Band of Belibers...Where's the line between fan and fanatic ?

Comments from an angry Belieber
Okay I'm going to tell you something that you're possibly going to find a little hard to believe. Not everyone under the legal drinking age has Beiber fever. While it’s true that hundreds of thousands are impressed by the swagger of the teenage heartthrob some find him a little hard to stomach. To the average person this development would seem perfectly reasonable. But the average person is not a diehard belieber (a label Bieber’s fans have given themselves). Rolling stone subscriber Randy Clarke found this out when he as well as friends and family were subjected to personal attacks by instagram and Facebook users after posting his adjustments to the latest cover of the magazine which featured beiber now wearing sporting a mullet and sunglasses courtesy of Clarke’s black sharpie. Even amongst a his requests for peace the fans criticized him vehemently for no other reason than his dislike of the Canadian bred pop sensation.

Are fans in our superstar crazed culture too narrow minded and obsessive or is the prominent defense of their beloved idols all in good fun? You can decide by reading Tyler's recount of his experience here.
