Justin Bieber's Twitter page has become the target of an internet joke.
A public vote on the Canadian singer's My World Tour page asked users which country he should tour next, with no restrictions on the nations that could be voted on.
This spurred users of imageboard website 4Chan to nominate North Korea, with the vote now turning viral.
There are now almost half a million votes to send Bieber to the secretive communist nation.
The contest, which ends at 1800 on 7 July, saw North Korea move from 24th to 1st place in less than two days, several thousand votes ahead of Israel.
It is not known if Kim Jong-il is a fan of Justin Bieber's music

They should of voted to send him to 1991 Socialist Yugoslavia. Maybe that'd finally put some hair's on the boy's chest.

This is brilliant.
Reckon they should have sent him to 1950's Russia and have him sent down a Uranium Mine.

Its a shame a country such as Myanmar wasn't voted higher. Hopefully he gets sent to a country with a less then bad track record and we never hear from him again.

ya, pretty funny stuff when you look at all the top ten voted so far...
as if his record company will actually send him there, or if they would actually allow him to do a tour there...
right...

if i was kim jong il i would just put him at number 1 over there. everyone would instantly love him, and the whole country would attend the concert and love me. and it gives you the oppurtunity to pretend that you arent a tnuc.

no fucking way they'll let him and no way he'd actually do it. can't see n.korea going for the whole corporate american pop music thing. would be good if it did though...

Maybe if Kim Jong Il gets to talks to a westerner the same height as him he might have a better opinion of us. I'm all for it.

who knows, he'll probably think he's a lady, fall in love ( ) and wisk him away to his floating castle or whatever and then we won't have to be bothered by songs that have "baby, baby, baby OHHHH" as a CHORUS anymore... at least until the next youtube brat is unearthed
