Barking Spiders Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Eight years ago this month Justin Bieber was in Amsterdam and made a visit to the Anne Frank house. On leaving he signed the visitors book writing "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber." In the annals of acts of crassness committed by 'stars' this has to be at the top. I mean, where do you start?

Barking Spiders Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Here are some gems from Morrissey Said at 2009 Coachella - '“The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I can smell burning flesh…and I hope to God it’s human.” What he said about dance music in Details mag in 1992 -'It’s the refuge for the mentally deficient. It’s made by dull people for dull people'...of which I'm one it seems. Can't actually think of anything more dull than the music of the Smiths and his own solo 'career'. In an interview with poet Simon Armitage in The Guardian 2010 - “Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can’t help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies.” Edited June 30, 2022 by Barking Spiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
