Sometimes you don’t need an elaborate story to convince people you are dead. All it took to throw a nation of “Beliebers” into a frenzy was the trending topic #RipJustinBieber. Bieber, who currently has almost 22 million Twitter followers, promptly ended the speculation by, well, tweeting. Sadly, it did not happen soon enough to prevent Bieber fans from transforming “Rest in Peace” into “Really Inspiring Person,” thus causing the Internet to throw up a little bit in its own mouth. If you’d like to pay your respects to the not-deceased Bieber, you can always post something on his Facebook tribute page.
