This is the strangest crossover I’ve ever seen
Thought JB beat up Pedro pascal
Igor made a full recovery, but was ostracised from society for having Justin Bieber as his ringtone.
The startled bear fled, saving his life.
I’m not sure how long the bear would have survived if he heard the entire song.
Alternative Headline: “Russian Man Learns Bears have Great Taste in Music.”
Are we back in 2011 or what?
Just looking at the photo, it looks like this was either a before and after, or that Bieber did this to him…
What do you know? Bears have a good taste in music
Noted : play Baby by Justin Bieber in the event you’re about to get attacked by a bear
They forgot to add that the bear found the highest cliff and ended it all after hearing this
Bieber’s music makes me want to run away also, so it checks out.

> A fisherman in Russia narrowly avoided death by brown bear when his cellphone rang and the pop punk’s music sounded — sending the beast fleeing into the forest.
> Igor Vorozhbitsyn was heading to a fishing spot in northern Russia when the bear suddenly appeared and pounced on him, Central European News reported.
> “I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me,” Vorozhbitsyn said.
> The 42-year-old was saved when Bieber’s chart-topping song “Baby” started playing.
> “I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and he fled,” Vorozhbitsyn said. “I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste, but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke.”
> Vorozhbitsyn called for help after the bear took off and was rescued by other fishermen.
> He suffered cuts and bruises around his face and chest and is currently recovering from the vicious attack. Vorozhbitsyn posted a picture of himself after the grisly attack — showing off his swollen eye, gauze wrapped around his head and bandages on his hand, arm and abdomen.
I can’t bear Bieber either.
If he had played Friday of Rebeca Black, the bear would have died on site due to cringe
The bear was obviously not a belieber
I’m imagining the bear covering its ears and yowling in agony
I’d flee too!
“Raaaaawr”
“It’s like baby baby baby ooh”
“Whimper”
The bear realized that this guy was probably a bigger predator and rightly fled.
I mean same…. I’d run away too.
man that fights bears listens to justin biebers music….. you see kids strong people don’t worry what others think of their music
I smell a Hollywood movie
Real respects real. I’mma start wearing my Bieb’s merch in forests
