In what has to be one of the funniest and most entertaining things I've heard all week -- Justin Bieber got scolded by a mom on airplane who wasn't exactly pleased with his foul choice of language in flight. Apparently he was goofing around with some of his "entourage" on a 12-hour flight on Air New Zealand, and they started yelling out some pretty choice "four-letter words." (OMG. The Biebs has a potty mouth.)
Instead of simply tolerating his ridiculous behavior because he's one of the biggest pop stars in the world, this mom of two marched right up to him and told him: "Stop yelling curse words and using that kind of language on a plane. It's not appropriate."
Woo-hoo! Bravo, lady! Please tell me I'm not the only parent who 100 percent commends her for having the balls to tell off the Biebs! I can only hope I'd do the exact same thing if I was in her position, because as the mom of a 6-year-old boy who soaks up everything he hears like a sponge, I get absolutely irate when there are a bunch of rowdy teens around us swearing like sailors.
There have been so many times when I've been out to eat or out shopping with my son and heard a random 16-year-old drop an f-bomb without any ounce of regard for the little ears that are listening nearby. And I have to admit, I've hesitated to speak up in the past because I feel like it's really not my place to discipline other people's kids. I usually just get my son away from the teens in question as quickly as possible and pray to God that he doesn't repeat what they said at a later date.
But after hearing that this mom had the guts to call out Justin Bieber? There's no way I'm keeping my mouth shut anymore. There's a time and a place for everything, and spewing foul language in public is just totally unacceptable. (Watch out teenagers -- I'm listening.)
What would you have done in this mom's situation?

I wish I could talk to the person that was anti censorship, but she has her fb settings to block messages. IF anyone cusses infront of my children I will talk to them. Free speech does not mean you can say whatever you want with out an effect. You can not just go about using those type of words. Have some respect for others and their ways. If you want to cuss at home fine by me just don't subject my kids to it.
mylilprincesses, maybe YOU let your kids watch more horrible things on tv than hearing foul language, but I can assure not everyone does. I certainly don't and neither do any of the parents who have kids that my daughter plays with. Some of us actually spend our time parenting instead of giving in to whatever they want.
People curse. It's fact of life. It's our job as parents to teach our children what is okay and what is not okay to do/say according to our own moral code. Being a parent doesn't entitle us to control what strangers say in public places. (this includes planes)
Good for her. Does he ever have any adults around him to teach him? People sound so uneducated and trashy when they curse like that. And grow up if you cant even have a conversation or post without cursing. You sound getto.
This is dumb. The day someone can give me a legitimate reason those words are bad to begin with is the day I will give a shit who has a problem with them.
I'm with MaximumAsh on this one.
I have 4 kids, my eldest are 20 and 18, and if I ever heard them using bad language in public you can bet your backside that I would be the first one to call them on it. Ms Burgess obviously has a chip on her shoulder. It's not big, it's not clever, it IS about having a bit of respect for those around you.
