This Is Why Children Should Only Be Mayors On Foursquare

11-year-old Caroline Gonzales won a "Mayor For A Day" contest for kids in her hometown of Forney, TX and her first official order of business was to name a street after her personal Jesus: JUSTIN BIEBER. That STOP sign next to Carline perfectly sums up all of our reactions to this mess.

E! News says that the town came up with the contest, because they're trying to get kids into politics and government. When Caroline was asked WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY? by the people of Forney as they packed their stuff into a U-Haul to move far far away, she said, "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?"

If that sign is a permanent thing that will forever live in Forney, then I hope it's on a street that is nothing but a stretch of desolateness full of abandoned warehouses, killed dreams and crack shanties. Because can you imagine living on Justin Bieber Way? Every time you typed in "Justin Bieber Way" in the credit card information box on a porn site you want to join, your boner would die along with your will to go on living.

On ONE positive note, at least Caroline is a kid who is doing stupid kid shit even if it's a nightmare for everybody else. If my 11-year-old self was named Mayor For A Day of Forney, my first order of business would be to change the name of my town to Horney, TX. Shit, that would still be my first order of business. I should've entered that contest.

Local news - literally - just reported that the street sign was stolen. Not only did the dipshits make a new sign and install it, but they also installed a security camera specifically to watch the sign.

Cut the kid some slack. There ain't shit in Forney! Only during September and October is there something interesting..... a huge haunted house. And... that's it.

Did she wish Elvis a happy birthday?

No, but she can recite the entire script from Pokémon: The Movie 2000.

At 11, I was embarrassed that I wasn't allowed to listen to any other music than rock n roll and classical music. I didn't know who New Kids on the Block were, or why when attending a sleep-over at a friend's house, every sheet/pillowcase/sleepingbag were covered in these men's faces. Now that I'm an old lady (26), it makes me happy to look back and know that I might have been a nerd, but everyone else was a complete fucking toolbag.

I still don't know who Justin Beiber is, and have never heard her music.

actually i think this is adorable. if i were her back in the day, you can bet there'd be a new kids on the block avenue.

May she be tortured for the rest of her school days for that.

I'm proud to say that at 11, I was a total music snob who wouldn't listen to any pop music. I knew it was bad and prepackaged, so I just didn't listen to any of it. So my first beloved band ended up being the Flaming Lips.

Dude. At that age, you don't have a favorite singer. You have a favorite singer that all other 11 year olds like. In other words... she liked him because her friends did. I don't even remember what I listened to at that age. I probably listened to a lot, but didn't idolize anyone or care about it that much.

**************************************

Exactly. I listened to New Kids on the Block. Not because they were great musicians, in fact I realize now that I'm old that their music was awful. I liked them because my friends did, and they liked them because The Machine pushed them onto pre-teen girls.

What an awful age. You're budding sexually while your male classmates still behave like 5-year-olds, hideous teen idols are forced onto you and your character is so weak that you're ripe for advertising exploitation.

I feel bad for this generation of girls. At least NKOTB had testosterone. Bieber is even worse than Donny Osmond.

------------------------------------------
No, the only patronizing thing was investing an 11 year old with authority she was ill equipped to handle & subjecting her to ridicule for it. The point (since you missed it) was the people in Forney shouldn't have had the stupid contest in the first place.

Everybody's ragging on the 11 year old, but it had to be the adults who decided on having a stupid "Mayor for a Day" contest which actually carried some actual authority. WTF did they expect? They're lucky she didn't sign an edict making all toys, CDs & candy free.

Lol, Cupcake

It`s safe here. Unless you`re talking 4th of July, when every drunk asshole decides to shoot their gun in the air to "celebrate", and the bullet comes through your bedroom ceiling, bounces of your vacuum-cleaner and gets stuck in your wall, while you sit on the computer.

Yes. That happened.
And then your landlord tries to charge you for fixing the roof.

And if her goal as mayor would have been to build a new animal shelter or soup kitchen we would have never been reading about her today.

She's 11. That kid Jesse Slaughter who told everyone on YouTube to get fucked and she was going to "pop a glock and make a brain slushee" was 11. I don't mind reading about kids being kids. Jesse's dad died I read this am, guess that's why I'm thinking of her. He also beat her up and she's in foster care all cleaned up. Probably likes Justin Bieber (ha, doubt that)

It would be funny if Justin Bieber Way was the most crime-ridden part of the city.

"Did you hear about that carjacking that turned into a deadly shoot-out?"

"No, Man! Where was it?"

"Justin Bieber Way."

My daughter, who just turned 12 yrs old, heard about this on TV and her reaction was "What a stupid girl! Why couldn't she name the street after a policeman or fireman who died on duty or a fallen soldier or some sort of hero or a victim of crime." LOL But then again she has complete disdain for Beiber and his "Beliebers" .........

rocklobster -- I want to smack her with the sign, too -- you are not alone, LOL!

I heard about this on the local news last night (I live in the viewing area) and all I could do is laugh. My dad just shook his head in utter disgust.

The funniest part about the story (to me) was that they were saying that they had to make sure all of the police knew about the change, because if they wrote someone a ticket and put the old street name on it then the city couldn't get the money because the info was wrong. Can you imagine being a cop and having to put "Justin Bieber Way" on a ticket? LMFAO

It's always an excellent idea with such amazing results when we let 11 year olds make such HUGE decisions by themselves.
