  1. So to my dismay, I look down at the currently trending worldwide topics, and see this...
  2.  
  3. ""Justin Notice Lebanese Beliebers""
  4.  
  5. Yep. That's right, a shoutout, no, a demand for teen pop superstar to visit what can objectively be viewed as an obscure and small middle eastern nation, put on a few radars, only by the virtue of humus and confrontation with Israel.
  6.  
  7. Let me throw some stats at "yo ass". Lebanon has as many as 950000 internet users. Of course, not all of these people will have twitter. Infact, in America, around 18% of the adult population has twitter. I think it reasonable to assume that this figure would be less in Lebanon, but let's take the USA as a rule of thumb. If 18% of all Lebanese internet users owned twitter accounts, and all deciding that the most pressing issue for this developing state was a tour by the aforementioned teen pop sensation, then this would amount to around  171,000 tweets. Now I am aware that this would not take into account multiple tweets, re-tweets and twitter conversations, but this would be a reasonable estimate. In real life of course, to gain a worldwide trend, millions of tweets are required, which of course means that some people from outside of Lebanon are of course tweeting this.

  9. Why? What conceivable reason is there to attempt to convince an icon for the corporate led music industry to perform in a country that still considers homosexuality a crime. It just shows to illustrate the drone like, group think mentality of the Beliebers. And yes whilst other 'fan' groups are guilty of this, the Beliebers are easily the best example of this. Infact, whilst I have been writing this, the trend has shot up from #8 to #4. Millions more tweets. And infact, if you look at many of them, they simply contain the tag line "Justin Notice Lebanese Beliebers". This activity is conducted is such a manner as to just raise the awareness of this .... issue. If I dare call it that.
  10.  
  11. To directly address the trending topic. Maybe Justin Bieber hasn't toured the middle east as a human rights protest. Maybe the corporations that have escalated him to super-stardom do not see such a undertaking as fiscally viable. Or maybe, just maybe, he doesn't give a shit!
