[quote]Say what you will about Justin Bieber -- that he's not all that talented, that his haircut (or lack of one) makes you crazy -- but the crooner from nearby Stratford, Ontario, taught 15-year-old Kevin Kristopik one heck of a lesson this week: Do something stupid enough and you, too, can become a star. With the power of Twitter, Bieber unleashed his 4.5 million followers upon the Bloomfield Township teen, who had hacked the Facebook page of Bieber's pal to get the pop star's cell phone number. Kevin proceeded to send Bieber as many as 10 text messages a day for weeks. Bieber asked him to stop, but Kevin, who'll be a sophomore this year at Birmingham Seaholm High School, kept at it. "He just wanted to see if Justin Bieber would text him back," said Kevin's mom, Kathy Kristopik. So, last Saturday -- the day before Bieber's sold-out show at the Palace of Auburn Hills -- Bieber found a way to make Kevin knock it off. He posted Kevin's cell phone number instead of his own on Twitter, urging fans to call or text him. Over the next two days, as many as 30,000 calls and text messages flooded Kevin's phone. Newspapers, TV and radio stations -- even the big network morning shows -- descended upon the Kristopik home. Kevin and his mom spoke with "Inside Edition," which has offered $500 to help pay for any fees that appear on the cell phone bill from all those calls and texts. "There were like five messages from 'Good Morning America' on our phone," Kristopik said. At Kevin's first varsity tennis practice on Monday, "two TV trucks pulled up. And Kevin was yelling at them, 'You've gotta get out of here.' " Of course, the requests for interviews continued. Right up to my phone call to the home Wednesday evening to ask whether Kevin got in trouble for hacking his way to Bieber's phone number or for harassing the pop star. Would he have to help pay for any big bills from AT&T? The answer was not exactly what I expected. "What Kevin did was absolutely wrong and he knows that," Kristopik said. "But what he didn't do was ... give out that phone number. ... He could have sold the number or given it out."[/quote] [url=http://www.freep.com/article/20100822/COL26/8220345/1025/Features/Mom-says-a-good-scare-was-enough-to-punish-teen-who-pestered-Justin-Bieber]source[/url] He should've released the number.
Should've sold the number to one of the thousands of screaming teens - one of the rich ones.
Wow. Both the kid and Beiber were being dicks.
Bieber wasn't being a dick, that was actually a really smart idea. If some jackass kept texting me ten times a day for weeks and months on end, I would definitely pull something like that on him. He wouldn't stop, even after being asked to do so repeatedly.
[QUOTE=MrOwn1;24265848]Wow. Both the kid and Beiber were being dicks.[/QUOTE] Bieber was the bigger dick by giving out the kid's number.
Also if the kid released the number to the public, Bieber would've just gotten a new phone number. That simple.
Oh look, Bieber being a cunt, what else is new? What an asshat releasing the kids number like that. I can imagine how many freakin fangirl death threats the poor kid got.
Cant the kid like sue Bieber for this?
Just.. change your number. Dear god, why is everyone that is in any way related to Bieber such a dense retard? :saddowns:
Shitty move on Bieber's part [editline]06:02PM[/editline] [QUOTE=wewt!;24265994]Just.. change your number. Dear god, why is everyone that is in any way related to Bieber such a dense retard? :saddowns:[/QUOTE] I dont know how to change my phone number I guess i'm retarded :downs:
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;24265876]Bieber was the bigger dick by giving out the kid's number.[/QUOTE] But Bieber has no dick. Therefore he can't be one.
Bieber is such a cunt. You don't interact with the fans. Ever. I wish he'd fucking die.

He wouldn't stop, even after being asked to do so repeatedly.[/QUOTE] We have a legal system for things like this. What the kid did to Bieber was a minor annoyance, and he could have easily gotten a restraining order and\or just called his provider and block all incoming calls\texts from that number. Instead he told EVERYBODY who follows him on twitter, and EVERYBODY who LOOKED at his twitter to call\text that number claiming it to be his own. Ever hear of an overage charge?
I would release beibers number, and make his profile public. [editline]05:57PM[/editline] And sue him.
I think Justin Bieber is becoming.. [i]one of us.[/i]
Bieber Trolled him back. :v: His Gay level went down a slight bit.
Does anyone else have a random newfound respect for him? Fight fire with napalm I always say.
A dick move on Beiber's part, but a hilariously smart one.
That was actually pretty awesome for Bieber.
[QUOTE=Louis;24266002]I dont know how to change my phone number I guess i'm retarded :downs:[/QUOTE] Oh dear
I would've just changed my phone number. Problem solved.
[QUOTE=CunningHam;24267956]If this was anyone but Bieber doing this, you'd all be laughing ecstatically and supporting him.[/QUOTE] Yes I would have, unless that other person was also a tiring asshole
I don't blame Justin, the kid wouldn't stop. The kid was dick to keep annoying him.
Smart move Beiber, smart but dickish.
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;24267790]I think Justin Bieber is becoming.. [i]one of us.[/i][/QUOTE] No fucking way
I bet most of the calls left on the kevin kid's phone were congradulations messages from 4chan. Now kevin needs to tell us beiber's number.
[QUOTE=Echidna666;24268026]That was actually pretty awesome for Bieber.[/QUOTE] Yet everyone is dising him for doing so.
As much as I hate Beiber's music, he owned that kid. +1 Respect.
[QUOTE=ZombicidalMania;24268715]As much as I hate Beiber's music, he owned that kid. +1 Respect.[/QUOTE] His respect is still -999.
[QUOTE=loled;24269015]His respect is still -∞.[/QUOTE] Fix'd. Justin is a cunt.
