justin bieber died

Another internet rumor is going on that Justin Bieber has died. And
it’s already the 4th or 5th time that Bieber is rumored as dead.
Justin died already in an internet hoax last August 2, 2009 then three
times this 2010, on January 5, February 22 then just lately, June
10th. Did I miss out a date?
It seems like some people are making fun of something not funny.
Someone made a Youtube video with the title “Justin Bieber dead in
night club CNN confirms” then a Facebook Page was made and it’s simply
called RIP Justin Bieber.
The 16-year-old boy is very much alive. In fact, just two hours ago,
he has invited his 3,032,000 Twitter followers to visit his Youtube
channel and watch behind-the-scene video of “Somebody to Love” feat.
Usher.Killing off celebrities via Twitter is the newest game for thumb-typing idiots. You post a tweet about a celebrity dying and see how long it takes to get onto the news. In some cases, it happens within hours, and in other cases, it takes days. Regardless, it entertains a few people and lets all the news websites make money on ad revenue repudiating the rumors.
In Justin Bieber’s case, his very young fans sometimes think it’s real, so they get very worried. Which is sad, and another thing that’s sad is when I see on the news that some celebrity died, I’m not entirely sure it’s true! It’s getting to be that I need to see a death certificate to believe what I’m reading.
Oh, and for the record. Justin Bieber did not get arrested either.

According to Gov. Mike Beebe, at least 16 people, including some children, were killed Friday after flash floods swept through their remote Caddo Gap Arkansas campsites following a heavy rain.
ABC reported that about 60 campers were rescued by emergency workers, another two dozen hospitalized, citing authorities. Dozens more are still missing and feared dead.
Watch the video report from ABC:This has been the deadliest rainy season in recent memory in the state. One flood did kill 237 people in Rapid City, South Dakota in 1972. It was the worst rain related disaster that the country has ever seen in recent years. A flash flood in 1889 that was caused by a broken dam killed more than 2,000 people in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
*Sponsored Links*Arkansas Flooding – The floods occur after an intense rain that pushed the rivers in the area to flood suddenly and unexpectedly. Since most of the rainfall came in the middle of the night, when the rivers flooded they quickly filled the valley that was full of people sleeping in their campgrounds that were spread throughout the camping spot, including Albert Pike Campground.
