Email ThisAn article published by sophomoric website
CelebJihad.com that quotes
Justin Bieber praising the so-called Ground Zero Mosque and calling Christians "lame-o-rama" has apparently fooled enough opponents of the project to launch an anti-Biebs campaign.
The much-publicized 9/11 Hard Hat Pledge and a Facebook group calling themselves
"Boycott companies who support the Ground Zero Mosque" have included the Canadian tween singer on a list of entities to shun economically because of their support for the officially-named Cordoba House.
Andy Sullivan, who founded 9/11 Hard Hat Pledge, a group of construction workers vowing to not work on the site, told a New York radio station in early December that a Bieber boycott stems from an article he heard about in Tiger Beat magazine. In an interview with Salon, he talked about breaking the news to his 8-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son.

Justin Bieber SnapshotsoKExp.start("popeatermusic-celebs_justin_bieber");"I informed them, 'Hey guys, guess what? Justin Bieber spoke out for the ground zero mosque," Sullivan said. "My little girl took down his poster and said she didn't want to have nothing to do with him anymore. These are my kids. They're living this thing."
So, what exactly did Bieber reportedly tell Tiger Beat? In August, the oft-pornographic satirical site CelebJihad.com (sample headline: "Jessica Alba Spreads Her Legs, Contemplates Her Life")
published a report on an interview they say was from Tiger Beat, which covers Bieber, 16, like white on rice.
"Muslims should be allowed to build a mosque anywhere they want," the singer said. "Coming from Canada, I'm not used to this level of intolerance, eh."
Bieber went on to say that Muslims are "super cool," Christians are "lame-o-rama," and that the mosque will help "start a dialogue" with all religions about which Justin Bieber song is the most awesome.
"I was like seven when September 11th went down, and frankly I'm surprised people are still going on about it. Move on, already!"
Justin Elliott over at
Salon reached CelebJihad's editor and he confirmed the obvious: the article is satire. Further, the site even carries a handy-dandy disclaimer that could aid future readers: "CelebJihad.com is a satirical website containing published rumors, speculation, assumptions, opinions, fiction as well as factual information."
A scan of Tiger Beat's online presence delivers plenty of Bieber, but no Mosque talk.
Since the fake-ness of the article has been made known, the owner of the "Boycott companies who support..." Facebook page has tried to clarify. "We are waiting for comment from Tiger Beat Magazine to verify the article we quoted. However, our source of information was not based on the obviously false quotes from celebjihad."
Which article they quoted to justify adding Bieber to the boycott (and to make him their poster child) has yet to be determined.
But until then, commenters on the Facebook page are having a blast.
?
Kathy Fowler: YOU'VE BEEN PUNKED! Hey Sullivan. You broke your daughter's heart over a false internet rumor. Way to go.
?
Corey Hart: Dear Stupid Admins: the Justin Bieber story was a hoax. As are, apparently, the rumors that your collective IQ exceeds 3.
Bieber and Tiger Beat have yet to comment on the controversy.
