Whimsical Friday: Justin Bieber kidnapped

You know you’re famous when….
Your cardboard cut-out is stolen. A 23 year old man from Florida was caught running through shopping malls with a friend after stealing the life sized cut out, evading cops. The store owner ran after the 23 year old David Dowling when he bolted from the shop, JB in hand. He was finally apprehended and when asked why, he responded, ‘It was just fun holding Justin Bieber hostage.”
When I first heard this story I burst out laughing. I know I shouldn’t, but the story just seemed comical. Who in their right mind would kidnap a cardboard cut out of a star? Well, I guess any fan would. Still…
What went through this guys mind and how did he come up with the idea. Was he sitting at home, listening to music, maybe playing some computer games and bam, the idea popped into his head. Or maybe he was bored out of his mind and thought, what the hell. I should kidnap a cardboard cut out. Was it a dare between he and his friend to see if they could get away with it? My writers mind wants to know.


So I’ve decided to make up my own scenario.
DD: “Dude, I am so bored.”
Friend: “Me too. You got any money?”
DD: “Nah, I’.”m broke. You?”
Friend: “Same. So now what?”
DD: “I don’t know. Lets hang at the mall. Maybe we’ll run into the guys and convince them to loan us some change.”
Friend: “Works for me.”
They get to the mall, still bored and discouraged at not finding their friends.
DD: “This blows, Dude.”
Friend: “I know, right.”
DD: “Check it out. There’s Bieber.”
Friend whisks his head to where DD is pointing. “You fuck. That’s not really him.”
DD: Laughs. “Made you look.”
Friend: “Seriously, they need a life sized cut out of the guy.”
DD: “Check out all the drooling chick staring at it like it really is him.”
Friend: “Yeah. What’s he got that we don’t.”
DD: “Girls drooling after him.”
Friend: “Shit!”
DD: “Yeah.” A light bulb goes off in his head. “I know how to get the chicks to go for us.”
Friend: “Yeah, how?”
DD: “Steal the cut out.”
Friend: “How will that make the girls want us?”
DD: “We get the Bieber board, run with it and the girls will chase us.”
Friend: “Think it’ll work?”
DD: “Let’s find out.”
And the next thing you know, DD is running for his life holding onto the Bieber board. But instead of chicks chasing after him, the cops are. How crappy is that. LOL
This is only my dramatization and not realty.
As funny as this story is, thankfully only a cardboard cut out of Justin Bieber was taken and not the real deal.

I wonder how much of Justin Bieber's fame is based on the fact that he's young and good looking and has little to do with any talent he may have. I guess we'll see if he's still famous in fifteen years. If he is...it was the talent. If not, it was the looks.

I've never heard him live so i don't know how good he sounds without filtering. I'm thinking once he gets to be twenty, he'll have a down period because he will no longer be the cutie-pie teenie bopper.
I think he'll end up very similar to Justin Timberlake. After he left the band he took a bit of a break, grew up then came back with a whole new sound.
But what do I know. LOL
