Yes. It’s the Biebs. On Duck Tape. Now we can all be Beliebers.
Just trying to picture Justin Bieber’s face holding together my binders, my favorite lawn chair, and my ’92 Ford.

Bieber Duck Tape? Sign me UP!
LOL. Now there’s a great attitude. 🙂
But wait… I notice there is Hello Kitty tape as well… Oh, the indecision! What should I do? What should I do?
I’m holding out for the Hugh Jackman Duck Tape, myself.
I just realized Bieber is a boy, so that made a few things make more sense. But still? I’m mostly baffled by her.
LOL. I’m wondering if (s)he will be the next Michael Jackson. Suppose he’ll start hitting tanning booths and get plastic surgery? I think he has a bid in for the bones of the Elephant Man, too. . . . Actually, from the interviews I’ve seen with him, he seems like a nice young man. But Duck Tape?
Thanks for the shout-out! I’m guessing no one would buy Mona Lisa duct tape. Well, I would, but…
Great idea. They could sell it in museum gift shops. 🙂
Without duct tape, what is life? To be honest, I’d opt for Hello Kitty … even though that little Biebs is a fellow Canuck.
And, yes, I did laugh out loud at the video. Thanks!
Seriously. Back when cars had radiators, I couldn’t have gotten five miles without it. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
If my granddaughters used duct tape, I’d get the Biebs duct tape for them, but since they are distinctly unhandy, I’ll pass.
They might enjoy it for hanging up posters. 🙂
Thanks for the shoutout Piper.
I liked the Roling stone article. It’s a shame that a music publication is exposing this scandal, while mainstream newspapers look the other way.
If you haven’t already, I also recommend the documentary “The Inside Job.” The doc shows how the same people first loosened the laws, then made a ton of money, and then came in as “experts” to fix the problems they themselves had created.
And finally, belly dancing should be left to those who:
a. Can actually dance
b. Have slightly more free space than a toilet in their house. 🙂
Thanks for the recommendation, Shantnu. I’ll check it out. I agree with you that it’s a shame on mainstream newspapers that they are avoiding this and so many other relevant topics. The media has become a sham. Perhaps it has always been one and I’m just old enough to understand that now.
As for the dancing, looks like she could use some duck tape to fix that curtain rod. 🙂
I love how the boy is like “I will get a lot of orders for these duck tape rolls” and “they run at the price of $5.99” which he seems to think is a little steep. Haha. And how he goes over the products features like Bieber’s different looks, a businessman in the making. So cute/funny. Thanks Piper!
I got a kick out of that, too. Glad you enjoyed it, Nicole. 🙂
Thanks for the great links
(but ducking out on that Bieber tape…notice local Target has a huge selection of ducktape…who would have thought?)
I certainly had no idea. Glad you enjoyed it, Phil. 🙂
I don’t know which parts of your blog to comment on first!
No. We do not need Bieber duct tape. Kristen’s post is awesome. I am beyond thrilled for August and her debut book. It is purchased and nestled in my kindle. And that belly dancer should have known better! That was a really unsafe space to be twirling in.
Actually, a balanced dancer can get away with it. There are accidents, though. I once took out a light fixture during a spin. Low ceiling. Oops. 🙂
Admits in a small voice that she comes from the town where Duck Tape, including the Justin Bieber variety, is made. Believe it or not, Manco sponsors a whole festival around the stuff, every Father’s Day weekend. (No, I’ve never been.) Have a great weekend!
Admits in a small voice that a Duck Tape festival sounds like fun. 🙂
Bieber duct tape? No thanks. HE is a sign of the approaching apocalypse. A novel idea, an AntiChrist that tries to sing and has a mindless/ devoted (choose one) following.
I’ve heard stranger notions of the Apocalypse. 🙂
I might get clobbered if that duct tape found its way into my house. LOL. The belly dancer was doomed when she couldn’t start the music until the third attempt. I expected her to knock all the piles of stuff off that desk, but she had a priceless ending. I think I’m even more amazed that she posted the video!
I think she actually does comedy. I’m not sure she didn’t do that on purpose. Glad you liked it. 🙂
LOL! I hate to tell you this but Justin Bieber duck tape is a staple in our house. Well, along with pink, red, green and a mustache covered one. It’s very useful, if for nothing else than propping up my ipad while I watch netflix 🙂
Cheers!
Nigel, it is a true man who can admit to this. *salute*
PS I voted for the basement option even though we don’t have a basement. With enough duck tape they stop wriggling after a while and then you can store them in the garage.
I love how logical engineers can be. 🙂
Love the belly dancing video, Piper! As a mom, watching somebody twirling around in a confined room feels like watching a train wreck unfold. My kids were all twirlers when they were little. #BeenThereHaveTheT-Shirt. Thanks for the grins!
Glad you enjoyed it, Kathy. 🙂
O.M.G.! Biebertape! And immediately useful to put the belly dancer’s curtain back up..
I should add that here in NZ duct tape is the complete replacement for No. 8 grade fencing wire, which is what we previously used to Fix Everything and Invent Stuff On The Farm (such as aircraft). I don’t think we have Bieber pattern though…:-)
When I was a kid on the farm, everyone had a role of bailing wire (also used for fencing) a bale of hay and a dog in the back of their pickups. They still have those. Now, they’ve added duck tape. 🙂
