Justin Beiber with snake at vma show

[SamNabz]

I don't follow the stars so don't really know what they're up to. But good for him. Might be just a boy but has a good heart.

It's quite silly if you or any one else thinks HE makes his own decisions... Not saying he would rather not give to charity etc. however, I am saying it's all a publicity stunt

 

[Pythoninfinite]

I'm certainly not jealous, and I wouldn't mind his money ... but it makes me puke when someone who has barely reached puberty starts thanking god and Jesus for his success. JB himself seems like quite a nice bloke now, and I hope he stays that way, but it will be very difficult for him. The question I asked was - why does he think god or jesus picked him out of the crowd and gave him special treatment? His success is entirely due to good management (and bloody good luck to him for that), not some kooky entity in the sky.

Not jealous at all, if you were referring to me...

I read somewhere he earned 56 million the past year so for him to dip into his own money (if he does) and give to charity is not such a big deal. In all honesty that amount of money donated is chicken scrap for him. Not to mention that any money he or any other star gives is a total tax write off and gives good public image. It is a total publicity stunt.
As for the snake...I agree, If some1 new to the herp society did the same and took a snake to a loud and bright event with no shelter they would get flamed.

Meh hes just doing it to look cool and get attention and its working. Well the getting attention part, not the cool part!

i dont see anyone getting flamed for carry around snakes, lizards or even baby crocs when it comes to reptile expos, zoo visits etc... im pretty sure they would be loud scary places for reptiles and animals of the like.

You're going to compare an expo to an event like the VMA's where the sound system costs almost as much as a unit..?

your kidding right?
reptile expos and shows still have a hide or enclosure that the reptile stays in throughout the day/show. They are only out when there is a hands on 'show' apart from that they are sitting in an enclosure for the rest of the time.

the issue here is that it is a young rich famous person. That is why people are having a spat about it!

at Australia zoo they carry around snakes that ppl can come up to and touch and hold etc... how uncomfortable & disrespectful to the animal, there are other places that do this also. at expos you see people have there reptiles on display in plastic containers with no hides etc.., and just so the paying public can see them... how insecure must they feel?

It's a reptile expo... Would you prefer we have pictures of the reptiles on show instead? None of my snakes have hides and do perfectly well..

The point is he is holding (barely) a young boa around his arm/wrist and walking around a huge event with loud music, loud people, big flashing lights which is sure to stress it out. Comparing something like that to a qualified zoologist at a zoo walking around holding one (properly) and letting a few visitors touch while they talk about it is nonsense mate...

 

[Pythoninfinite]

I've never been to a reptile expo with a dance floor... It could work... maybe an idea for the Ipswich reptile festival??? Jiving Jags... dancing Dugites... foxtrotting Frillies lol!

who cares if its a reptile expo, there is still people and bright lights and loud noises!

yeh and i am saying that i am pretty sure that the BABY & non baby snakes/reptiles at expos get stressed out also... but you seem to think because its a "REPTILE" expo its not relevant...

lol, a few visitors? and yep, i am sure those zoo snakes arn't stressed because they are at a zoo being flaunted around by a specialist...

At least he does give something to charity, it's better than nothing at all. Of course it's good publicity, but I don't think it's fair to say that's the only reason he would do it, that's being a little too cynical in my opinion. I don't think it's fair to assume that anyone who has money and gives it away can't possibly be doing because they actually care and not just because it will help their image. I know some people are like that but not all. If I had money I'd like to give it away too, and would care less what other people thought about that.

 

[KaotikJezta]

I have seen people on this forum getting flamed hard because they take there reptiles out to the park and in the car with them and no-one says that the flamers are jealous, but because someone famous does it people objecting are all of a sudden jealous, I don't get that.

Yes, but you probably wouldn't make a big deal of it and tell everyone either.

I think a fair bit of what JB cops is because of envy, and that's unfortunate, but at 15 (or whatever) it really knocks me to hear him doing the screwball Yank thing of thanking god and jesus for his success. I just hope he moves onto a more realistic understanding of where his success comes from (top-class promotion and management) and doesn't spend the rest of his life ramming that other crap down our throats.

No I wouldn't, but at the same time people don't know me anyway. I think it can sometimes be difficult for a celebrity to be generous without anyone finding out, their lives are often under a microscope (which gets a bit too much sometimes, many of the things in the news about celebs really don't qualify as news anyway lol). I hope he does take the time to be charitable without people knowing though.

i dont understand it either, but then i am not a religious person...

but it seems like most famous people feel the need to thank god...

 

[Scleropages]

lololol best pic ever! ,hahaaha

Best facial expressions! , hahaah

 

[kawasakirider]

Anyone who reckons they aren't somewhat envious of Beibers success is a liar. As if you wouldn't want to be making multi millions before you were even 17... He's a little [deleted] and I don't like him, but I'd love his money.

The jags would probably look like they were at a rave.

 

[vampstorso]

Well hey,
you've gotta do something to look manly once you start putting your face on Nail Polish stands!!


I think I could happily ignore his existence...but the having an autobiography etc at his age just makes him so distasteful.



Look at that swagga by which I mean...why has he got cloth hanging out his pocket as if he's gangster?!
