Justin Bieber is caught up in a lawsuit with his new buck-toothed archnemesis, Joustin' Beaver. And believe it or not, Bieber is the defendent. "Joustin' Beaver" is an Android game app starring a teenie-bopping beaver who must navigate a river to sign "otter-graphs," and lance any "phot-hogs" that get in his way while avoiding "whirlpools of success." When Bieber's attorneys sent developers a cease and desist notice, the developers took a page from Hustler v. Falwell and flipped the script.
Negotiations proved fruitless, so developers decided to sue Bieber on the grounds that the game is protected by the First Amendment, hoping to score a win with the ol' satire argument. The lawsuit argues that Joustin' Beaver does not attempt to mislead the public regarding Bieber's image, does not "misappropriate the defendant's name for commercial purposes," and does not "dilute the trademark rights claimed by Bieber." In short, they're saying it's all in good fun and should easily fall under First Amendment protection. What do you think about it? Does Joustin' Beaver stand a chance against Mr. Justin Bieber himself?

'Damn...where'd I leave my Iranian Ballistic missile codes'
Both of them quite frankly should be taken out in front of their families and shot (preferably with napalm). (And if Jeremy Clarkson were here, I think he'd agree).
He'd ask to do it himself. Twice. To each of them.
And if he doesn't, I probably would.
As far as this whole pro/anti-Beiber thing goes...I really don't care. Sometimes anti-Beibers are more annoying than pro-Beibers.
