A group of internet trolls from the forum 4chan have started a campaign to get the sick hashtag #cutforbieber trending on twitter in response to photos published online of Justin Bieber smoking marijuana.
Posing as his fans, the hoax involved posting photos of people cutting themselves, saying it was in reaction to the popstar’s recent recreational drug use.
This is on the back of another recent hoax where the hashtag #baldforbieber was trending in response to the fake rumour that Bieber had cancer, with fans supposing shaving their heads in support.
Some believe it as credible and appear to be taking it literally, while the vast majority are denouncing the statement as disrespectful, inhumane and embarrassing Others have taken a humorous approach, by suggesting to cut their hair, cut some paper or slice a cake for the Canadian pop star.
