Canadian DJ and producer, Deadmau5, has spoken about his recent snub of an MTV European Music Awards nomination.
Joel Thomas Zimmerman (Deadmau5), was nominated for Best Canadian Act in the upcoming awards ceremony, set to take place in Amsterdam next month. Zimmerman, was quick to distance himself from the awards through a string of Tweets and has now spoken in depth to The Samaritans about his decision.
“It was great to finally get a lot of things off my chest,” proclaimed a relieved Deadmau5. “It was like, for the first time ever, someone actually cared about what I had to say. I always thought The Samaritans were just for battered wives and dudes with loads of debt but they’ll listen to anyone, even me,” he said happily.
Mark DeLuca, a phone operator for The Smaratins, in Canada, spoke of the recent conversation, “We usually try and keep our lines clear for people who have real problems but we also have a policy that we’ll never cut people off unless they’re being abusive or making a prank call so I was stuck on the phone to this Dead Mouse guy for nearly three hours,” explained the good Samaritan.
“The guy clearly has a lot of issues and pent up aggression. Usually when we come across cases like this, it turns out to be ‘mammy’ or ‘daddy’ issues but in this case, for the first time ever, it’s Beiber issues,” he commented. “He’s clearly intimidated by Justin Beiber and although he puts on a tough persona, being so intimidated by a teenage boy, who he sees as a bit of an idiot, is having a detrimental effect on his ego,” continued Mr. DeLuca.
“I think the most significant thing about him snubbing the award nomination was that it was for Best Canadian Act and Justin Bieber was also nominated. He doesn’t want to be beaten by Bieber so he’s distancing himself from anything Beiber related, even his nationality, it’s a classic defensive move,” explained the volunteer.
“I think we made some really good progress over the course of the conversation and, after a good cry, I really hope that Mr. Mouse can get on with his life and forget about Justin Beiber, otherwise we may have to block his number,” admitted Mr. DeLuca.
