The View’s Bieber controversy explodes in your living room

by Michael Noble

Justin Bieber stirs a pot. And the women of 'The View' toss in additional ingredients. Moral? You've heard it before: Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Do any of you out there watch The View in the morning? Good … I see a couple hands raised just out of range of your computer screens.

Now: Do any of you know who Justin Bieber is? And, again, I see you … and I note for the record you have chosen to keep your hands unraised because it’s such a ludicrous question. I’m good with that.

Well, let me tell you something: No matter what this kid does right now, he’s going to garner attention, whether it be a bad tune he puts out or a casual appearance at some heretofore unknown and unlikely spot … or, hey, how ’bout a magazine interview?

Add to that “a little conversation” from the gals on The View and you have a recipe for controversy and catfights.

See! The opinions fly!

See! The stamping out of ideas!

See! The downward-turned eyes masking what someone really wants to say!

See! The dismissal of opinions!

See! The backtracking!

One of the most interesting things to me about this entire thing is the comment Barbara Walters stated:

“… children often take on the beliefs of their parents.”

Well, yes … yes they do, Ms. Walters. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s one of the things we’re supposed to do as parents. You know … instill good virtues and manners and social skills, ad infinitum?

Now, if it says otherwise in your parent manual, I’m okay with that. Just don’t try shoving it down my throat.

I might just need to start recording The View. I’m obviously missing stuff.

Why the hell does a 16 year old being asked about rape and abortion? That’s ridiculous.

Parents I know are mainly trashy, or just stupid. I’m in favor of abortion because I’m a guy, so it doesn’t deal with me, and also because parents these days are lazy slobs that shouldn’t have children. If those slobs want LESS children (yeah right, they like the welfare money) then good for them, it will help the planet out.
