As if you needed more reasons to hate him.
He had a concert at the United Center (Home of the Blackhawks) and had personal viewing with the cup. He made a near sacrilegious mistake of standing on the indianhead logo in the locker room. In Chicago, that is WAY worse than ripping up a picture of the Pope!

I saw that. That's just the idiot's problem who thinks it's a problem. That's nothing but a dumb reason to hate. (I'm not talking about you, my friend, of course)

I think (hope) JPK is just trying to be funny in mentioning it.

Not at all a fan, but keep in mind, like many child and teen stars, he hasn't had a particularly solid formal education.
Signed with Atlantic Records around 9th grade, and has been touring since.
"One of Ryan's questions specifically revolved around how Justin was able to balance his life on tour with trying to go to school. Bieber's answer was simple -- he doesn't attend a regular school, but he has a tutor who comes with him from city to city and tries to inject some sort of knowledge into his brain. Bieber's thoughts on her were simple: 'she's pretty cool...she lets me watch movies.'"
But being from Canada, he's still probably better educated than most Americans his age (think about the expectation that he wouldn't know who Clinton is?)
Except, if sources on the net are correct, he only went through grade school in Canada. Everything after that has been on the road.
"After moving to Atlanta with his mom at age 13, Justin completed his education through online corses (sic)."
Not sure how that relates to my comment, which was meant to take that into account (it was well laid out in this thread that he didn't finish school.)
So let me try to spell it out for you:
Even though he didn't finish school traditionally, and his schooling once on the road is questionable, he's still better educated than most Americans his age.

Could that be construed as damning with faint praise. :wall:

From not too long ago (late May):
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/2...AA20130529
Teen pop star Justin Bieber is under investigation for allegedly speeding through his gated Los Angeles-area community in a Ferrari sports car, prompting neighbors to complain to police, authorities said on Wednesday.
Residents of the singer's private Calabasas, California, neighborhood called police on Monday saying Bieber was driving recklessly through the gated estate, Los Angeles County Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
"Two witnesses called us and claimed he was driving a white Ferrari at high speed," Whitmore said, adding that one witness was former NFL football player Keyshawn Johnson.
Bieber, 19, who has refused to be questioned by police, could face a misdemeanor reckless driving charge when the investigation is handed over to local prosecutors in the coming weeks, Whitmore said.
A representative for the Canadian singer declined to comment on the reckless driving allegations.
It is the second incident involving Bieber and his neighbors in recent months.
In March, Bieber was accused by a neighbor of spitting on him during a confrontation over parties hosted at the singer's home while he was on tour in Europe. The case has been turned over to prosecutors, who have yet to bring charges against him, Whitmore said.

He shoulda peed on that, too.

Clearly one of the most empty vacuous statements ever made by a possibly living intelligent organism, as the jury is still out.
If Bieber was intelligent or well schooled he would likely not be in as much hot water as he usually is.
Granted he is young, but he has little common sense or respect for other people.
ymmv

I don't usually give him much thought or time, FWIW.
I don't hate the kid, just don't make me listen to his version of pop music.
