I don't know when the tide turned and I changed from being indifferent to being a fan of Justin Bieber (@justinbieber). But I like him. He's funny and charming and talented. And Canadian.
I am a proud Belieber.

That's why I read this article with interest:
The persecution of Justin Bieber: Why is everyone attacking our teenage superstar? (Maclean's)
Writer Colby Cosh (@colbycosh) does a terrific job of tearing down the myths surrounding the Biebs ("What? His mom isn't posing for Playboy?") and taking the public to task for attacking a boy who's barely 17. It's a well-researched, persuasive article that's bound to make you rethink the Bieber cultural phenomenon.
Are you a Justin Bieber fan?
