Framed

Justin Bieber & Rascal Flatts, Framed

So there we were, trying to decide on this week's video, when the phone rang.

"Hello," we said. "This is Framed, 'The blog that has no catchphrase.'"

"Framed!" said the voice on the line. "Jesus, I'm glad I didn't get Robert again. Who is that guy?"

"Who is this? Is that you, Bob-O?"

"Hey, hey, it's Justin!"

"Justin?" Oh, Jesus. "Bieber, is that you?"

"Yeah! Dude! You don't sound very happy to hear from me."

"Lissen, Justin, we're pretty busy over here right now. Big things are going on. Can we talk later on?"

"Just gimme a minute. You gotta use my new video this week."

"You got a new video? Another one? You're kidding, right?"

"Dude, I just did a great new video with Rascal Flatts."

"Lord, just kill us now, please."

"What's that? I missed that."

"Nothing. We were talking to God."

"Oh. Anyway, it's really great. You gotta help me out, man. My career has really taken off since you started writing all those funny captions for my videos. My fans love 'em! You wouldn't believe it!"

"Well, glad to help, kid."

"And--dig it!--I've got my new haircut in the video!"

"So you're saying it's newsworthy?"

"Oh, yeah. This is win-win, guaranteed. Whaddaya say?"

"Rascal Flatts? Rascal Flatts?"

"Yeah! Cool, huh?"

"Rascal Flatts?"

1 - "The total hacks room? Right down that hall."

2 - "The Jonas Brothers? In my studio? Unthinkable!"

3 - Just then, the talent-sensing guitar made its getaway!

4 - "Don't write that down. I actually like girls!"

5 - "She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes!" "When she comes!"

6 - "So that's two Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese, two large fries, and one peanut butter and jelly with the crust cut off?"

7 - Somewhere, somehow, the Cute Teen Idols Tour has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

8 - "And over there's where I killed my first man."

9 - "Screw the caption we rehearsed! LeBron is totally carrying the ball."

10 - "'Ant Jesus!' Dude! Get a room!"

11 - "Don't drink, kids! Get it?"

12 - "So the inky dinky spider went up the spout again? Seriously??"
