| 11-year-old mayor names street "Justin Bieber Way" | AP |
After a request from the tween mayor, a sign saying "Justin Bieber Way" went up on Main Street during a ceremony in Forney, Texas Tuesday.
Caroline said she likes the "Baby" singer so much that is why she rebranded the street in his honor.
"Because I really like Justin Bieber, I like his music and I like him. And I thought, why not have a street in my hometown named after my favorite singer?" she told E! Online.
According to Press Association (PA), the contest meant to get young people interested in municipal government. It added that Caroline is active in student council, recycling and community service projects.
The sign, which cost the local government about 20 dollars, was displayed only for the said day, PA said.
Update: The sign was reportedly stolen. A new sign was made and will be up until Monday, the first day of school. - Dallas Morning News
Seriously? Justin Bieber? Kids are idolizing him for no reason! When you ask them why do you like Justin Bieber.... they can't even answer "THEY JUST DO" this is pathetic!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with naming it Justin Beiber Way?
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot better than using some obscure politicians name. Most cities seem to use politicians to name their named streets. An awful practice.
Why do they love Justin Bieber?
ReplyDeleteJustin doesn't even know they exist in the world.
wow thats gay
ReplyDeletethat's pretty sad.. i wouldn't name a street after him.. :I listen to some real music. ....Oh, fail, we have the same first name D:
ReplyDeletegahh, August 18, 2011 7:36 AM
ReplyDeletewow thats gay
----------------------------------------------------
Very little vocabulary you have, just like the rest of the people in the US.
It would be funny if they undid that street name. I am not a fan of celebrities and to name one after them is just plain stupid.
ReplyDelete^ This is one of the few times I wished other websites had "like" buttons.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the first vandal pasting a "G" sticker over the W
ReplyDeleteOh this is ok. its only for a day. I thought they renamed a street which would cost $10,000 to do. shes a young girl. this is what they do
ReplyDeletethere goes the real estate value...
ReplyDeleteThis soo wrong! people we have soldiers that are returning from war and all they get his celabration on and thank award,, Let's start re-naming our streets of our fallen and returned soldiers so we never forget! and let's forget this justin bieber kid, what did he do for you ony spend money on worthless C.D.'s. Does he fight for our precious freedom we enjoy everyday.NO!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was only for the one day. Learn to read before you pass judgements on 11 year-old girls.
ReplyDeleteSurely there are people in the world who are more deserving of your insults, no?
its only for 1 day which is good. but i dont like justin bieber hes gay
ReplyDeletejustin bieber is WAYYYY GAYYYYY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletechange Street to >>>> GAY WAY
Seriously Justin Bieber You Gotta Be Kiddin Me, Why not change it to "One Way Gay Way"
ReplyDeleteEveryone relax. It's just a little girl putting up an innocent sign for a day. For effing sake, take it easy. I can understand if it stayed up, but that's not the case. Oh baby, baby.
ReplyDeleteshe was mayor just for the day the street really is renamed forever
ReplyDeleteI can empathize, when I was her age I was in love with BBB, and N'sync and all this garbage. It's not like the mayor was 35 re-naming it.
ReplyDeleteremember when being mayor for the day was only sitting in the "big Chair" its funny that they gave her the power to change a street name haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd its not a big deal shes just a little girl soon she will grow out of it so let her be.
Ok, for all of those that cannot read the sign was only put in place for the day that she was "in charge"....
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of trying to get kids into politics, however, it seems like a horrible way for the city to spend twenty bucks.... They should not have let her do it in the first place. They should of explained that we don't name streets after stupid little kids that have no talent and are only famous because all these little girls like them...
Seriously, he is a sad musician... I bet once he gets through puberty finally no one will like him..
He should of never gotten a music deal really... save the plastic for music that's actually worth something...
bet it's a one-way street
ReplyDeleteLeave the poor girl alone. We all had our crushes on singers. I think it's cute. She is, and will grow up to be a responsible thoughtful citizen, more so than some of you.
ReplyDeleteput in congress. maybe she will grow into the job better than the dumb-asses already there!
ReplyDeletenOW i KNOW WHERE TO TAKE MY DOG FOR A WALK WHEN HE HAS TO TAKE DUMP
ReplyDeleteAS A MUSICIAN I FELT COMPELLED TO LISTEN TO THIS KIDS MUSIC TO SEE IF HE HAD ANY SKILLS OR TALENT. i HAVE YET TO SEE ANY SO FAR.
ReplyDeleteSince when are kids given power to name streets, this just shows how imeture little girls are idolizing justin bieber!
ReplyDeletewhats worse about this than anything. is the fact that the money spent doing this could have been used in I'm sure numerous better ways. if justin wants a fknnnn street sighn he should pay for the dam thing.,as 4 the little girl all u guys bashin her, lay off she just a little kid. her parents should have talked her out of this, telling her she could do more for her community than this dumb sighn.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly sad. If she's from the same town as a MAJOR celebrity MAYBE I could see her naming the street after them.
ReplyDeleteWhy not name the street after a hometown soldier who died in the line of duty, or after a police officer who gave his life protecting a citizen?
Think, kid. Does Justin Beiber fight to protect your town or your country? No, he doesn't. He's a 17 year old brat who made it into the music industry (if we can call it that anymore) because they thought he'd be nice eye candy for little girls.
This is a very sad way to get noticed.
Liza-Anna, that comment was win. I agree completely.
ReplyDeleteShe actually got something done in her one day as mayor...maybe Congress can take a hint...Kudos!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutly rediculous. It is a waste of the tax payers money just to have this immature little girl have a street named after Justin Bieber.
ReplyDeleteOH SWEET JESUS NO! NOOOOOOO GOD PLEASE NO THIS CAN'T BE TRUE....god help us all the end is near, i can feel it....
ReplyDeleteCan nobody read???? The sign was only up for a few hours and it was a whopping $20.
ReplyDeletei would honestly do the same lol, but maybe Mrs.Bieber way, haha, god why r u ppl so fuckin rude?! shes an 11 yr old girl u ass holes, wat if she read it..god u ppl are seriously mother effers, its not like she is really the mayor DUH
ReplyDelete^Learn how to spell you stupid 10 year old

ReplyDeleteAnd that is why "Mayor for a Day" needs limitations.
And, frankly, I don't care if she reads my comments, or any others on here. She's 11 and she needs to learn that she made a stupid mistake just like the rest of us had to do when we were that age.
First of all, you put an eleven year old girl in charge. Second, Justin Bieber does not use his actual voice. There's this new technology called Auto-Tune, some of you may have heard of it. I do not want my generation to be remembered for this pathetic excuse for a male who sings like a constipated chipmunk.
ReplyDeleteDumbass 11-year old
ReplyDeleteNot to be a stickler... but I guarantee that sign cost more than 20 dollars (if you include labor).
ReplyDeleteCouldn't she name the street after someone deserving... A hero or icon. But Bieber?
ReplyDeletei'd fuck her...she is hot, man..and very stupid.
ReplyDeleteI love en hot and stupid...wonder if she gives HEAD!!?? hmmmm.. just kidding....ha ha..
seriously Justin Bieber why name a street after him how about one named after Abraham Lincoln or martin Luther king Jr not stupid Justin Bieber
ReplyDeleteEveryone hating cause they can't get a street
ReplyDeleteThis Liza Anne is a terrible person. "This is truly sad," she says. There's nothing truly sad about some little kid naming a street after some celebrity. The truly sad thing is that you have to attack her for it. Why do you care? Yeesh.
ReplyDeleteThat girl will grow up some day and look back on this and cringe. You, on the other hand, are probably already grown up. If, twenty years from now, that little girl blasts an 11-year-old for behaving like an 11-year-old, then and only then will something be truly sad.
Seriously?
ReplyDeleteShe got to be Mayor for a day to name a street sign after justin bieber. That is probably the saddest thing I've ever seen. Hopefully its temporary. I just wonder what she'll think of this like ten years from now.
Glad I don't live there.
I'd hate to live there.
ReplyDeleteThis is why 11-year olds are not mayors... they don't have a good sense of judgment!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it was just a bit of fun... the sign probably cost $10 and there was no damage done!
housing just dropped another 2%! Its Faggot biebers fault
ReplyDeleteAlright people, you all need to calm down. She's eleven! ELEVEN! Are you telling me you never did anything stupid when you were eleven? Or that you never had a crush at that age either? Take a breath, and calm down.
ReplyDeleteFor the people who keep saying how it's so sad that the street is now Justin Bieber Way forever, you should have finished the article.
"The sign, which cost the local government about 20 dollars, was displayed only for the said day..."
Maybe you should stop picking on the girl for having her own opinion on music and guys and learn to read.
