America's most popular show about collecting bodily fluid samples, "CSI," kicked off its 10th season last night with an episode guest starring Justin Bieber. Yes, that Justin Bieber -- the 16-year-old Canadian pop idol who induces swooning among third-grade girls by making heart shapes with his hands.
Now, maybe it's just me, but you don't put Justin Bieber in your TV show unless you want to attract 9-year-old girls. Evidence of this: When I viewed a Justin Bieber video on YouTube -- for research purposes, of course -- the site suggested that I may also want to watch a clip from the new Tinker Bell movie. And "CSI" is not a show for 9-year-old girls. So let's take a look at what the nation's collective daughters were witness to last night when they tuned in to see their favorite toothy heartthrob. Warning: Massive spoilers follow.
9:00 PM EST - We're off to a great start with an exceptionally bloody last-season recap. There's a cop getting shot. There's a man with his throat torn open. And the montage ends with Laurence Fishburne getting shivved in the back by Mr. Noodle from "Elmo's World."
9:06 PM -- A coffin explodes during a military funeral. It's disturbing, but not as disturbing as watching Justin Bieber romance girls who look five to 10 years older than him in his videos.
9:18 PM -- The titular Crime Scene Investigation team scours the bombed cemetery for clues. In the process, viewers get to relive the explosion scene over and over and over. It's almost as repetitive as the chorus to "Baby."
9:25 PM -- Autopsy time! The medical examiners pull nails and razor blades from the wide-open chest cavity of a corpse. It's a good science lesson for the young ones.
9:28 PM -- Bieber! Finally, we get to see him -- uncharacteristically hoodie-less - as the youngest audience member at an anti-government militia meeting. But he barely gets to say one line before those meanie cops raid the place and arrest everybody there.
9:35 PM -- Hundreds of young girls wish they were the cotton swab used to get that sample of Bieber saliva.
9:40 PM -- Bieber's big moment: The interrogation scene in which we learn that he hates authority (no surprise there -- we saw the way he threw that big house party in the "One Time" video, even after Usher specifically told him to keep the place neat). The CSI guy goes easy on Bieber and gets him to rat on his brother, who is apparently the mad bomber.
9:49 PM -- The Bieber brother is gunned down and the world (or at least Las Vegas) is saved.
9:52 PM -- Strange interlude: One of the CSI guys has a dead baby pig in a jar on his desk. It's possibly the most disturbing moment of the night.
9:53 PM -- Marg Helgenberger finds a dead homeless man, whom they sensitively refer to as Mr. Aromatic. But the corpse is just a trap. Another bomb goes off. THE TERROR IS NOT OVER.
9:56 PM -- Cut to Bieber giving his best Hannibal Lecter smile, and proving once and for all what I've been wondering ever since I saw him put Jaden Smith in a headlock during the "Never Say Never" video: Justin Bieber is pure evil.

Deven said...The person who wrote this article could care less if nine year old girls are in "love" with him. He could also care less about your comment. What you need to know is that you are not in love with Justin, and that it is this sick obsession you have with him. You are making a bad paradigm of someone you don't even know personally, and another paradigm of Justin Bieber, who I doubt you know personally (yeah that's right-searching him up on Wikipedia doesn't mean you know him personally. Nor does the fact that you have went to an autograph signing.) If you cannot understand the humor that the author of this post has put into this blog, then it is highly reccomended that you don't read his posts OR hate comment on them, 'cause all you're gonna get is hate comments back, like mine for example. Also, if you don't know what paradigm means, then look it up. Oh, and if you actually read this lengthy comment then brava! You probably had nothing to do anyway since you finished your ten hours of staring at Bieber all day.

Josie said...You're not in "love" with him. You're 14 years old. You just think he's cute and have a crush on him and that's normal for your age;however, to other people he sings like a girl and it's an obsessed with him or laugh at him kind of thing. From what I read in the article where the author described what happend (since I failed to see this episode and probably will refuse to watch it now that I know Justin Bieber is in it, but that's just me and I know I'm not alone on that)Bieber played the role as just another person sho got interrogated and blah blah blah. Anyone could of played the role, he just needed publicity cause I'm pretty sure he knows as soon as he actually hit puberty and his voice changes he'll be out of a career so maybe he can attempt to be an actor. Which is all we need another child star that gets someone pregnant, becomes an alcholic, addictied to some form of drug, or just does stupid things. And I believe the author made his point when he said that 8 and 9 year olds shouldn't be watching CSI what's the rating on that show anyway? TV13? at least because of the gore. Heck, I'm only 17 and some of the things they show on there make me cringe. And Beiber does appeal to the lower ages for girls it's been proven already, altho there are some girls who are in the upper ages who like him but general cut off age is pre-teen. Do you're research and get YOUR facts straight. Just because you think something doesn't mean it's right.

Josie said...By the way. What is a 14 year old girl doing on a Pregnancy/Parent website anyway?
before you ask me the same thing I'll tell you my answer. I have a friend who is pregnant and I was doing some research to help her since her fiance is over seas right now and isn't here for her, and I was getting a few ideas for her baby shower.

k said...I'm a big CSI fan but this article cracked me up. Lighten up tho JB is just flexing his acting muscles, trying out different parts like all young actors. My 10 y/o boy watched in hopes that poor JB would be th victim, considering the ending there's still hope for that. Anyway entertaining article I wish AOL would have more like it. As for me I still hold out hope for Lady Gaga being a particularly gruesome victim sometime in the future!!!

Nicole said...Ugghh I'm 14 and I do not care a drop about bieber. He's not all that cute anyway, and when I first heard that he was on the show my first thought was "I hope he's the victim!" This was the same thought that was shared by a majority of my schools 600 population, bieber girl, please, please don't make us other SANE 14 year olds look bad. Between 'twilight' (uggh) and justin, everyone seems to think teenage girls are crazy for that BS. I myself would MUCH rather date Daniel Radcliffe, and read Harry Potter then deal with any of this crap.
