Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber has been slapped with a lifetime ban from Funland, Southport’s largest amusement arcade following what staff have described as a “deeply troubling incident” at the 2p falls.
We are unable to print certain details for legal reasons, but sources confirm the individual involved is a well-known international pop star with a history of erratic behaviour. According to eyewitnesses, Bieber arrived at the arcade last Saturday flanked by six security guards, and an entourage of assorted hangers-on.
Kelly Rimmer, a customer service assistant at Funland (who did not wish to be named), told us:
“My manager had asked me to keep an eye on Bieber, as he has a reputation for being a bit of a lad,” She explained. “Everything seemed ok at first, but then I noticed Bieber’s minders form a circle around the 2p falls machine he was playing on. Then the alarm went off and I could see the top of the machine was shaking.”
“That’s when I called my manager over and he banned him there and then,” Rimmer continued. “We have to put up with a lot of bad behaviour working here. But it doesn’t matter how many No.1’s you have, or how many teenage girls follow you around screaming – no one get’s away with nudging the 2p falls.”
Ed: It is refreshing seeing famous people being treated the same as the rest of us. Should Bieber’s legal team fail to overturn the ban, he’ll have to settle for inferior entertainments the next time he visits the North-West, like Blackpool.
