What teen girl wouldn’t want to get her hands on a lock of hair belonging to Justin Bieber? But when that single lock sells for $40,000, I guess it’s a wee bit above their budget. However, Golden Palace online casino was able to pay that very amount for the lock of hair put up for auction by Ellen DeGeneres after the Bieb gave it to her as a birthday gift. The online casino paid the vast amount as an ongoing publicity stunt of picking up the weirdest and whackiest items at auctions where proceeds are donated to charity. The forty grand will be donated to the Gentle Barn, an organization that takes care of abused animals and special needs kids. Golden Palace knows that many will pay an arm and a leg just to see the hair, and so will set the Bieber locks out on a tour of their own and all money collected will be donated as well. I guess it’s a win-win situation for all involved.
OK, so here’s a disclaimer: I like the kid BUT I cannot ignore some of the jokes doing the rounds about him on the internet, such as these:
Justine Bieber crossed the road to beat a chicken but came back crying because the chicken won.
Bieber’s mom often tells his friends stories of when he was little. It’s not that hard… they’re only from a few months ago…
