BET Nominated Justin Bieber For A BET Award (WTF?)

Some things just go together. Peanut butter and jelly. Hot chocolate and whipped cream. Justin Bieber and… the BET Network? Wait, WHAT?
BET just nominated the annoying, smug teenage twerp for one of their BET awards in the “Best New Artist” category. This clearly begs the question: What the fuck, BET?
“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,” said Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. “He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.” What type of music is that, Stephen? Shitty, juvenile music?
Aside from a fat cartoon character in a Shrek ad in the sidebar, Bieber is seemingly the only white person pictured or mentioned on BET’s homepage, thus making this award nomination one of the most pathetic, most obvious cases of “jumping on a bandwagon” that I’ve ever seen in my life.
Way to sell out for a few more viewers, BET.

Not to drag this thread to a screeching hault before it begins, but I think JBiebs (as I affectionately like to call him) has plenty of dudes in the hip-hop world that are grooming him that most likely have ties with BET. They all have a huge amount of money wrapped up in the little annoying guy, so they all have an interest in marketing him. That said, I would give my left nut to read all the hate mail and backlash that BET is getting from their core demographic audience regarding their (BET) putting that little white boy out-front. It’s kind of interesting to see what will happen, in a sick sort of way.

I’ve had this idiot grace my television three times in ONE week with the same annoying song…Oprah, Ellen, and American Idol. Seriously, he’s being shoved down our throats. He’s so phony and “manufactured”.

Maybe he’s just REALLY light-skinned? No?

Wait, why hasn’t Justin Timberlake (aka the White Usher) or Alan Thicke’s son been nomimated?

I cannot fathom how much I hate Justin Bieber. I once asked my friend when he’s going to go through puberty and she thinks he already has! I wish I could disagree…

Hey Daryl, Justin still won’t be your friend if you kiss his ass on a blog. Sorry to shatter your dreams.

Hey, Daryl, I really hope that you’re an 11 year old girl, because if you’re not, you are going to get your ass kicked very soon.
And you’re wearing a dress.

Justin and Lizzy, I wasn’t going to say it, so I’m glad someone else said it for me.
