Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber has been calling on fans to vote for the country they would most like him to visit on his upcoming My World tour. After the votes were counted, the country in second place was Israel with 624,803 votes, beaten narrowly by… North Korea.

Hmm, either the
Democratic People's Republic is unexpect-edly full of Bieber fans, or voters were not treating the poll with the gravity it deserved.

Meanwhile, another poll indicates that nearly a third of Israelis have been supporting Germany in the World Cup. A victory for Joachim Loew's v-necked casualwear, perhaps?
