4Chan Members Fabricate Justin Bieber Cancer Scare; Fans Shave Heads To Show Support

Well played, 4Chan. The internet’s deepest rabbit hole of filth and violence has again made headlines for doing something quasi-good. Last night, a group of users from the popular image-based message board devised a campaign around the notion that Justin Bieber had developed cancer and was forced to shave his head. The pranksters covered their ground by developing a plethora of fake tweets, including one supposedly from Bieber himself, and the fake headline quickly started to make real waves across social networks. On any normal day this would be considered a win for the trolls, but the story doesn’t stop …

Christmas is looking a little black and blue this year following yet another caught-on-tape example of security going too far during a rock concert.

Last night, Buffalo, New York played host to Every Time I Die’s annual holiday show. As always, the show was packed and fans were losing their minds as soon as Every Time I Die hit the stage, but no one could see what would happen next.

Shortly after finishing “We’rewolf,” Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley invited fans onstage to join the group before they kicked off their encore, “Floater.” Apparently, there was a miscommunication …
