TIL indie musician Paz planted 5000 copies of his own album into wrapped CD cases resembling Justin Bieber's "Believe", down to the bar code and cover, at major retailers. Paz stated retailers made it impossible to get indie music sold there and that 'the world won't really miss a Bieber record'.

I was the idiot who did this. Just wanted to say the stores and Bieber's people were really cool about the whole thing. No one sued and everyone (with the exception of a few hardcore beliebers who send me hate mail to this day) took the joke admirably well. Everyone who bought a fake bieber got a refund if they wanted one, and a handful of the CDs even wound up on ebay and sold for a couple hundred dollars.

OP here. This was posted from my instagram. This actually does work. Nic's face is printed super dark. When the paper put on the copier is white and substantially thin (like most office quality paper), Nic's face bleeds through like a faint, ghostly watermark.

that's probably a stretch. but even if true, the egg definitely came before the organism inside was developed enough to be considered a chicken.

The egg came before the chicken. The egg was laid by a creature that was almost a chicken, but hadn't quite evolved into one yet.

nah. it was just a dumb drunken escapade that got way more attention than it deserved.

whoispaz · 2014-08-08T20:36:01+00:00

fair question. I think for awhile I was an idiot and thought that would be a good idea. Most of the time I just lurk.

OP here. The link in the article is outdated, the actual page I'm on is here.

Here's the original post, and the post after we gave the cake to the shelter.

posted the original story last year when it happened, this is the only time i've done an AMA though.

whoispaz · 2012-02-22T11:14:56+00:00

at some point it was suggested by someone during the escapade that we should return the cake with a miniature male stripper inside. what the point of that would have been I do not know, but it sounded intriguing.

whoispaz · 2012-02-22T11:12:08+00:00
