I mean, seriously. The dude has his own "Action Figures", he has four year old children singing his songs.... And he now has his own trading cards Seriously, I work in retail, I have to stare at this guys smug mug alot depending on which department I work now

How much longer do you guys think this will last?

Kill him. It is the only solution. You may get a few months of death memorabilia, but after that he will be done.

Until they add him to the "List of Live's Ons" With Jackson and Presley....

I find your lack of faith disturbing... just do it. Do it now! If not, just wait until his voice breaks and he gets acne...

At the rate he's going, it will be a few more years, months possibly, before someone new takes his place and he is forgotten. The more you ignore him, as hard as that is, the faster the process will go.

So silence yourself!

I had the fortune not to have heard his music until a few weeks ago when I watched a group presentation on 'Justin Beiber's use of the internet as a means of engaging with his fanbase' at Uni.

He's not actually all that bad. I mean, it's crappy disposable pop, but the kid undoubtedly has natural talent. That said, I won't be purchasing his albums any time soon..

To put it bluntly and honestly, Alby is right.

Alby is right, but seriously.... TRADING CARDS!?!

That's just a little too far, don't you think?

I thought all of his gak was autotuned.

He has a movie coming out. They always preview it was kids movies now.

Hang Him.

Pffft just ignore it. I don't think I'd even recognise his face if I saw it.

Pretty much this.
Like most "assembled" performers,I don't foresee any staying power...look for him on celebrity rehab or "Dear lord I'm a big fat has been" in the next decade of so.

Yeah, I'd suggest that you have a couple of attempts at killing the guy, but don't try too hard.
Once his voice breaks it's all downhill...

Death by Killer Bees.
The mob has spoken!

There is a strong hint of jealousy in there methinks. Awwwww whatsthematter [big hugs] do you want an action doll?

Attach your pic and we can have a comp to see who can convert some IG with your face on them. You won't feel left out then.

Death by Wiener Dogs , make it Public. The Screaming Girl death rate would rise.

At first the OP seemed pointless, yet another tirade against a flash in the pan uber weeny bopper.

But it was the retail that got me..
Man! I feel your pain! There should at least be some form of remuneration to compensate for the suffering.
The good news is it won't last long.
The bad news is there are equally bad/even worst acts waiting to fill the void.
I am lucky and not subjected to such tosh, and would hate to be in your shoes!!
Have had similar torture in the past.

You have my deepest sympathies

Guys? Remember Fred?

No? Exactly. Thats what will happen to Bieber. Lets just hope the next big fad won't be that bad.

I like Fred Astaire
class act!

I can think of a lot of things worth getting outraged at in the world. That a specific, individual pop culture icon is getting more "merch" is not one of them.

Why hasn't this been posted yet?! It clearly is the only solution...

Better than hanna montana. Funny how people complain now.

I would LOVE to be Justin Beiber. Think on it for a while.

Ive just read the Critisim section of the Wiki artical of Justen Beiber and Ill share with you its greatness.
Bieber has often been criticized for looking and sounding younger than his age and his effeminacy, teen pop music, image, and frequent media attention. He has been a frequent target for 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 so as 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, from rumors 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.This all 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 [him] 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 in part by 4chan, digg, and reddit 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, which presumably was voted for by Israelis genuinely wishing to attend the concert.It is highly unlikely that Bieber would actually have been given permission by the North Korean government, or concert organizers and management, to enter the country.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".


LOL LOL LOL

This is pure comedy gold.


In defense of THE BEIBER, Usher knows how to sing....if he endorses the kid there is probably validity to it.

He can sing, but can he teach?

You sure it's not just because you could tolerate a hot teen girl more then a teen boy? Despite one having vastly more exposure for far longer with multiple television shows and movies then the other?

Did somebody say BEES?


But seriously, don't listen to Sirius Hits 1 (or any other music/pop related radio channel), and his existence is but an already forgotten thing of the past.
