Trolls Fool Justin Bieber Fans With Cancer Scare, #BaldForBieber

  Sneaky, sneaky trolls have been at it again. 4Chan users were the culprits behind a recent prank on not just Bieber, but also Beliebers the world over.
  
  After posting tweets confirming that Bieber had in fact been diagnosed with cancer, the trolls then began to advocate the hashtag #BaldForBieber in an attempt to convince his loyal followers to shave their head in support of the buzzworthy Prince of Pop, resulting apparently in a whole heap of fans shaving their heads for no reason whatsoever.
  
  The hashtag was trending for a while, but it soon faded once people discovered the rouse. Credibility was lent to the rumour after the initial tweet came from ET Online’s official Twitter page, and a tweet from Bieb’s Twitter backed it up. Both have since been removed.
  
  We’ve managed to track down a few of the pictures posted to the interwebs to support Biebs, as well as a stack of tweets referring to the prank.
  
  There’s even a website set up for it, if you’re feeling adventurous.

  :lol:
  
  The one time I fully support trolls :thumb:
  
  Fuck ya! :point:
  
  Sorry, never did like Bieber.
  
  Btw, I don't care about my hair so I'd gladly shave my head bald for no reason. Heck, most of the time I cut my hair, I'm practically bald.
  
  My apologies to Bieber fans on here like Brad :(

  I don't find making people do stupid things because of a very real fear of someone dying very funny. If I knew them, I'd smack them pretty hard. Or at least I would wish to do so, which is not a big difference compared to now I guess.

  And it's pretty damn funny, too.

  I don't find cancer to be a joking matter at all so to me this joke is pretty asshole-ish. You can argue that people were stupid to do it but they genuinely thought it was for a good cause to show their support toward someone they appreciate. Whatever float people boat I guess tho I don't find this funny in the slightest.

  Don't see how that relates to my point.
