WWYC of the Week + Ticket Giveaway!

I don't really get Justin Bieber. I think its all a little bit weird. You just have to wonder how much further we can dive into the fountain of youth before we raise an army of Michael Jacksons. People, though, seem to really love Justin Bieber, especially this little girl. The band PonySlaystation, besides brilliantly rearranging the letters of our favorite console to create a name that implies they either murder or have sex with ponies (or I guess both), showed their appreciate of Justin Bieber in the form of screaming.
