Firefox tool erases Justin Bieber from Web

Justin Bieber is everywhere. And if you're like so many others over the age of 15, you've seen enough. Luckily, a new Firefox add-on lets you remove all mentions of Bieber from the Web in one fell swoop.

The tool, dubbed Shaved Bieber, evaluates any page a person is browsing and censors all mentions of the teen idol. It works on every site, from Twitter to Google to Wikipedia. People can even go to his personal home page and watch as every mention of Bieber is blocked out.

Shaved Bieber is available in two versions: an add-on, which does all the Bieber removal itself, or a bookmarklet, which requires a person to click on it before it hides mentions of the pop star. The tool also censors photos labeld "Bieber" or "Justin Bieber," so users don't even have to look at him.

The anti-Bieber tool was developed by Greg Leuch, a developer for Free Art and Technology Lab. The organization is "dedicated to enriching the public domain through the research and development of creative technologies and media," the site claims.

7. They should just aged the kid about 30 years so the kids can see what he would look like.

That should turn most of the kids off.

10. I'd be happier if it automatically blocked Bieber-spammers from following me on Twitter.

Also need one for The Jonas Brothers.

11. Same here. But they also need one for Miley Cyrus too.

Bieber, Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers hit the trifecta for colossal irritation and auditory abuse.

See, that's what happens when Disney farms out these talentless acts and foists them on an unsuspecting public to the point of saturation.

You can't enjoy a simple Tweet or a Google Search without coming across an, "OMG !!11!! Justin Bieber touched my hand!!!! I'll tell U abt it l8tr!!!11!!! C U!!!"
