[QUOTE]Twitter has been flooded with rumours that One Direction fans have committed suicide after a watching a Channel 4 documentary on the group.
Crazy About One Direction, broadcast in the UK on Thursday, has prompted an angry response from fans unhappy about being portrayed as "obsessive".
#ThisIsNotUs is currently one of the top trending hashtags worldwide, as is #RIPLarryShippers - which refers to a sub-group of One Direction fans.
Some users of the site claimed 42 people had committed suicide after the programme - but not one case has yet been confirmed.
Liam Payne from the UK pop group hit back at the programme and tweeted his concern at the suicide rumours.
"Hearing some horrible things... Really hope this isn't true," said the singer.
He added: "We couldn't give a **** what any documentary says there dramatised for entertainment and full of ******** anyway we all know how hard you work for us and see it everyday at our shows."[/QUOTE]

oh god the irony
"We're not obsessive and we'll kill ourselves to prove it."

He obviously does care about what a documentary says if he has to address it publicly. Most people tend to shrug things off if they don't care.
In other news today, Average IQ level has risen among teenage girls.
-- Some people can't take a joke, And also pure logic of people's susceptibility have a strong negative correlation to their IQ.
Good their fans are ruining their good music.
Just to let you know, not even 3 minutes in and they already show the DeviantArt/Creepy side of the fandom in the video

He's obviously referring to his fanbase.
Before this thread gets any more disgusting I'd like to remind everyone of this line in the article
[quote]but not one case has yet been confirmed[/quote]
And that's not even mentioning how misleading the rumors are considering suicidal tendencies are not brought on by such simple, isolated issues like seeing a documentary you disagree with
Meanwhile, let's stop calling people stupid (or otherwise inferior) for enjoying a band that we don't like
Why is it that it seems only girls become obsessed with celebrities while guys don't give the slightest fuck?
[QUOTE=Beetle179;41863832]Meanwhile, let's stop calling people stupid (or otherwise inferior) for enjoying a band that we don't like[/QUOTE]
We're calling people stupid on the idea that they'd take this kind of shit so seriously, or the very prospect that those who started and reported on the rumor seriously think something like this could be held with validity-no matter how idiotic teenage girls have become.
So basically, anybody who cares about the activities of One Direction or it's fans should be wearing a fucking dunce-cap.
What the fuck is wrong with these kids.

Can't wait for these guys to turn into wannabe thugs like Justin Bieber in a few years.

Because women are inferior.
