You can never be too careful with internet polls. Time magazine learned that the hard way when their “Time 100″ poll got completely wrecked by internet pranksters from the internet forum 4chan, and now something similar has happened to the Justin Bieber My World Contest.
In the contest, users were called to vote which country should Justin Bieber visit next. Currently, courtesy of the folks from 4chan, that country is North Korea.
Since most people in North Korea don’t even have (free) internet access, it’s obvious that the contest was hacked, but with only 21 hours left, it’s likely that North Korea will stay on top. Currently, North Korea has 552000 votes, followed by Israel with 546000 votes and Poland with 509000 votes.
Will Justin Bieber really go to North Korea? We doubt. The Canadian teen sensation should tread carefully in Internet waters, though, as he’s recently been the target of another 4chan attack. Who knows what they’re planning for him next?
