Bieber, we’re looking at you for a scandal

-

Well, Biebermeis­ter, give it your best shot. And no, swatting away a reporter’s microphone like you did at Don Mueang airport won’t do, since all the fans took your side on Twitter. Give us a real scandal.

Lady Gaga stunned us all (read: no one) by tweeting about fake Rolexes on her visit last year. Rihanna has just made headlines for posing with a slow loris (the police caught up with the owners, allegedly) and telling the world that Phuket is kinda awful (we know) and that sex shows involving animals and razors are revolting (we’ve heard, a friend of a friend saw one once). Heck, even nice guy Neil Patrick Harris made a joke about Thai sisters and suggestive ping-pong noises while hosting the Emmys.

So what controvers­y will Justin Bieber get into during his brief stay in Bangkok? Whose sensibilit­ies will he offend by being the sort of person that people whose sensibilit­ies are easily offended are offended by? What will go down when he struts the stage at Impact Challenger tonight? The possibilit­ies, below, are intriguing.

Justin Bieber’s ‘‘Believe Tour’’ takes place tonight at Impact Challenger 3, Muang Thong Thani.
