Gizmodo AU

Tween pop horror Justin Bieber pwns Twitter, needs a haircut and is still better at riding a Segway than some people we won’t mention. So it kinda makes sense that he’s going to ruin everybody’s Christmas with a range of hideous dolls that play 30-second audio clips of his musical monstrosities.
