Prank leaves Justin Bieber facing tour of North Korea

[quote]Justin Bieber's Twitter page has become the target of an internet joke.
A public vote on the Canadian singer's My World Tour page asked users which country he should tour next, with no restrictions on the nations that could be voted on.
This spurred users of imageboard website 4Chan to nominate North Korea, with the vote now turning viral.
There are now almost half a million votes to send Bieber to the secretive communist nation.
The contest, which ends at 1800 on 7 July, saw North Korea move from 24th to 1st place in less than two days, several thousand votes ahead of Israel.
Given the fact that almost all citizens of North Korea are denied internet access and there are restrictive controls over all media, it is unlikely that any of the votes have actually come from within the country.
A spokesman for the North Korean Embassy in London told BBC News that any application for 16-year-old Bieber to tour would be dealt with by its mission to the United Nations, although the matter would be referred to Pyongyang.
Justin Bieber has been target of a number of internet pranks in recent weeks.
Last month, a post on 4Chan urged users to all search for the term "Justin Bieber Syphilis" pushing it to the top of Google Trend's Hot Searches list.
And over the weekend, Justin Bieber videos on YouTube were the target for internet hackers, redirecting users to adult websites or triggering pop-up messages saying that the Canadian singer had died in a car crash.
Google temporarily suspended commenting on videos and issued a statement saying: "We took swift action to fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability." The vulnerability hole was patched a few hours later.
His Last FM page was also hit, with photos of the singer replaced by pornographic images.
There have also been false rumours circulating that Bieber had died, that he had joined a cult, and that his mother was offered $50,000 to pose topless in Playboy magazine.
"Let's take some time to answer some crazy (rumours)... I'm not dead," Bieber wrote in just one of his Twitter postings.
And last week he posted that "My mum is a moral woman... let's just leave that one for what it is... because that rumour just grossed and weirded me out."[/quote]

Hah.
Hot damn it actually worked
BBC Radio 1 just reported on this, it's hilarious to know I'm one of those 'North Korean' people.
And now he's going to completely ignore the poll.
They can't send them there, people will be like
"Who bieber?" We should of voted for Antarctica [b]BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO COUNTERTUNES[/b]
Though a lot more people requested it

Antarctica is worse, Justin's not going to on tour to fucking Antarctica, he would lose millions upon millions of dollars because approximately 1,000 people would be there to hear it and only 142 would sign up because they're all scientists with better things to do

Even the brainwashed population of NK is a slightly less foreboding enterprise
Actually, fan girls would follow him to Antarctica, then it gets a bigger population.
If NK detains him, we'll actually have a reason to support them.

But him and all the fangirls will freeze to de - actually, this might not be a bad idea...
NK will probably treat him very well since they like to pretend that they're wealthy and prosperous. They'll probably send people off to labor camps if they don't go to his concert.
Long live 4chan and its hatred of Justin Bieber
Haah I didn't think this would work.
When Justin returns, he'll probably be brainwashed and add propaganda to his songs.

Well done, internet :golfclap:
I wonder what he feels like knowing that everyone underneath the surface of the internet (composed of computer illiterate adults and kids that only know about google and youtube) pretty much universally hates him.
Must be kind of depressing, like a dentist knowing kids all over the world hate him.

I heard Kimmy Jong was one of Biebers biggest fans.
Does North Korea scare anyone else? Just thinking about it is serious nightmare fuel for me. :tinfoil:
