As someone from Canada and a proud Canadian, I would like to apologize for Justin Bieber. Yeah, just a general, I'm sorry.

I would also like to apologize for Nickleback more so, especially since they're also from the same province as I am, I've even played with one of their old drummers a few times.

Just remember one thing; Rush came from Canada. The Tragically Hip, The Smalls, Billy Talent, Barenaked Ladies, Big Sugar, Ashley MacIsaac, Finger 11, Alexisonfire, Metric and The Matthew Good Band. All Canada.

Mostly Rush though; they make up for Justin Beiber and Nickleback. For the most part.

Beats me. But I do find it funny that everyone praises his performance in Inception as if they always liked the guy, when 15 years ago it felt like every man would've wanted to personally decapitate him.

I can't speak for others but what got me to like him was The Departed and Shutter Island. Those roles showed me his depth at acting. I also felt Great Gatsby was more deserving of an Oscar nomination than Wolf of Wall Street. Oh well. Back to the topic at hand.

The other photo with caption:



Some comments:

  • “Too cool. And I think Justin is definitely into Minami.”
    “What a lovely photo (*⌒▽⌒*)”
    “Awesome! Minami looks so cute!!!”
    “Justin, you bastard! You can have all of the others, but hands off Minami Takahashi!”
    “And to think I trusted her…”
    “I’m disappointed. He’s not a good man.”
    “Are you picking a fight with the Beliebers? Whoa, Minami Takahashi, your career is over.”
    “LOL You just made enemies of the millions of Beliebers around the world. I can’t believe you shared this photo on your own. Nobody would think that’s OK.”
    “Shave your head bald and make a public apology tomorrow!”
    “Ugly Minami, you’ll be killed by all of the Justin fans.”
    “Where do you get off saying ‘Thanks’ after being kissed? Try to keep your white guy fetish under control!”
    “I’m jealous. (*^-^*)”

(The guy who plays Edward in the Twilight flms, on the other hand, seems to get a free pass.)

I think the guy that plays Edward "gets a free pass" because he has several times flat out stated that he thinks the Twilight story is terrible and that he hates it. Kind of hard to hold a work against someone when they agree that it is awful.
Of course, it also helps that he was first known for his role in a much more respected franchise.

And also Hey Rosetta!, Arcade Fire, Sam Roberts Band, Tokyo Police Club, and Low Level Flight, more recently.
