Justin Bieber World Tour: North Korea Wins!

[citizen snips]

The “vote-for-where-Justin-Bieber-will-go-on-his-world-tour” contest has just expired, and to nobody’s surprise (except maybe Bieber himself), North Korea has topped the chart — ahead many thousands of votes from the runner-up, Israel.

This all began days ago, when trolls decided to take over the voting system that decided where Bieber would perform, sending the Canadian pop star to an undesirable country, to say the least. The most tragic part: I don’t think anyone in North Korea knows who this kid is.

At any rate, it’s unclear as to what happens from here. Will Bieber’s management team acquiesce and sent him to Kim Jong Il land, or will they claim “unfair voting”? We’re soon to find out, but in the mean time, let this voting signal the power of networks such as 4Chan, Reddit, and so forth.

2. Nothing unfair about it

I was one of the ones who voted for North Korea. I voted only once, and followed the rules. When enough people do that, you have a winner.
