Want to block Justin Bieber? There's an app for that
Maybe it's because I'm not a tween or a teenage girl, but I'd rather go weed my lawn in scorching heat than hear about Justin Bieber. The only pleasure he's brought me was when I watched a video of him walking into a glass door in Germany – that was a great laugh.
As I constantly surf the web, I come across countless stories that somehow involve the Canadian sensation. Thankfully, there's a program to block him out of the online experience. It's called Shaved Bieber.Greg Leuch's application puts Bieber-related content six feet under while surfing the net, placing the power of Bieber censorship in your hands. Any mentions of "Bieber" or "Justin Bieber" plus any pictures with his name in it will be blocked. Fantastic!
You can download it either as a plug-in for browsers like FireFox and Chrome, or as a bookmarklet for other browsers like IE.
Thank goodness, because he just added a whole lot of extra tour dates.
But while this inoculation would seem to promise praise for its founder, quite the opposite has happened.
Leuch, a software developer, has faced death threats since developing this program.I'd link to some of the tweets this bright New York-based resident has been receiving, but sadly they've been removed.
One, however, read 'Stop with the SHAVED BIEBER!! I know how to use a gun!!! I can appear next to U at any moment!!!'
So go ahead, block the Biebs. And while you're at it, block it on your favourite fan's computer too. Looks like this mother did.

I really do think that bieber blocker is the best thing thats happened to the world..
he's just an arrogant teenager who thinks he's cool cause he knows usher. so fucking what. all he sings about is money, and girls, pretty pathetic tbh. and he looks like a tit too. and im 13, i think he should go die in a hole.

Perhaps the greatest app for Firefox since Add Blocker Plus! Now if only this app would somehow work for MSN Messenger, heck why stop there, I would like a microchip installed in my brain that censors out everything ****** ****** related, and while I'm at it, I'd like to block pretty much everything remotely related to tween fangasms. Oh, and I'd like to block out my neighbour's dogs barking at 3 AM. But, I suppose one scientific miracle at a time...
