"There’s a reason the Anne Frank House regularly has the longest lines in Amsterdam; it’s one of the most moving and emotionally-taxing experiences a person can have at a museum. The faces of the people exiting the canalside history lesson are a testament to the impact the place can have. Which is why Justin Bieber‘s Anne Frank House stupidity isn’t just another example of a famous narcissistic teen warbler doing something idiotic in public – he’s a uniquely loathsome narcissistic teen warbler who is now paying for his idiocy with a backlash of epic social media proportions. “Hopefully she would have been a belieber,” he wrote in the guest book before leaving during a visit last week, inspiring outrage and derisive jokes everywhere. In a schadenfreudian way, it’s lovely to watch – even more so because he’s probably right; Anne Frank very well might have had Bieber’s dreamboy face up on her wall next to her photos of Hollywood stars and European royals. (She also almost certainly would have been put off by his cynical manipulation of a young Holocaust victim, so he’d probably get torn off the wall, too.)"
