Hey Bieber Fans! Did You Cut Off All Your Hair? Suckers.

Alan Cross 1 Comment

In a perfect example of “don’t believe everything you read on the Internet,” a bunch of Bieber fans (the exact number is unknown) shaved their heads in solidarity over the Bieb’s touch of cancer.  

Well, guess what?  He’s fine.  It was a hoax.  And now lots of little girls look a lot more like Michael Chiklis.

The story goes like this.  Entertainment Weekly allegedly put out a tweet that read as follows:  “Pop Star Justin Bieber was diagnosed with cancer earlier this morning. Bieber fans are shaving their heads to show their support.”

The tweet came with a couple of pictures (via Biebs himself, allegedly) showing a couple of dans who had already cut off their hair in support.

But it was a joke.  There was no tweet from ET.  The people at 4chan were having fun with Photoshop.

 It’s going to be awkward for these girls at school on Monday, innit?

  • It might just be a double hoax – there's very little evidence anyone actually shaved their heads, aside from the same two pictures being circulated everywhere (which are from a radio contest to win Bieber tickets from a couple years ago)
