Justin Bieber and Li'l Kim?

Hard to say who loves mop-top teen singer Justin Bieber more–squealing little girls or the prank-playing practitioners of cultural anarchy on the Web. Over the weekend, hackers took advantage of a YouTube vulnerability (since fixed) to redirect Bieber-page visitors to porn sites or pop up a message suggesting the lad had expired. Now the Web wags are in the process of stuffing the ballot box in a vote on where Beiber should bring his world tour. Israel was leading the contest until the viral assault; now, if the voters have their way, Bieber will take the stage in front of a baffled audience in North Korea. Justin Bieber and Kim Jong Il–now there’s a photo op.

About Voices

This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
