    They molest polls for great justice =p

    4Chans's creator was named as the 'Most Influential Person in the World' last year by Time magazine because of the amount of people that voted for him on an online poll


    The actual manuipulation of that poll was one of the smartest pranks done via the internet as a medium. Not only did they get Moot to number 1, they also manipulated via scripting the voting for the top 10 so that the first letters of the names spelt out "Marblecake", which is an irc planning room for alot of these pranks.

    They still invited him along to the Gala and named him as one of the most influential people even after they found out the poll was being screwed with... and he brought his mam! :D

    Didn't something similar happen with the Spice Girls' comeback when everyone voted for them to play Bagdad or somewhere?

    IIRC they just announced that the winning vote was for Canada, so we may not be shut of Bieber just yet.

    Bieber wouldn't be under any threat if he went to North Korea.

    They really should have tried to send him to Zimbabwe, I'm sure Uncle Robbie would be well impressed!

    I love 4chan cause they troll real life pretty good sometimes. I put in a few votes myself there a while back for pedobear to be the new face of a columbian milk bottle company.
    Think it was Columbian anyway..

    TBH I think most of 4chan are just jealous of someone rich and famous.

    They are pathetic.
    Don't worry, I'm sure he'll still be able to fit Ireland into his schedule somewhere.

    I think Antartica would have been funnier tbh. It's got 19000 votes though.

    "Let's take some time to answer some crazy (rumours)... I'm not dead," Bieber wrote in just one of his Twitter postings.

    At 16 he should really know how to use brackets.

    Yeah, the same thing did happen to the good oul' Spice Girls but as far as I remember, they just ignored it and went somewhere else! :D

    Not his writing, I'd imagine. Bieber's American and would probably use the Americanised spelling: "rumor."

    'Americanized' might work better in this context.

    He should actually apply to do a concert in North Korea. He'd go from annoying little asshole to all round legend overnight if he did.

    Woohoo! The thing I did made the Internet thing happen.

    Voting, that is, I'm not the mastermind behind this.
