Justin Bieber Criticism and Parodies

Justin Bieber Info - Justin Bieber Criticism and Parodies. Justin Bieber has often been criticized for looking and sounding younger than his age, his teen-pop music, image, and frequent media attention. Justin Bieber has been a frequent target of Internet bloggers and message board posters—notably by users of Internet message board 4chan, users of YouTube, and various Facebook groups.

Pranks have included a successful campaign to push "Justin Bieber Syphilis" to the top of the Google Trends Hot Searches list; hacked YouTube videos that were altered to redirect users to adult websites or trigger pop-up messages saying that Bieber had been killed in a car accident; his Last.fm photograph being changed to pornographic images; various rumors circulated, including that Bieber had died, joined a cult, or even that his mother was offered $50,000 to pose topless in Playboy magazine—none of which were true.
All this forced the affected companies to update their security protocols to reverse the damage, and Bieber himself tweeted to fans reassuring them that he was still living and that false rumors about his mother "just grossed and weirded out".


Most notable was the campaign to send Bieber to North Korea as part of his world tour (entitled My World Tour). This was carried out by 4chan users voting for the country on the tour's website, for the free competition to nominate a bonus country for the tour—the second-placed country being Israel.


Universal Music Group has denied any involvement in a poll that became the target of an online prank. A spokesperson for UMG told BBC News that it was a "hoax" but declined to give any further comment. Nick Collins of The Daily Telegraph speculated that "Bieber's character also appears to strike a particularly sour note with his Internet critics, with many remarks commenting on his youthful appearance, his teen-pop songs, his image as a heart-throb to young teenage girls and his manner of speech".
