So This

is insanely sad, disturbing and WTF worthy, and it all came about because of This

Quote

The Biebs has copped some pretty harsh backlash from both media and fans since photos were leaked of the pop star smoking what was alleged to be marijuana on the weekend.

Now it appears that some Bieber haters pretending to be "Beliebers" (his hardcore fans) have started a sick online hoax to ride off the media frenzy surrounding his alleged pot smoking.

"Cut For Bieber" and "Cutting For Bieber" became Twitter trends on Monday. The graphic photos posted along with the hash tags supposedly depict "fans" in such states of despair they're cutting their wrists and other body parts in protest over the "Baby" singer's increasingly wayward ways.

While some Twitter users engaged in the trend, others were quick to highlight the seriousness of the issue, and the mental health implications the cutting actually has.

One user tweeted "Ok this cutting for bieber thing is disgusting. It is NOT something to be taken lightly. People really deal with this. Its not a joke. Stop."

Despite the gravity of this "campaign", some Twitter users encouraged it, with one tweet reading "#CutForBieber beiber fans if you are actually cutting yourself for Justin Bieber, pls make sure u cut your neck ok bye )))))))))))))"

Some showed a sense of humour amidst the sick trend on the social networking site, fighting back by showing pictures of themselves cutting paper with scissors. One such user tweeted "#cutforbieber cutting for Bieber pic.twitter.com/vE49LqC1" along with a picture of him "sobbing" while taking scissors to paper.

One way or another, most users appear to thankfully recognise this disturbing trend as a hoax, albeit one in extremely poor taste.

it's fake. well, it started fake. The "one" website we're not allowed to mention started it. They just took cutting pictures and fake twitter accounts and got it trending.

Still kind of disturbing, even if these photos are from the fake accounts, It's screwed that people are trying to coax people into doing that, and if "beliebers" are actually doing that then mans its F**ked up.

I read this yesterday and lol'd. It was apparently trending. Really sad if some people actually did cut themselves even if Bieber had smoked a blunt. Seriously, that's what makes people hate the Bieber fanbase.

I respect Bieber a little more now.

Uhm. Bieber did absolutely nothing here. So why would ones respect for him increase or decrease as a cause of this?

No, cutting isn't a joke, but this is actually pretty funny.

I think he's advocating the weed-smoking.

Hmm, looks like Bieber may have smoked pot. Not that it changes anything. I thought even the pot-smoking was a fake controversy to start this fake cutting.. w/e

Seems like one could parody Beliebers without resorting to disgusting photos, fake though they may be.

Man, those photos are disturbing (the photos are real I think, just not actually from those accounts). I hope that nobody gets swept up in this.

Reminds me of the time the same place started a fake rumor that Bieber had cancer. They got lots of people to shave their heads to support him.

That's poor taste, espescially to people suffering with the disease. Fucking funny for the idiots that actually did it though.
