Yeah, Wal-Greens carries them also. I was thinking to get one for use as a "Roid Brush" but as I have no hemmies parked in the garage did not wanna spend the money.

Man, i love Bieber. I admit it. The people behind him are brilliant. He's a dweeb who i can do without.

But his marketing team is taking this a litttttllleeee too far.

My facebook status after seeing these last week at the supermarket:

"I think it's time to commit suicide. I don't want to live in a world where Justin bieber toothbrushes exist."

He will eventually get too old to be a "child star" anymore and will lose his marketability. Give it a little longer...

In the mean time, here, play with this. We should at least get some fun out of this thread.

This is just getting ridiculous. Surely the goose is almost out of golden eggs?

I think this is more of a sign of desperation in Beiber's marketing team than of the apocalypse. Maybe I'm just weird like that.

I'd think your goose is out of golden eggs when a celebrity starts marketing tooth brushes to make a buck.

Sounds like the bieb's owners are just taking a lesson from Col. Parker.

in 1956 America was awash with so much Elvis merch it was pathetic. When asked why he did it, Parker said he figured Elvis would only be popular for a year or so before he burned out and disappeared, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hottest.

The more things change...

Are you saying this is an example that the Biebs star will shine forever?

And I recall Gene Simmons is tenaciously doing this to this very day.
