NEVER SAY NEVER

NJ Boy Wants To Ask Justin Bieber To His Junior Prom—Just As A Friend, Natch

It’s fashionable for people to utilize YouTube to ask celebrities to formal dances—servicemembers recently landed dates with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis that way. Now 16-year-old New Jersey student Leon Purvis is taking to the Web to ask Justin Bieber to his junior prom next year.Don’t mistake it for some gay thing, though. As Purvis clearly states, its’ just a bromance thing. “Justin Bieber, would you like to come to my prom with me? But not as a date—just as a friend, as a brother,” he asks in the clip above.

“The idea came to me when I was at pre-prom last year to see my sister off, and I was talking to a kid that was going,” Purvis, who attends Glassboro High School, tells the Glousester County Times. “At the time I was thinking about what girl I wanted to ask, and he said, ‘Who are you going to ask? Justin Bieber?’ I thought it was a good idea because I admire him and all he’s accomplished for being so young. I’ve been a fan ever since his YouTube days.”

The hope is the video will become a trending topic on Twitter—if enough users tweet #GuyAsksJustinBieberToPromOnYouTube on Trending Day, December 27, it could garner enough attention to reach Bieber or his people.

Purvis’ family, teachers and classmates all seem quite supportive of his endeavor. Even if Purvis doesn’t identify as gay, its refreshing to see a community go ballistic when a kid wants to take someone of the same sex to prom.

We think Bieber should totally do it—at least he won’t be accused of getting anyone pregnant, right?

Justin Bieber, would you let me give you a handjob after prom? But not as a date—just as a friend, as a brother.

@MEJ: Yeah, my bullshit meter is off the scales with this annoying kid. But then again, I’m not gay. I just like to sleep with men. You know… as friends. Kinda like brothers.

BTW, this kid will likely end up one of those “internet sensations” and go on to win some Idol-like b.s., then get a record deal or t.v. spot. Ahh… the American dream is alive.

I don’t think he’s forcing you to watch.

Interesting! Wow!What if I can invite a singer to my birthday and celebrate. It is a good idea. But,the reality how much does it cost to sing in the birthday celebration at my home. Anyway. I guess it might cost like 1,000 dollars. He is a very intelligent guy.

@What?: A child? He’s a high school junior. Probably 17. Call him a young man, a teenager, a young adult, but not a child. (I myself would simply call him a grown-ass man.)

Why is this a story? Plenty of people on youtube ask celebrities out all the time. Cute kid though. Maybe Justin will accept.

A young man in a Hollister shirt asks Justin Bieber out on a date. Yeah, I don’t think he’s straight.

@What?: 1. I’m not mad at him. 2. I find him (his behavior) annoying. 3. I wasn’t aware that one needs to be “forced to watch” something in order to form an opinion.

Maybe the girl is going to say “no” when you ask her to the prom because you are posting a video asking Justin out on youtube. What girl would go out with a guy who is more interested in taking the time to ask Bieber out?

He says the word jerk a bit too much not to be gay.

I went to Glassboro High School :) I saw this a while back when he first posted it but I didn’t know until this week that he was from my town! Kinda surreal to be reading Glassboro on here.

Any guy who wears Abercrombie or Hollister is suspect. Especially guys in their 40s.

@Kim: yeah I picked up on that too… can we jerk together?… I am going to give the guy a pass and say it is a dance that I am too old to know about. Anyway the kid is sort of cute, and will grow into a hot guy one day. I just hope whether he is gay or not that he doesn’t get bullied for this. The kid has big balls to do this.

You can say never. This is a boy fan not a girl fan. Despite the fact that male pop stars have tons of boy fans as well, they aren’t to be spoken of.
