— Ace This is actually news, if you can believe it. I had written this, then thought better of it, and decided not to publish it, until I saw it was on Drudge.
The hashtag #Cut4Bieber began trending, suggesting that dedicated Beliebers engage in self-harm through cutting themselves in order to get Justin's attention in response to his recent alleged bad boy behavior."Lets start a cut yourself for bieber campaign," an anonymous user initially wrote before the thread was deleted, according to Billboard. "Tweet a bunch of pics of people cutting themselves and claim we did it because bieber was smoking weed. See if we can get some little girls to cut themselves."
Justin Bieber apparently got caught smoking weed, so 4chan created an astroturf prank wherein they claimed that girls were cutting themselves (CONTENT WARNING)in order to convince Bieber that weed is bad. The content warning is for imagery of cuts on girls' arms. Some of these pictures may be fake, but others, I'm guessing, are just lifted off the internet, and are thus real cutting pictures, but falsely claimed to be part of this #cutting4Bieber hoax.
I believe this one is transparently fake, though, so a lesser content warning on this one.
As a follow-up hoax, they then conspired to claim that their rivals "9gag" had actually started the hoax, and shame on them, because, they further claimed, an impressionable young girl had in fact attempted to cut herself in order to encourage Bieber to stop smoking so much weed, and had died as a result of this.
None of this is true, you understand: They're continuing to make things up. But they started a hashtag #rememberAddison (Addison supposedly being this Biebercidal girl's name) and a whole faked-up internet trail to give her existence credibility, like a YouTube channel and MySpace page and her "brother" starting a "Remember Addison" facebook page and so on.
I wasn't going to post this because it wound up occasioning Too Much Thinking about what is funny, and what other people find funny.
I find it darkly funny, rather than cruel, but only because I make the following assumptions:
1) They weren't really serious about trying to get girls to cut4Bieber.
2) The idea of someone actually cutting4Bieber is so outlandish, so absurd, and so unlikely to actually happen, that it seems harmless.
3) The actual object of the joke -- that is, the person you laugh at the end -- isn't girls who love Bieber (well, secondarily, maybe) but rather people generally, and their willingness to believe all sorts of things.
If you don't share those assumptions, then this will seem more sinister.
On 3, I thought about that some, and thought about the media and the public being part of an unwitting symbiotic relationship on things like this: The public wants to be distracted, and the media wants to write easy, distracting pieces.
I suppose I'm okay with all of this just because I don't think there was (much) evil intent beyond poking fun at people for being so gullible, and because I think it's unlikely someone would start cutting4Bieber just to let him know "Weed is bad 4 you," as one fake tweet explained. Some girls cut themselves, but... I doubt they cut themselves because they saw it on Twitter, or to let Justin Bieber know about the long-term consequences of marijuana use.
On the other hand, anyone with daughters, I imagine, will feel very protective about them, and will see very little humor in this.
See? That's why I didn't publish it. Because opinions will sharply vary depending on one's own situation and point-of-view, and it's hard to say that someone who feels a natural protectiveness about young girls is "just wrong!!!!" and should "lighten up!!!" I can't say that -- they're not "wrong." They just have a different background and situation which causes them, naturally, to react differently to the same stimulus. And that's why I wasn't going to post.
But it's on Drudge, so it's news, and I've now spent 30 minutes writing this crap, so I guess I have to publish it.

I mean, W..T..F..????
So nancy boy got caught toking and the gag is that tween girls are cutting themselves to show that smoking weed is bad? Do you have to be high to get why that would even remotely make sense?
I mean, I'm not a comedic guy, but doesn't a good gag have to have some element of believability to it? You have suck the people in before you drop the hammer. Did anyone actually buy into this?

Which is what I mean about the desire of the media (if I may dignify buzzfeed momentarily by calling them "media) to write easy, thought-free stories that will push people's buttons and distract them, and this all works because people secretly wish to have their buttons pushed and be distracted.
The Obama Campaign proved that well enough but here's further evidence.

BSR,
That is pretty funny!! And thanks to all and any morans that called Illinois poilticians to try and stop that crazy gun bill they were trying to jam through in the lame duck session.
NO MORE GUN CONTROL, it does nothing. If we guard our money and politicans with those evil guns, is it not the least we can do to guard our children, our treasures with arms as well?????
Marco Rubio-Tom Cotton 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No LiB, let's stand up and fight for this country for fuck's sake. And I leave you with one hell of a quotation:
In a fiery speech on August 1, 1776, Samuel Adams bellowed, "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom -- go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"

To the extent that 4Chan is a part of this, (marginally, but still at the margins) I wonder if it will inform my decision.
(FWIW, what's mostly driving the decision is a long tiredness of the constant heckling and speech chilling that goes in that culture against anything that upsets their strange worldview.

I don't think this one was so unbelievable, as long as you don't know the source.
Too many girls (and some boys) cut themselves.
Too many girls (and some boys) are obsessed with tiny Beebs.
Is the intersection of those two groups large? Dunno, but I believe it exists. Now, the specific motivating factor, that this intersection is cutting to try to force JB to stop smoking weed. Eh, not so believable. But then again, the obsession so many girls have with JB is pretty unbelievable to me too. I mean the boy drives around in Fiskers and Ferraris. He has more money than most of us combined, and more access to poon of all ages than most of us combined.

Flatbush,
Alex Jones missed a huge opportunity. Piers asked how many gun murders in America (roughly 11k). Then how many in Britain (only 39 or something).
But Alex Jones couldn't deal with this statistic. Here is where you pounce. So, Piers, is your argument that more access to guns leads to more murders?
And then you bring in the elephant in the room of switzerland, 3rd highest gun ownership per capital in the WORLD and inquire about the murder rate.
So, it's not the access or prevalence to guns that cause murder, nor is it even the scary "assault" nature since a lot of swiss guns are the evil "weapons of war".
It is easy to depants these idiots, and Alex Jones missed a big opportunity and allowed Piers' false point to go unchallenged. Plus he failed to state that UK now has a violent crime rate high than South Africa, its cops now carry guns, and they have criminal gangs using guns to commit crimes everywhere.
Awesome.

I'm not so sure about your premise #1. As it turns out, 4Chan is full of sick anarchist leaning fucks who tend to love to cause as much commotion and pain as possible.
They thing being anonymous gives them the power to do this, and they get a kick out if.
So yeah, if #1 isn't true (i.e. if they did intend to get at least one person to buy into it) then it is cruel.
I suspect that part 2 of scam only began when the "media" picked it up first (and since being caught as a farce would happen eventually they jumped tracks and decided to further troll the media rather than keep trying to troll (pre-)teen girls.

Congress in the 90s(?) authorized the Treasury to mint precious metal coins. Since they've already done silver and gold, the thought is that a platinum coin would be unique; it's value would be based on its stamped value and not based upon the value of the metal is possessed.

Bieber is being pursued by all kinds of raving fans. These fans will be played by Selena Gomez, Kate Upton, and Taylor Swift. Plus a few others including Honey Boo Boo.
So Bieber flees the country and lands in Istanbul. Where he finds his limo not waiting. So he is kidnapped by white slavers who mistake him for a white girl. So he gets sold to an out of the way rich man who thinks of himself as being descended from Ottoman nobility.
And Beiber finds himself in a harem to be educated in being a proper lady of the harem. His trainer is Didem who discovers his secret and becomes his protector.
Then after long months of acting like a girl in harem training; Selena Gomez, Kate Upton, and Taylor Swift track him down. So they dress up all in black and do a ninja raid to rescue Justin from the harem. Whereupon the #1 lady of the harem, played by Christina Hendricks, captures them all.
That is all I have off the top of my head. Feel free to expand.

You can still have the harem scene. Just have it where during the soccer game a bad kick sends his head rolling into the harem tent while the chicks are dressing. After the head rolls in and freaks out the naked harem chicks they all grab sticks and start beating the head.

Then once Selena Gomez, Kate Upton, and Taylor Swift are captured. They meet Didem. And then the cat fight erupts as they all accuse of trying to keep Bieber for themselves. And in wanders Damon and it takes him a full five minutes to realize finally that Bieber is a guy, perhaps the shredded harem pants give him away; and Damon in character screams "Hasan! Chop!" and what next results is a mad chase through the harem with cushions, clothes, and even women flying. Before Hendricks manages to stop Damon and rescue Bieber.

Think of your family members, friends, acquaintances and everyday people as residing inside a series of concentric circles. Let's say that the ring level where "compassion" ends and "don't give a shit" starts has moved a little closer to the center.
But then isn't this what the Left is looking for?

Well Bieber could trip over the fountain in the center of the harem, bonk his head, and drown in mid-pursuit. Or get pecked to death by a peacock.
Damon would probably cut his own legs off with one might sweep of his scimitar as he ran after Bieber.

I agreee. Each generation experiences a difficult trial in this country. They just experience it at different times. Maybe we are experiencing it now. Maybe we will experience it in 5 - 20 years and it will be a result of what we have done for the past 10. I don't know. But I agree. As Rush says, conservatism isn't easy. Liberalism is easy. Conservatism is hard. It is not the norm. It must be learned the hard way. But it is always learned.

I'm guessing you don't visit 4chan much, they're middle aged douchebags who get off on hurting kids and girls. They're favorite things to do are "dox" kids and girls, put their personal info online and harass them, the younger the better as far as they're concerned, they're scumbags.

Seems like a 1 Trillion coin made out of platinum would be very, very heavy.
It's not actually going to be 1 trillion dollars worth of platinum. That wouldn't be quite as silly. But what's the point? Where are they going to get a trillion dollars worth of platinum apart from borrowing another trillion dollars to buy it?
They're going to mint a coin with $6,000.00 worth of platinum (or something like that) and label it as a trillion dollar coin. Basically they're just looking for excuses to print money.

Check the text for Related links at the bottom of the page if you car to. That's the best part of the page. But what can one expect from the source.

Yup...I figure if parts of Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso ever figure out a way to secede and keep "Texas" as the name of their state Texas will be true blue.

I know. And there are logical consequences to that. All of them predicted by conservative philosophy. Fist comes federal insolvency. Either we learn then ad cut spending, or more likely, we try to tax or inflate out way out of it. With either high taxes or high inflation, we have extreme economic turmoil. It will happen eventually. Hopefully, it will be about that time we learn better, but if not, there is always lawlessness, rioting and perhaps foreign invasion to look forward to. Or maybe the disbanding of the union. We can hope for the latter, but if not, then the takers destroy the makers, and eventually die out themselves.
Yeah, sure, the country dies...but conservatism lives on. And that is really what is important; standing amid the ashes and saying "I told you so" to your annoying lefty neighbor.

I live in Texas, i keep telling people that they if they think illegal immigration and people moving here from blue states isn't affecting our politics they're whistling past the graveyard. All the major cities in Texas were solid R in the 80's, now they're all solid D. Just like in states like Pennsylvania it doesn't matter how conservative the rest of the state is, if the major cities vote D eventually it'll be too much for the rural R population to overcome.

People who already know the news is full of bullshit will continue knowing it. People who want to look smart and skeptical will say "See, the news is full of bullshit" then go on believing the rest of the news. Reporters will continue lying and being lied through freely and smugly. And people who can't believe the news is all bullshit, because in some way it's their friend, they'll find a way to get mad at whoever had the idea for the prank.
It proves Freud right. But no one believes it when Freud is proven right.
Which proves Freud right. But...

I don't really see that as unlikely, given the current state of our culture. Hell, there were people who wanted to commit suicide because Pandora (the planet in Avatar) wasn't a real place.
