Justin Bieber is a douche bag. Let's get that straight right off the bat. 

I do not like the kid, I do not enjoy his music, nor do I think he is any form of a positive contribution to the world. He's pretty much a rich waste of oxygen.

Now that that's out of the way, let me explain why I am writing this blog post in a somewhat annoyed and angry tone.. I went on Twitter this week to sadly discover that the worlds top trending tag was #justinbiebercalvinkleins or #justinbieber. There were TWO top tags revolving around Justin Bieber and his new Calvin Kleins ad campaign. Why? Why was this filthy excuse of a person the top trend?

Because of this.

Apparently the world is in absolute and utter shock that anyone would use something like photoshop in an advertisement picture. People are making Justin Bieber's little bulge the talk of the world. Literally. It is absolutely everywhere I turn online, there is no escaping his little "package".

Now, back to why I am angry about this being the worldwide TOP trend of the week.

During this time, in which Justin Biebers shockingly photoshoped self was the most important and viewed and trending topic, over 2,000 people were massacred and slaughtered in Nigeria. Boko Haram militans opened fire on a village for days on end. People who ran away were slaughtered bombed, people who hid away in their homes were burned alive.. It was considered the absolute most horrific and deadliest attack to ever happen in Nigeria and the world cares more about... his little dick? 

Technology is a resource we can use to raise awareness of issues that sadly, a lot of people wouldn't care to look into or educate themselves about. I would love to see the world use it for a positive advantage. This is starting to feel like more of a personal post than a school related post. I'm just sad about the worlds priorities. Sorry.
