Prank leaves Justin Bieber facing tour of North Korea

[deadpie]

Justin Bieber's tour 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 0600 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.

[scuba steve]

[Soccerkix]

[Perseus]

I learned about this yesterday because my friend decided to go 4Chan for some reason yesterday and he saw that. I busted out laughing once he told me.

[HillBillyWilly]

4chan....what would we do without them?

[Iron Man]

Well, if he does actually go through with it and goes and never leaves, people would forget in a week. OR, Bill Clinton would rescue him thinking it was an Asian girl.

[Magus]

Now, I am feeling sorry for this kid.

Worry not. His boyfriend is there with him, all the way.

[Dorsum Oppel]

I was proudly one of those people who assisted in sending justina to N. Korea. <3

There aren't any kids in North Korea. They don't grow up. They spawn in tanks. Haven't you seen The Matrix?

4chan....what would we do without them?

Hopefully he will be invited to North Korea by Kim Jong Il himself. I can see a massive worship of Justin Bieber, with Bieber's face everywhere alongside Kim Jong's :D

Yeah, no, you don't know how bad North Korea is. That won't happen.

But that's not Usher.

That's Japan you're thinking about. This is North Korea, one of the most oppressive countries in the world. If he does perform there, I'll be shitting a brick if he isn't surrounded by some 50 security guards.

[Awesome]

Lol, people want him dead

[Zephyr]

Honestly, I think this only proves how immature near 500,000 people can be.
You don't have to like somebodies music,
Sure, you can complain about it.
But voting to send them to a hostile country,
As a joke?
That's taking it way too far.

You say that as though he has no choice in the matter. It was his idea. He said, after all, there were no restrictions.

[DarkWingedAngel]

haha me too
I hope he goes there, then he might never come back and then we can :yeah::woot::woot::woot:
:groupwave::bigsmile::bounce:

have a BIG HUGE party. w00000000000000000t :woot::woot::woot:


ok im done spamming and bashing beiber

[CaptainObvious]

Yeah, no, you don't know how bad North Korea is. That won't happen.

None of this will happen. What's your point?

[Sage]

None of this will happen. What's your point?

What's to say it won't? Last I checked, North Korea had the most votes.

[deadpie]

Welcome to the internet.

[Perseus]

What's to say it won't? Last I checked, North Korea had the most votes.

The website wasn't ran by Justin Bieber. It was fan made. That's what MSNBC video on Xbox LIVE told me. Lol.

[CaptainObvious]

Common sense.

[JaGo]

Common sense.

Funny that this is difficult to grasp for a lot of people.

[Sage]

The website wasn't ran by Justin Bieber. It was fan made.

Oh, fair enough then. I stand corrected. I thought it was officially run by Bieber himself.

Deschain has been beaten at his own witty game :eek::eek::eek: even though he simply misunderstood who the site belonged to i still count it :D

[Sage]

It's not a witty game. I believed something to be true, I was presented evidence to the contrary, and I've reconsidered my stance. Admitting you are wrong is part of intellectual honesty. If this is fan made, then I sincerely doubt it will happen. If it does, I'd have to have some respect for Bieber.

[solid-snake]

plese korea take this kid off of canadians hand so we can wash the blood of teen pop sinsations off of our hands

[walpoler93]

bieber fever!! lol, that poor boy!

[Insanity Fair]

This I'd love to see.

[Sugaree]

I got an idea: Let's have his producers have a song written about Kim Jong Ill and he can sing it to him.

[Amnesiac]

Anonymous strikes again, I see... they did something to Justin Bieber's Last.fm page a few weeks ago I think.

I can only imagine what that concert would be like...
