Justin Bieber is a pop star who looks like he’s about 11—don’t worry, though, he’s 16. If a celebrity is someone famous for being famous, Bieber is a celebrity who is famous for perennially being a trending topic on Twitter. For his upcoming world tour, Bieber’s fans are having a contest to see which country wants him the most. Currently:

Third Place: Poland.

Second Place: North Korea (Gawker explains how Bieber is so popular in a country that doesn’t have Twitter, or the Internet).

First Place: Israel.

I don’t think I need to tell you what to do now.
