Justin Bieber and Anne Frank

I thought it sounded familiar and yet completely blanked on that article, despite finding it hilarious and sharing it on Facebook myself.

Considering the age and intelligence of the average Bieber fan, I'm more inclined to believe that the people who posted those things weren't joking.

To be fair, Anne Frank was just one Holocaust victim of many, so I can understand some very young fans not knowing who she is. The jealous and outraged posts, like "OMG WHO IS ANNE FRANK AND WHY DOES SHE THINK SHE CAN GET WITH MY BIEBS", are hilarious, though.

I wish they'd teach kids some more history in school instead of how God planted false evidence of evolution to confuse nonbelievers.

Man, I had the chance to visit the Anne Frank museum. I was in Holland last March. We were staying in Scheveningen, so not too far from Amsterdam, where the museum is. I should've gone, but our stay in Holland was cut short. If I ever make it back there, I'll definitely go; Anne Frank was one of my idols when I was a little girl, I read her diary multiple times.

They do teach Anne Frank in schools, y'know.

I was only taught the play in English class.

Thing is, how young are his fans? We don't exactly teach Anne Frank in kindergarten...

I don't think I'll know about Anne Frank either, had I not read about history back when I was in Hong Kong. The Diary of Anne Frank is not a universal teaching material (and today I still haven't read it).

I don't know how I come across the book, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't in school.

I still think it's ridiculous. Even if Bieber was at some random girl's house, I don't think it's okay to threaten the girl.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't actually taught Anne Frank until I was like 15, but I knew it by then. Not sure how people don't know her, but y'know how people are.

There are high schoolers who don't know what 9/11 was. Trust me, there are plenty of people who don't know of Anne Frank.

I never learned about her in school. I THINK I saw a Disney movie of her back when I was little and watched Wonderful World of Disney, but I might be mistaken.

I think a lot of kids may have came across Anne Frank's story due to it appearing on an episode of Eight Simple Rules, where the blonde tall one got cast in the lead role in her school play.

It was actually quite moving to watch.

Was that Kaley Cuoco?

Yeah, I think that is the right one, mate, thanks.

I have memories of seeing adverts for that show on TV when I was little. All I remember was that it starred John Ritter, who then died and everybody mourned him for about a month.

I watched it all the time on the former ABC One channel on British digital television. I rather liked the show.

I've read about Anne Frank a few years ago. Poor gal, she went through a hard time.

I'll be honest here, I do like Justin's new music, but it seems like getting better at music is making him worse in public. However, I think Justin thought that Anne, had she been born in the 90s, or survived, could've liked his music. I dunno, just taking the safe side.

The vast majority I've seen so far seems to be in the 12-15 demographic. Of course there are older/younger, but the grand majority seems to be in that age group.

That's what everybody's got their S&M gear all bunched up over? For Christ's sake, Lives really need to be gotten here. I mean I agree it's a douchey thing to do but the way people talk it's like he dug up her corpse for old fashioned scat fetish sex.

RE Anne Frank and being taught about her: I was only taught about her during my last few years of high school in elective History classes.

I had heard of her before then, but never really taught about her. Haven't read her diary, however.

Did you even read the posts in here?

That's... oddly specific.
