WBLI / Justin Bieber Promotion

[radioli]

Oh my god. I just saw the News 12 story about Justin Bieber's appearance at Roosevelt Field Mall. I heard WBLI ditched when the fire started to get hot. Probably didn't want to end up in jail like the poor record company executive. I heard BLI giving away tickets and promoting this event. Are they responsible as well??

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. – Police on Long Island had to shut down a mall appearance by teen pop singer Justin Bieber after thousands of young girls showed up, and got a little too wild.

BLI should have stuck around! Some potential for good radio there!

They were right in leaving, this way they wouldnt have brought more kids to the mall...


Potential for good radio?? At the expense of the safety of a bunch of kids?? ???

How do you expect 3000 tweens screaming in a mall when their behavior is out of control. If Justin was there, many teens would fight for an autograph. There was no peace inside that promotion.

They should have planned to add more patrol into this promotion. They should have known how big Justin Bieber is. It's not good for radio though in my book.
