Continuing in the tradition of sharing the transcript for the Who the F is Justin Bieber segment of the Brett Carruthers show on CJ 106 (that's not the actual name of the show but since the show doesn't have a name we'll go with it.) Haven't done one in awhile, so let me know what ya think.
Who the F is Justin Bieber?
The right to say and think whatever you please is something I strongly believe in but of course where, and indeed when, that begins and ends is a matter of much debate.
Lots of people go overboard from time to time without meaning to. The real problem is people who do it continually, on purpose, just for the sake of being cruel and creating media buzz. Such is the plan of action for the Westboro Baptist Church; A group that goes to such disgusting lengths to get attention that they make Kanye West look like J.D. Salinger.
I don’t think I need go too in depth down the list of their crazy stunts. The numerous besmirchings of soldier funerals, a demonstration near the final resting place of the legendary Ronnie James Dio and a gay campaign that would illicit some scholars to speculate on whether they doth protest too much. Even the majority of leader Fred Phelps family wants nothing to do with him.
Indeed the fanatical religious group is slightly less popular than Michelle Bachmann at a Natural History event. The latest target is rock and roll icons the Foo Fighters. The group is planning on protesting next week’s Foo concert in Kansas over the band’s cheeky Hot Buns tour announcement video. In the clip uploaded to the band’s youtube page, Dave Grohl and company play truck drivers who stop at a diner to shower and clean each other up. It’s quite tongue in cheek and fits in well with recent odd celebrity offerings like Jim Carrey professing his love to Emma Stone (which I think could totally work as part of some weird viral campaign for something.)
As we have learned though, the extremist group does not have a sense of humour. And if they do it’s either for the worst comedian in the world or for someone going on a racist rant like Michael Richards or Tracy Morgan. Another thing we know, which would dovetail nicely with the hot buns video, is that Dave Grohl is not shy about voicing his opinion. Just ask Ryan Murphy or the guy trying to fight with someone at the band’s Itunes Festival show.
Both of which got supremely cussed out for comparatively little reason. If he chose to freely comment on this, the ensuing storm would make Tony Montana from Scarface blush.
