Banish Bieber fever forever

If you want tween-sensation Justin Bieber banished from your browser forever, help has arrived.
It appears almost everyone has had enough of the pint-sized ‘Baby’ singer. Not only has the perfectly-coiffed star dropped off Twitter’s trending topics; he can now be censored by internet users completely.
The application, dubbed 'Shaved Bieber', blocks out all unwanted mentions of the 16-year-old Canadian by scanning each web page then covering up his name or photos whenever they appear on your screen.
It works on every site, including Twitter, Google and Wikipedia. Web users can even view his personal homepage and watch as every mention of Bieber is blocked out.
The inventive Bieber-blocker is the brainchild of web designer Greg Leuch.
"We've developed a series of innovative tools to help cover the lower regions of web pages from unwanted Justin Bieber content," he wrote on the website. "Shave away those Bieber mentions on websites with our bookmarklet, Firefox Add-on or JavaScript files."
Bieber was discovered through YouTube, after his mother published his performances on the video-sharing site. After growing into an internet hit, he was signed to a major label.
But as web saturation hit boiling point, Bieber’s ubiquity became too much for older generations to handle – and a war was declared on the star.
In a society where the internet can break fame as easily as it can make it, Bieber is lucky his fan-base of hyperventilating young females will do whatever it takes to keep him relevant in the real world.

There will always be pop idols and teen stars and they come and go in 5-6 year waves (corresponding with the growing age of the fan). It's not like there wasn't millions of crappy acts before him and it's not like there won't be millions of stars like this after him. I learned to tune this crap out many years ago.
i have no idea what you're on about here...
