Dammit, did the Bieber fans sneak into CP recently?
Burn the heretic, he's not taking part in the Bieber bashing.
By the way, I am with Mycroft.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

His star, thankfully, is waning. An ad for Tesco's supermarket stores have heaviliy discounted his T-shirts. They were £10 a go but to get rid of them they're now 39p and they still can't shift them. Do I buy a packet of cheap cloths for washing cars for 38p and wait a day or two to get them or take advantage of his T-shirts in-store, ready to grab for 39p?
I'd wait a couple of days.

Nooooooooooo! This just isn't right, unless this turns out to be the episode in which Robin is disemboweled by hordes of animatronic rodents which, due to an unfortunate programming error, tragically mistake the real "actor" for the stunt dummy they're meant to consume.
Will Rogers never met me.

why disturbing? it a defense mechanism by mayweather (he probably had a death threat)
to protect himself he got Bieber to walk next to him, no assassin would pass up the oppotunity to off Bieber giving Mayweather a chance to escape

I gave up reading at the second line, when it became obvious that the author was smoking some serious crack:

Why not? Ben Affleck is going to play Batman...If they are giving up on the franchise might as well go all out and toss everything out.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I remember being outraged (about as outraged as I can get anyway) that Michael Keaton was going to play Batman. That turned out OK.
Of course, there is always the counter example[^].
The people at Marvel must just be laughing their heads off. They can get two Thor movies (I'm assuming the second one will be a success) and a frigging Guardians of the Galaxy movie made, but DC can barely keep Batman and Superman going.

Putting it that way, makes you wonder what they are doing over there that no one will stay around? So now they are drawing from the bottom of the acting pool (at this point sounds more like they are in the toxic waste pool)

Did you follow the links? £10 a pack for cigarettes in Oz!  And I thought the UK £7:50 a pack was expensive...
Mind you, I gave up nine years ago, so it doesn't bother me, but still...

For about 30 years now every govt in Oz has felt it is perfectly safe to whack a tax hike on smokes, and booze, although that one bites them when they get too greedy. Smokes have been fair game and the nanny state that Oz govt has become delights in "it is for your own good" and stump up the price again.
Like you I managed to give up a decade ago, I think once you get to a certain age and realise you are actually mortal you get the will power to give them up. Or maybe I'm just too miserable to pay the price!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I gave up because I got bored with being controlled by cigarettes and my need for them, instead of it being the other way round. I wasn't enjoying them, I needed them - so after twenty years I moved to the patches. Not saying it was easy - it wasn't, particularly - but I believe that unless you actually want to give up you won't succeed. And "These are getting ludicrously expensive" just isn't sufficient justification.
It was interesting to see that very little encourages people to stop: when my mother died of the Big C a few years later (after a lifetime of heavy smoking) as soon as people got outside the crematorium they lit up...

Without the smoker, cigarettes have no purpose in life.
This is quite likely to result in depression, and even cigacide...

It was actually Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens that originally said
Quote: Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it a thousand times.
It was somewhat remarkable in that he died in 1910 and therefore said it decades before society figured out the dangers of smoking.
