Well, its just like the Miley Cyrus #1 fan contest. Where Pedobear was always #1, but they kept deleting him. Then someone would make another Pedobear account and people start pushing that to the top. And then it would get taken down again.

Yeah, no. So what's the point of even trolling this poll? Waste of time.

it'd actually be cool of him if he did try to arrange a show in NK though

i don't know why israels up there unless its just israelis voting; a lot of stars perform there its just like any other place; if its 4chan they should try to get palestine voted in there (most likely not an option)

Technology reporter, BBC News
It is highly unlikely Bieber would be given permission to enter North Korea
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.

Given the fact that almost all citizens of North Korea are denied internet access and there are restrictive controls over all media, it is unlikely that any of the votes have actually come from within the country.

A spokesman for the North Korean Embassy in London told BBC News that any application for 16-year-old Bieber to tour would be dealt with by its mission to the United Nations, although the matter would be referred to Pyongyang.

Hate campaign
Justin Bieber has been target of a number of internet pranks in recent weeks.

Last month, a post on 4Chan urged users to all search for the term "Justin Bieber Syphilis" pushing it to the top of Google Trend's Hot Searches list.

It is not known if Kim Jong-il is a fan of Justin Bieber's music
And over the weekend, Justin Bieber videos on YouTube were the target for internet hackers, redirecting users to adult websites or triggering pop-up messages saying that the Canadian singer had died in a car crash.

Google temporarily suspended commenting on videos and issued a statement saying: "We took swift action to fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability." The vulnerability hole was patched a few hours later.

His Last FM page was also hit, with photos of the singer replaced by pornographic images.

There have also been false rumours circulating that Bieber had died, that he had joined a cult, and that his mother was offered $50,000 to pose topless in Playboy magazine.

"Let's take some time to answer some crazy (rumours)... I'm not dead," Bieber wrote in just one of his Twitter postings.

And last week he posted that "My mum is a moral woman... let's just leave that one for what it is... because that rumour just grossed and weirded me out."

Someone should sue him for False Advertising or something stupid if he cancels the event.
I don't know if it would work or not.. but it would be the funniest thing if it did.

Record label brands Justin Bieber tour vote "a hoax"


UMG Logo Universal deny any link between themselves and the tour vote

Universal Music Group (UMG) has denied any involvement in a poll that became the target of an online prank.

A website that asked people where the Canadian singer Justin Bieber should tour next finally received 650,000 votes to send him to North Korea.

A spokesperson for UMG told BBC News that it was a "hoax" but declined to give any further comment.

The poll was promoted by members of the imageboard website 4chan, urging their users to vote for North Korea.

The joke eventually turned viral, spreading onto Facebook and Twitter, with tens of thousands of people casting their vote on the site.

4chan has a long history of pulling off internet pranks and stunts.

In early July, Justin Bieber videos on YouTube were the target for internet hackers, redirecting users to adult websites or triggering pop-up messages saying that the Canadian singer had died in a car crash.

Google temporarily suspended commenting on videos and issued a statement saying: "We took swift action to fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability."

The vulnerability hole was patched a few hours later.

Justin Bieber was signed to Island Records, part of the Universal Music Group, after his performances were posted on You Tube.
