Re: Justin Bieber has never heard of Germans

I still have NO idea who HE is!!! My wife and I keep hearing his name and I have yet to figure out what he does or who he is...

Since this is in the Music area, I'm guessing he has something to do with music?

He has something to do with music in the same way Paris Hilton has something to do with acting.

Sometimes you think of people that would make you smile if they were to die. Hitler comes to mind, and so does this kid.

Somebody told me that Hitler is a "german," but I don't know what that means.

Re: Justin Bieber has never heard of Germans

From an article:

Bieber offers his own explanation, via Twitter. "I thought this interviewer in NZ said 'Jewman' instead of 'German' people think I don't know what German is?".

Either way, the video has gone viral as blogs have ridiculed Bieber for exactly that as he did actually read the cue card that seems to say the word 'German.' One such blog, The Huffington Post, had to amend its post making fun of Bieber when it found an interview the singer did in Germany way back in August, in which he talks about his German great-grandfather and even counts to ten in the language.

Bieber mentions that interview on Twitter, saying "I count in GERMAN and translate my own name. Guess I know what German is. Guess home schooling is working out. Do your research next time b4 making a lame attempt at hating on a 16 year old."

I bet this will end up an SNL skit sooner than later. And I wouldn't bet against them haivng him on poking fun at himself about this situation.

The kid is an idiot, if he read it and still could not understand what the guy was talking about. I am so glad that I don't have any kids.

I'm sorry to hear that your Google is broken. Have you taken your Google to a repair shop for an estimate?

Ok, so how does that explain you still couldn't figure it out even AFTER the guy SHOWED you the word on the paper?

"I thought he said Jewman"

He would have been better off walking away in shame. What a dumb ass.

The interviewer repeated the word five times and showed him the note card with the question on it.

Yeah really. If he's pondering it that much how long does it take to Google it? Self imposed ignorance seems to be a badge of honor on forums these days. How many times do you see a topic followed by multiple posts of Who?

"er" sounds a lot like "ew" when you have that much hair over your ears.

See, the problem is I don't care who he is. I know if he was worth a crap I would have already known who he was. I have heard him mentioned several times and seen pictures of him as well, but never within the context of music, which of course makes sense because I have a feeling his name and the word 'music' shouldn't really be sharing a sentence that often...except of course in this sentence. hehe
