JB is the perfect age top mop up this group and he looks younger than he is, then you add in some 18-24 year olds who think he's cute, then some moms, then world domination Should have dated when I was 13 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just about pubescent girls needing a first love/sex object who is cuddly and un-threatening. Perfectly healthy, providing they move on to more adult preoccupations as they get older.

Like I say, I think that is a bit dodgy, not to say rather pathetic. The MILFs and Take That thing is (IMO) forgiveable, because after all, Take That are themselves middle-aged men now. And to be fair their music is a lot more "mainstream accessible" - melodic AOR (a la Elton John et al), with a modified dose of teenage memory nostalgia - rather than the tinny pop of Bieber. Of course, he may become the equivalent in twenty years time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, then again, he has been round for around 3 years now, so they would have been a bit younger than that, not to mention he's grown up a tad which may appeal to those age groups more now. God knows why they like him. He can't have many male fans can he... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Had a conversation a few years ago in Pizza Express. My mate asked for a ham and pineapple pizza, the waiter responded by saying that they didn't put pineapple on the menu as they wouldn't put it on a pizza as 'this is an italian pizzaria, not some americanised variation'. My mate pointed out very quickly that 'this is actually just a jumped up pizza franchise in Manchester so get the stick out of your arse' causing spontaneous applause from the rest of us. Ten minutes later we were in a Chinese eatery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
