Justin Bieber did it again. He opened his pretty 19-year-old trap, and said something that pissed a bunch of people off. This time, according to an article in the BBC, the Canadian pop star left a silly comment while visiting the Amsterdam house where Holocaust victim Anne Frank's family hid from the Nazis.
"Truly inspiring to be able to come here," he wrote in the guestbook of what is now a tourist destination. "Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."
Totally flippant and insensitive, but can we expect more from a teen pop idol?
The museum, which admitted the singer's comments "weren't very sensible," leaked the note on their Facebook page after Bieber's visit as part of his tour.
Teenager Anne Frank famously kept a diary for two years that she and her family spent holed up in the house to escape Nazi capture. She was ultimately captured and killed, at 15, in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.
"He's 19," said museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostart. "It's a crazy life he's living, he didn't mean bad… and also it's nice that he made the effort, he didn't have to come."
Is Bieber really that self-involved, or is he consistently saying dumb things in order to generate publicity for himself? Time for everyone to stop 'beliebing' and move on...
