A lot of people – from hardcore obsessive Beliebers, to Sky Ferreira to, um… us, are very conflicted about Justin Bieber's penis today.
Let us explain. When arrested in Miami for alleged drag-racing and DUI, Justin was hauled in by police and made to do tests to prove he was sober. One of them was weeing into a little cup so they could test his urine for any substances you're not meant to have in you (when driving or otherwise). For whatever reason, this was filmed (along with the rest of his temporary detention).
Miami Police has previously released footage of the 20-year-old being searched for drugs and made to walk in a straight line to prove his sobriety. But now the police force has said it's going one step further by releasing photos taken of Bieber's tattoos – his distinguishing marks – and threatening to release the footage of Justin having his wee, just with his penis blurred out.
Devoted Beliebers fall into two camps; the ones who love and respect him (grim, but true) and so don't want to see his privacy invaded. They're the ones behind the trending hashtag on Twitter: #MorePrivacyForJustinBieber. There are many other fans, however, who are only attracted to Bieber because they want him to take their virginity, and are so desperate for a piece of him they don't even mind if the video is of his blurry willy just having a wee. They want to see it.
Even Sky Ferreira, who is currently on tour with Miley Cyrus, has chimed in on Twitter: 'Why is Miami Police Department releasing surveillance videos of Justin Bieber's arrest (including his private parts)? What is the point? To humiliate him & invade his privacy?'
We wouldn't have pegged Sky as a Bieber fan, but it seems she's taking his side this time after having also been detained in a police cell overnight last September following an alleged DUI arrest. And we think we're with Sky on this – surely there's no reason for Bieber's penis to be exposed? Surely we don't need to see that?
