A mildly embarassing case of mistaken identity

One rainy afternoon as I sat in my comfy couch divet mindlessly flipping t.v. channels on on a rare and coveted day off, I came across a clip of a music video. I only saw it for two seconds, and I could've sworn I was witness to a butch lesbian, pop music star on the Much Music countdown.

Could it be true? Clearly this matter would require further investigation. Upon closer inspection (more precisely, google image and a wikipedia entry), I realized that this mysterious gender-bending, chart-topping sensation was, in fact...

... A fifteen-year-old boy named Justin Bieber.

He looks like this



And like this



The lessons to be learned from this brief case of mistaken identity?

a) Teenage boys can be mistaken for cute lesbians.
b) Not to expect anything too earth-rattling, like a chart-topping dyke to hit pop culture. Not yet, at least.
