culture is just wasted on some people. What did he write in the message book after visiting the Van Gogh museum? "Brother is well mental chopping of his ear and sending it to his bitch".

An arrogant **** acts like an arrogant **** and this is news?
of the "thousands of horrified responses" the worst/best the BBC should could come up with for the article are these.
"Just saw what Justin Bieber wrote in the Anne Frank Museum guestbook. Absolutely disgusted," read one tweet.
"Way to turn an inspiring moment into something about yourself,"
Haven't they got any children's songs they need to go and censor at the moment?

He is famous as the music industry needs someone new every few years whom they can exploit.
Like you, I am thankfully unaware of any of his 'tunes'.

Love the comment from Sausage Sandwich on that article: "What he needs is a good slap. Form an orderly queue"

People (especially women but plenty of men too) like who their peers tell them to like.
Not true of all obviously but people don't seem to like to think for themselves or go 'against the grain'/masses these days. Tell somebody you can't stand soaps or the BGT/XFactor type bilge and you're told you're wrong as they are the best things on tv, when asked why people just seem to say they are the most watched and so many people can't be wrong? Well ummmm They are

There is a social aspect to it as well though. I miss out on so many conversations at work because i don't watch reality TV. I actually tried watching my kitchen rules so i could join in a bit more but i found it so awful that i gave up.

It's a long time since I did latin A-level, but I think it was Caesar who wrote about "Panem et Circenses" or Bread and Circuses in translation, which basically means if you make sure the people are fed and are "entertained", you can carry on and do what you like in government. Who cares what state the country is in if you have Strictly Come Dancing.
I am one who does care what state the country is in, have always voted when I have the right to, and can't stand the BGT/X-Factor type bilge, as you so succinctly put it.

Oh, and Justin Bieber is a sad little muppet who could probably do with going through what Anne Frank went through.
